Resumo
Objective: to evaluate the association between quality of life and
presence of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in college
students in the health area. Method: cross-sectional study that
included 321 students from undergraduate courses in the health
area. Quality of life was measured using the World Health Organization
scale, abbreviated version, in the physical, psychological, social
relations and environment domains, and symptoms were assessed
by the depression, anxiety and stress scale. Multivariate analysis
was performed using robust linear regression to evaluate the
association between quality of life and symptoms. Results: a negative
association was observed between the quality of life and depression
symptoms in all domains, while anxiety symptoms showed a negative
association in the environment domain, and stress symptoms had a
negative association in the psychological domain. Symptom severity
was unfavorably associated with quality of life, that is, the greater
the symptom severity, the lower the mean scores in all domains.
Conclusion: symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress were
prevalent and had a negative impact on students’ quality of life,
especially in the presence of depressive symptoms. The decrease in
scores was significantly associated with the severity of symptoms.
