Artigo Científico Acesso embargado Associação entre Disbiose Intestinal e o nível de ansiedade em estudantes da saúde de uma universidade da Grande Florianópolis(2020) Carioni, Maria LuisaIntroduction: The intestinal microbiota refers to the community of living microorganisms that inhabit the intestinal mucosa. It has the main function to protect against pathogens, improving the host's immune response. When there is an imbalance in this ecosystem, the bacteria become harmful to the host, causing intestinal dysbiosis. Anxiety is a state in which an individual experiences unpleasant emotional reactions, caused by tension, apprehension, nervousness, causing symptoms such as tremors, restlessness, shortness of breath, nausea, diarrhea and abdominal pain, which in the academic environment can impair the performance of students. Objective: To analyze whether there is an association between intestinal dysbiosis and anxiety level in healthcare students at a university in Florianópolis. Methods: The datas were collected using a questionnaire composed of the Trait-State Anxiety Inventory, the Bristol scale and part of the Metabolic Screening Questionnaire applied to 195 students. Results: 86.67% (n = 169) of the students had a medium level of anxiety. 91.49% (n = 86) of students had a medium level of anxiety, also had intestinal dysbiosis. According to the QRM, 48.21% (n = 94) of the students presented an indication for the presence of intestinal dysbiosis. The Bristol scale showed that 21.03% (n = 41) of the participants were at risk for dysbiosis, the majority of whom were female. Conclusion: The results suggest that there is an association between intestinal dysbiosis and anxiety level in healthcare students. The balance of the intestinal microbiota is essential to maintain the proper functioning of the brain-intestine axis, as this connection has shown a relevant influence on health.
