Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has inflicted physical harm and exacerbated a significant mental health crisis, warranting greater attention. This study investigated the prevalence of anxiety and depression among international medical students (IMSs) during the pandemic and explored its correlation with demographic factors. Participants completed a comprehensive questionnaire encompassing demographic details, the Zung self-rating anxiety scale, and the Zung self-rating depression scale. The findings revealed that 23.27% of IMSs reported anxiety, while 48.52% experienced symptoms of depression. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified poor health conditions and limited access to the family as independent risk factors for anxiety. At the same time, depression was associated with both compromised health and notable financial burdens. This study provides crucial insights for policymakers, college administrators, and government authorities, urging proactive measures to support and manage the wellbeing of IMSs during pandemic situations.
