Abstract (English): Introduction: There is evidence that mental disorders can lead to a greater risk of alcohol consumption, especially in vulnerable populations such as medical students. Objective: To determine the association of mental disorders with alcohol consumption in medical students of a Peruvian university. Material and Methods: An analytical, cross-sectional study was carried out. The sample consisted of 210 students, the selection was random and by strata. The DASS-21 questionnaire was used to measure depression, anxiety and stress. In addition, the AUDIT questionnaire was used to assess the risk of alcohol consumption. The results were presented through univariate and bivariate analysis. Results: 210 medical students were analyzed, finding a prevalence of depression of 35.23%, anxiety with 47.61% and stress with 26.66%. Additionally, it was observed that sex did not influence the severity of depression, anxiety and stress. Regarding the risk of alcohol consumption, it was evidenced that no medical student was a non-consumer, the most frequent category was low risk 67.61%, followed by moderate risk 28.57%. In this way, there is a statistically significant direct positive linear relationship, that is, a higher level of depression, anxiety and stress increases the risk of alcohol consumption. Conclusions: The prevalence of mental disorders increases the risk of alcohol consumption in medical students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Introducción: Existe evidencia de que las alteraciones mentales pueden conllevar a un mayor riesgo de consumo de alcohol, sobretodo en poblaciones vulnerables como es el caso de los estudiantes de medicina. Objetivo: Determinar la asociación de los trastornos mentales con el consumo de alcohol en estudiantes de medicina de una universidad peruana. Material y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio de tipo analítico, transversal. La muestra estuvo formada por 210 estudiantes, la selección fue aleatoria y por estratos. Se utilizó el cuestionario del DASS-21 para medir depresión, ansiedad y estrés. Además, el cuestionario AUDIT fue utilizado para evaluar el riesgo de consumo de alcohol. Los resultados fueron presentados a través de análisis univariado y bivariado. Resultados: Se analizaron 210 estudiantes de medicina, encontrándose una prevalencia de depresión del 35,23%, ansiedad con 47,61% y estrés con 26,66%. Adicionalmente, se observó que el sexo no influyó en la severidad de depresión, ansiedad y estrés. Respecto al riesgo de consumo de alcohol se evidenció que ningún estudiante de medicina era no consumidor, la categoría más frecuente fue el riesgo bajo 67,61%, seguido por el riesgo moderado 28,57%. De esta manera existe relación lineal directa positiva estadísticamente significativa, es decir, un mayor nivel de depresión, ansiedad y estrés, el riesgo de consumo de alcohol se incrementa. Conclusiones: La prevalencia de trastornos mentales incrementa en el riesgo de consumo de alcohol en estudiantes de medicina. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
