A Saúde Mental dos Futuros Contadores: Uma Análise dos Sintomas de Ansiedade e Motivação Acadêmica.

The study analyzes the relationship between anxiety symptoms (state and trait) and motivation to learn among Accounting students. The research is quantitative and descriptive, involving 181 students. Validated questionnaires were used for data collection, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, reliability tests, normality tests, correlation, and regression. The results indicate that most students have moderate levels of state anxiety and trait anxiety, as well as motivation to learn. The analysis showed an inverse relationship between anxiety and motivation, where state anxiety proved to be a significant factor that negatively influences motivation to learn. Additionally, it was found that trait anxiety is not a relevant predictor of motivation to learn when analyzed together with state anxiety. The study highlights the importance of addressing students' mental health to improve their motivation and academic performance, suggesting that higher education institutions should implement measures to manage anxiety.
