MPIQ[?=-0.033,95%CI(0.943,0.993))?Conclusion The detection rate of anxiety among first-year medical college freshmen in ZhaoQing Medical College is in the middle level in China.Increased study pressure,poor sleep quality,depression and dependence on mobile phones are the main factors influencing anxiety among first-year medical college freshmen.Therefore,the anxiety of college students,especially the anxiety of medical college freshmen,needs to be paid attention to by students,parents and schools,and appropriate measures should be taken for active intervention.
