Assessment of anxiety in Mexican adolescents with the CMAS-R2
Abstract
Anxiety is a worldwide public
health problem that affects the entire population in general. The adolescent
stage is identified as particularly vulnerable to developing it, especially
because they are in a great diversity of changes, which influence the
transition from infant to adult. The objective of this research was to evaluate
the anxiety levels of adolescents who attend secondary schools in vulnerable
areas in the state of San Luis Potosí with the Children's Manifest Anxiety
Scale (CMASR) addressing aspects of restlessness, manifest anxiety and social
anxiety. 797 adolescents between 11 and 15 years old participated in this work,
who answered a battery of tests digitally, all participants signed a consent
letter and informed, being minors a letter of consent from parents was
required. The results showed the presence of anxiety in high school students.
It was found that most women suffer from manifest anxiety unlike men. While in
school grade, the presence of anxious symptoms was observed in third year
adolescents. The data obtained revealed the presence of anxiety in the
adolescents evaluated, which is why it is necessary to address and intervene in
the problem to reduce anxiety levels in risk groups.
