Abstract

This project aims to analyze symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress in university students of the first and last year of courses in the area of Pedagogy. For this, a survey was carried out with students using the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale for Adults (DASS-21 – short form): it refers to an instrument developed by Lovibond and Lovibond (1995) that had the purpose of measuring and differentiate symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress in adults. Thus, it was expected to contribute to improving life in the student context, to focus on possible interventions that can be made taking into account the mental health aspects of university students.
