The objectives of this systematic review were to estimate the prevalence of depression and to identify the relationship between depression and quality of life (QOL) among high school and university students. Literature search was performed in the Scopus, Embase, PubMed, Scielo, CINAHL and Web of Science databases, following the PRISMA methodology. The results were presented through descriptive approaches and meta-analysis. Thirty-six studies met the eligibility criteria, and twenty-six were included in the meta-analysis. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 27% (95% CI 0.21–0.33) among students, being high school and university students was 25% (95% CI 0.14–0.37) and 27% (95% CI 0.20–0.34), respectively, and most studies have shown that depression was associated with low QOL. Among the limitations of the study is the difficulty of generalizing the results found, considering the large sample of health students. New studies should be conducted considering the severity, duration, and patterns of depressive symptoms in high school and university students, to better understand the relationship between depression and QOL.

“…When comparing the levels of depression with those of the other instruments, we observed that the higher the level of depression, the greater the level of anxiety, and the greater the quality of life and degree of happiness. In a related manner, ALBANI et al ( 2022) assessed (online) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health, happiness, and religiosity in nursing students (Greece) using, among others, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Greek version of the SF-36 health-related qualityof-life questionnaire, and a Subjective Happiness Scale [53][54][55]. The majority of students considered themselves unhappy and demonstrated very high levels of stress and anxiety during the pandemic [55].…”

Background Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, traditional face-to-face teaching was disrupted, leading to a transition to online activities. Social restrictions and isolation during this period may have contributed to various physical and emotional disorders, such as anxiety, depression, reduced perception of happiness, and a decline in overall quality of life. The objective of our study was to assess the perceptions of medical students regarding their emotions, anxiety and depression symptoms, and daily experiences during the pandemic. Methods We conducted a prospective study with both quantitative and qualitative components involving students in their 1st to 4th year of medicine at a private university in São Paulo, Brazil in 2020 and 2021. Participants completed online questionnaires, including the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ), and Medical Student Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (VERAS-Q). Additionally, they engaged in online focus group discussions. Results A total of 313 students completed the questionnaires, and 200 participated in the focus group. Women exhibited higher scores for anxiety (p = 0.002) and depression (p = 0.007), while men demonstrated better quality of life (p = 0.042). The students aged 18 to 24 years (p = 0.048) presented better quality of life and lower trait anxiety (p = 0.001). Both trait and state anxiety were strongly associated with depression (p < 0.01) and inversely related to quality of life, showing a moderate association with happiness (p < 0.01). Depression was strongly linked to both trait and state anxiety (p < 0.01) and moderately negatively correlated with happiness and quality of life (p < 0.01). The focus groups revealed recurring negative feelings among students, such as anxiety, depression, tiredness, discouragement, loneliness, difficulty managing time, poor sleep quality, exacerbation of harmful habits, and challenges in relationships, resulting in reduced mental and physical health during the pandemic. Coping strategies were discussed, including the adoption of new healthy habits, religious practices, and reconnection with family. Conclusion Depression and anxiety symptoms were more prevalent among females, while quality of life improved for younger and male students. The qualitative analysis enhanced our understanding of the determinants and consequences of students' recurring negative feelings, and also showed positive aspects like greater proximity to family and religiosity.

Social restrictions and isolation during this period may have contributed to various physical and emotional disorders. We aimed to assess the perceptions of medical students regarding their emotions, anxiety and depression symptoms, and daily experiences during the pandemic. Methods: We conducted a prospective mixed methods study involving students in their 1st to 4th years of medicine at a university in São Paulo, Brazil,in 2020 and 2021. Participants completed online questionnaires, including the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ), and Medical Student Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (VERAS-Q) and participated in an online focus group. Results:313 students finished the questionnaires, and 200 were involved in the focus group.
