Abstract: Anxiety is
an uncomfortable feeling
taking form as
an uncertainty of
something that has
not happened, which is
followed by physical
responses of the
body. This study
aims to describe the anxiety disorder level and the factors that
triggered the anxiety of the 2007’s students of the Faculty of Medicine in “X”
University. This research is descriptive observational, with the data collected
from a survey and some interviews. Eighty students were interviewed using a
Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HARS) test
and then they
were given a
questionnaire. The result
of the HARS
test shows that
43.75% of the students had no anxiety, 27.5% had mild
anxiety, 17.5% had moderate anxiety, 7.5% had severe anxiety and 3.75% had very severe anxiety. The answers to
the questionnaire denote that parental factors were dominant in triggering the
students’ anxiety: 96.25% of the students answered that their parents had high
hope in them. Also, students’ perfection demand had become another factor
(47.5%). In addition, 43.75% needed to depend on people stronger than them, 40%
had less self confidence, and 51.25% always delayed important duties. In
conclusion, the level of anxiety disorder in the 2007’s students of the Faculty
of Medicine in “X” University was quite high,
whereas the factors
that triggered their
anxiety were parental and
individual.
