Gambaran Kondisi Psikososial dan Aktivitas Fisik Pada Mahasiswa Tingkat Akhir Fakultas Keperawatan Universitas Padjadjaran

Abstract

Health is a fundamental aspect that encompasses overall physical, mental, and social well-being. Final-year students are prone to psychosocial stress due to academic demands, thesis writing, and concerns about the future, which can trigger stress, anxiety, and depression. On the other hand, physical activity also plays an important role in maintaining physical and psychological balance, but is often neglected due to busy academic activities. Nursing students, as future health workers, are expected to be able to apply a healthy lifestyle through sufficient physical activity and good psychosocial management. This study aims to describe the psychosocial conditions and physical activity of final year students at the Faculty of Nursing, Padjadjaran University. This study used a quantitative descriptive method with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of 213 final-year students from the 2022 cohort at the Faculty of Nursing, Padjadjaran University, selected via total sampling, conducted from December 31, 2025, to February 11, 2026. Data were collected using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) and the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) and analyzed using univariate analysis. The results showed that students experienced psychosocial problems with depression in 104 students (52.00%) and stress in 95 students (47.50%) in the normal category, while anxiety problems were in the moderate category in 67 students (69.00%). In terms of physical activity, most students were in the low physical activity category, with 80 students (40.00%). The presence of psychosocial issues among students, characterized by moderate anxiety and low levels of physical activity, underscores the need for educational institutions to strengthen their promotive and preventive efforts to improve student health.
