Abstract
Introducción: En América Latina y el Caribe, tanto los trastornos de ansiedad como el Trastorno Obsesivo- Compulsivo (TOC) se ocupan como algunos de los trastornos mentales más comunes. En Paraguay se ha estudiado a ambos trastornos de manera individual, más no así en correlación. Objetivo: Determinar la correlación de las dimensiones del trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo con los factores de ansiedad de estudiantes universitarios de medicina de la Universidad Nacional de Asunción en el año 2019. Material y Método: Estudio cuantitativo, diseño correlacional -descriptivo, muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia en cadena, desde abril hasta mayo del 2019, en la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas (sede Sajonia). Universo conformado por N=450 estudiantes y muestra necesaria de n=201. Se aplicó el Inventario Obsesivo Compulsivo -Revisado (OCI-R) y el Inventario De Ansiedad Estado -Rasgo (STAIC). Resultados: Se analizaron 208 encuestas,. donde se pudo determinar una Edad media de 20,875±1,76 años; la mayoría de los encuestados corresponden al sexo femenino. Se encontró una correlación (r=0,431) significativa (p<0,05) entre el TOC y ansiedad de estudiantes de medicina. Conclusión: En la presente investigación se determinó una correlación positiva para las dimensiones del trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo y los factores de la ansiedad; se indica que el aumento cuantitativo en el puntaje de dichas dimensiones se acompaña con un aumento en los factores de la ansiedad.
Background: In Latin America and the Caribbean, both anxiety disorders and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) are among the most common mental disorders. In Paraguay, both disorders have been studied, but not in correlation. Objective: To determine the correlation of the dimensions of obsessive-compulsive disorder with anxiety factors in undergraduate medical students of the National University of Asuncion in 2019. Methods: Quantitative study, correlational-descriptive design, non-probabilistic chain convenience sampling, from April to May 2019, at the Faculty of Medical Sciences (Saxony campus). Universe made up of N=450 students and necessary sample of n=201. The Obsessive Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) and the State- Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAIC) were applied. Results: 208 surveys were analyzed. Mean age was 20.875±1.76 years. The majority of respondents were female. A significant correlation (r=0.43l) (p<0.05) was found between OCD and Anxiety in medical students. Conclusion: In the present investigation a positive correlation was determined for the dimensions of obsessive- compulsive disorder and anxiety factors; it is indicated that the quantitative increase in the score of these dimensions is accompanied by an increase in anxiety factors.
