Abstract

Anxiety is a condition that arises due to a response to stress or conflict, leading to feelings of unease, worry, or fear. Adaptation is an essential requirement for the development of individual mental health. Medical students are those enrolled and engaged in the teaching-learning process within the medical faculty at the higher education level. This study aimed to determine the difference in anxiety levels between first-year and fourth-year medical undergraduate students at Universitas Halu Oleo in 2022. This study employed an observational analytic method with a cross-sectional approach. The research was conducted at the Medical Faculty of Universitas Halu Oleo with 158 respondents, including active students of the medical undergraduate program at UHO from the 2019 (first-year) and 2022 (fourth-year) cohorts, selected using the Stratified Random Sampling technique. Data collection was conducted using the SZAZ questionnaire, followed by data analysis using the Chi-Square test. Out of the total respondents, 70 (44.3%) experienced mild anxiety, and 88 (55.7%) experienced moderate anxiety. Specifically, among the first-year students, 20 (12.7%) experienced mild anxiety and 67 (42.4%) experienced moderate anxiety. Among the fourth-year students, 50 (31.6%) experienced mild anxiety, and 21 (13.3%) experienced moderate anxiety. The results of the bivariate analysis indicated a significant difference in anxiety levels between first-year and fourth-year students (p-value < 0.0001). This study demonstrated a difference in the anxiety levels between first-year and fourth-year medical undergraduate students at Universitas Halu Oleo in 2022.
