Estudo da ansiedade presente nos pré -vestibulandos durante a pandemia do novo coronavírus (Covid-19)

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate how anxiety affects the performance and mental health of preuniversity students in educational systems, especially in this period of social isolation and remote education, due to the pandemic of the new coronavirus. For that purpose, by using a qualitative and quantitative approach, this research, based on a Survey method, applied a semi-structured questionnaire to pre-university students of Anglo and Poliedro educational system in the cities of Fernandópolis-SP, Palmas-TO, São José dos Campos-SP, São Sebastião-SP and Tupã-SP. As main results, it was noted that many students, especially females, have a higher degree of anxiety, and many claim to have increased it during the period of social isolation, but do not have professional follow-up, once parents often find it unnecessary, or as emphasized, educational institutions do not offer access to health professionals.
