Resumo
De acordo com a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), a saúde é definida como um estado de completo bem-estar físico, mental e social, e não apenas a ausência de doenças. A depressão caracteriza-se por humor deprimido, perda de interesse e sentimentos de culpa ou desesperança, enquanto a ansiedade envolve preocupação excessiva e sensação de ameaça. Esses transtornos podem provocar alterações bioquímicas, como o aumento do cortisol, que influencia a resposta inflamatória, a função imunológica e o metabolismo da glicose, podendo agravar o quadro clínico ou desencadear outras doenças. A coagulação sanguínea é essencial para a hemostasia e depende da interação entre plaquetas, fatores plasmáticos e endotélio vascular. Evidências indicam que estados emocionais, como ansiedade, estresse e depressão, modulam a resposta hemostática por mecanismos neuroendócrinos e imunológicos. Diante disso, esta pesquisa, apoiada pelo CNPq-PIBIC e desenvolvida na Universidade Metodista de São Paulo (UMESP), teve como objetivo avaliar níveis de ansiedade e depressão em estudantes e correlacioná-los com parâmetros laboratoriais. Após aprovação do CEP-UMESP (7.521.549) e assinatura do TCLE, aplicaram-se escalas de rastreio e coletaram-se amostras sanguíneas no Núcleo de Análises Clínicas (NAC). Os dados foram analisados no software SPSS versão 26.0 e Teste qui-quadrado de Pearson, considerando significância de p<0,05. Nos resultados (n=30), observou-se tendência a transtornos de ansiedade e alterações na cascata de coagulação, sugerindo que o ambiente universitário pode favorecer o desenvolvimento de ansiedade.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease. Depression is characterized by low mood, loss of interest, and feelings of guilt or hopelessness, whereas anxiety involves excessive worry and a sense of threat. These disorders can cause biochemical alterations, such as increased cortisol levels, which influence inflammatory response, immune function, and glucose metabolism, potentially worsening the clinical condition or triggering other diseases. Blood coagulation is essential for hemostasis and depends on the interaction among platelets, plasma factors, and vascular endothelium. Evidence indicates that emotional states such as anxiety, stress, and depression can modulate the hemostatic response through neuroendocrine and immunological mechanisms. This study, supported by CNPq-PIBIC and conducted at the Methodist University of São Paulo (UMESP), aimed to assess anxiety and depression levels among students and correlate them with laboratory parameters. After approval by the UMESP Research Ethics Committee (7.521.549) and signing of the Informed Consent Form (ICF), screening scales were applied, and blood samples were collected at the Clinical Analysis Center (NAC). Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) version 26.0, and Pearson’s chi-square test, considering p<0.05 as significant. The results (n=30) showed a tendency toward anxiety disorders and alterations in the coagulation cascade, suggesting that the university environment may contribute to the development of anxiety.
