Abstract (English): Academic overload represents a factor that may jeopardize the mental health of university students, particularly those enrolled in healthrelated programs such as Nursing. This study aimed to analyze the impact of academic overload on the mental health of Nursing students at the State University of Milagro (UNEMI). A quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive, and cross-sectional research design was employed. The population consisted of 100 students, with a sample of 80 participants who completed a structured survey designed to assess their perception of academic workload and its relationship with mental health indicators. The findings revealed that 82.5% of students considered the academic workload excessive, 75% reported high levels of stress associated with examinations and assignments, and 67.5% experienced anxiety or constant concern related to academic responsibilities. Likewise, 77.5% indicated that academic pressure negatively affects their emotional and mental well-being, 72.5% reported feeling emotionally exhausted, and 70% considered that academic stress limited their ability to cope with daily activities. It was concluded that academic overload significantly influences the mental health of Nursing students, leading to stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. Therefore, the implementation of institutional psychological support programs and academic counseling strategies is recommended to promote student well-being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): La sobrecarga académica representa un aspecto que puede poner en riesgo la salud mental de los estudiantes universitarios, especialmente en disciplinas relacionadas al área de la salud como Enfermería. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar el impacto de la sobrecarga académica en la salud mental de los estudiantes de Enfermería de la Universidad Estatal de Milagro (UNEMI). Se llevó a cabo un estudio con enfoque cuantitativo, diseño no experimental, descriptivo y transversal. La población estuvo conformada por 100 estudiantes y con una muestra de 80 estudiantes, a quienes se aplicó una encuesta estructurada para evaluar la percepción de la carga académica y su conexión con indicadores de salud mental. Los hallazgos mostraron que el 82,5% de los estudiantes considera excesiva la carga académica, el 75% reportó altos niveles de estrés asociados a evaluaciones y tareas, y el 67,5% manifestó experimentar ansiedad o preocupación constante. Asimismo, el 77,5% indicó que la presión académica afecta negativamente su bienestar emocional y mental, el 72,5% señaló sentirse emocionalmente agotado y el 70% consideró que el estrés académico limita su capacidad para afrontar las actividades diarias. Se deduce que la sobrecarga académica influye significativamente en la salud mental de los estudiantes de Enfermería, provocando estrés, ansiedad y agotamiento emocional. Se sugiere implementar programas institucionales de apoyo psicológico y estrategias de acompañamiento académico que favorezcan el bienestar estudiantil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar o impacto da sobrecarga acadêmica na saúde mental dos estudantes de Enfermagem da Universidade Estatal de Milagro (UNEMI). Foi realizado um estudo com abordagem quantitativa, delineamento não experimental, descritivo e transversal. A população foi composta por 100 estudantes, sendo a amostra constituída por 80 participantes, aos quais foi aplicado um questionário estruturado para avaliar a percepção da carga acadêmica e sua relação com indicadores de saúde mental. Os resultados demonstraram que 82,5% dos estudantes consideram a carga acadêmica excessiva; 75% relataram elevados níveis de estresse associados a avaliações e tarefas; e 67,5% afirmaram experimentar ansiedade ou preocupação constante. Além disso, 77,5% indicaram que a pressão acadêmica afeta negativamente seu bem-estar emocional e mental; 72,5% relataram sentir-se emocionalmente esgotados; e 70% consideraram que o estresse acadêmico limita sua capacidade de enfrentar as atividades diárias. Conclui-sé que a sobrecarga acadêmica influencia significativamente a saúde mental dos estudantes de Enfermagem, provocando estresse, ansiedade e esgotamento emocional. Recomenda-se a implementação de programas institucionais de apoio psicológico e estratégias de acompanhamento acadêmico que promovam o bem-estar estudantil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
