大学生心理健康已成为健康专家和社会关注的焦点。一些研究考虑了健康科学专业的学生，主要是医科学生。最近，关于计算机科学(CS)学生心理健康的讨论越来越普遍。本文介绍了一项关于CS学生焦虑和抑郁症状患病率的研究。这项研究是在里约热内卢联邦农村大学(UFRRJ)进行的，这是一所巴西公立大学。本研究的目的是验证巴西CS学生中焦虑和抑郁症状的患病率及其相关因素。学生是从UFRRJ的CS项目中随机挑选出来的($n=131$)，年龄在18到30岁之间。参与者完成了一份社会人口统计调查问卷和两份清单--贝克焦虑量表(BAI)和贝克抑郁量表(BDI)--用于衡量焦虑和抑郁症状的水平。使用TIBCO STATISTICA\TextSuperscript#8482软件(版本13.5)进行统计分析。学生中焦虑和抑郁症状的患病率分别为51.9%和64.9%，高于之前在巴西普通人群和医科学生中的调查结果。此外，女生的BDI和BAI得分较高，我们观察到BAI、BDI和睡眠质量等之间存在统计上的显著关系。这篇文章描述了我们的研究和发现，并提出了CS学生可能能够减少焦虑和抑郁症状的方法。
The mental health of undergraduate students has become a focus of attention for health experts and for society. Several studies have considered students from the Health Sciences, predominantly medical students. Lately, discussions about the mental health of Computer Science (CS) students have become increasingly common. This paper presents a study about the prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms among CS students. This study was conducted at Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ), a Brazilian public university. The aim of this study was to verify the prevalence and associated factors of anxiety and depression symptoms among Brazilian CS students. Students were randomly selected ($n=131$) from the CS program at UFRRJ, aged between 18 and 30 years. The participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire and two inventories -- the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) -- that were used to measure levels of anxiety and depression symptoms. Statistical analysis was performed using the TIBCO Statistica\textsuperscript#8482; software (version 13.5). The prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms among the students were, respectively, $51.9%$ and $64.9%$, which are higher than previous findings in the Brazilian general population and among medical students. Additionally, the BDI and BAI scores were higher among female students, and we observed statistically significant relationships between BAI, BDI, and sleep quality, among others. This paper describes our study and findings and addresses ways in which CS students may be able to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
