Key result
Administration students had higher rates of abnormal anxiety (33.33%) and poor sleep quality (71.43%), with anxiety scores explained by stress, sleep quality, depression, and Major of study.
Why the study?
Existing data on sleep quality and anxiety have focused primarily on health sciences students, leaving it unclear whether similar issues exist among students in other majors.
Cross-Sectional (n=80)
Anxiety and poor sleep quality are highly prevalent in undergraduate students, particularly in Social Sciences (Administration), highlighting the need for anxiety management across different majors.

May warrant mental health screening among administration students; leaves open causal links and intervention effects.
Sleep quality in college students has been related to anxiety and depressive symptomatology. However, the available statistics have been focused on students from Health Sciences thus preventing to know whether the same problematic is observed in students from other Majors. We applied the scales DASS-21, PSQI, and EAT-26 to 80 Mexican undergraduate students enrolled to any of the first three semesters of Majors in Administration, Industrial Engineering, or Medicine. We report that the percentage of students with abnormal scores in anxiety (33.33%) and poor sleeping quality (71.43%) was higher in Administration students. By using a logistic regression model, we show that anxiety scores can be explained by stress level, poor sleep quality, depression scores, and by the Major of study. Our findings show that anxiety management is needed for students to alleviate other emotional affections and improve sleep quality, particularly for those of Social Sciences.
