Abstract:
Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and physical
changes like increased blood pressure. People with anxiety disorders usually have recurring intrusive thoughts or concerns. The growth in interest in studying the influence of anxiety on academic performance in medical students led us to conduct a study with a basis for comparison in identifying the level of anxiety in students of different fields concerning medical students at the level of Tashkent, Uzbekistan. According to the results of the study, students studying in medical schools have mild to moderate anxiety levels (48.5483 points on the Zung SAS scale), whereas non-medical students had a normal level of anxiety (44.3 points on the Zung SAS scale). Among non-medical specialties, students studying in the school of Arts and Humanities showed higher points (44. 85 points on average) on the given scale and the lowest result(42.78 points on average) obtained among students of the natural sciences faculty. Also, anticipating anxiety-causing factors was highlighted among students of all disciplines.
