Abstract

Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress and can be beneficial in certain situations. It can make us alert to dangers, help us prepare, and pay attention to our surroundings (Parekh, 2017). According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2017), anxiety is a common mental disorder with the highest prevalence compared to other mental disorders. Anxiety can be found among medical students in every academic year. This study aims to identify the level of anxiety among students of the Faculty of Medicine at Gorontalo State University. The method used in this research is quantitative research with an analytical descriptive approach. The population in this study consists of 143 medical students from Gorontalo State University, enrolled between 2019 and 2021, and the sampling technique used is total sampling. It was found that the majority of respondents experienced moderate and severe levels of anxiety, with 52 students (36.4%) falling into each of these categories. Additionally, 26 students (18.2%) were categorized as having mild anxiety, and 13 students (9.1%) were categorized as normal (no anxiety). It can be concluded that the highest levels of anxiety among students at Gorontalo State University's Faculty of Medicine are in the moderate and severe anxiety categories.
