Abstract

The aim of this research was to determine the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among Physical Edu-cation and Sports students following the pandemic, as well as to identify a relationship between these disorders and factors from the DASS-21 scale, considering gender differences. A descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional study was conducted on a non-random convenience sample of 245 participants. The study revealed that 39.2% of participants exhibited symptoms of depression, 53.1% experienced some degree of anxiety, and 42.4% reported feeling some level of stress. Additionally, significant relationships were found between levels of depression and anxiety (rs = 0.715, p < .01), depression and stress (rs = 0.767, p < .01), as well as anxiety and stress (rs = 0.759, p < .01). It was observed that depression and stress affected women more, with 46.6% and 55.7%, respectively, compared to men, where it was recorded at 35% for both cases (p = .043 and p = .002, respectively). On the other hand, although anxiety affected 56.8% of women and 51% of men, no significant differences were found between the two genders (p = .110). It is essential to implement interventions aimed at addressing the mental health of students, both in crisis situations and in more stable contexts.
