In this research, the quantitative method of a descriptive – propositional type was used; with a population formed by 40 students of the mental health course, of the professional career of Nursing of the UPAGU. The instrument used for the evaluation was the Zung Test, made up of 20 items formulated in writing to the students. The results show mainly that 25% of the study population has moderate to minimal anxiety. It is concluded that the anxiety levels of the students can be reduced with the application of a program of methodological strategies, being the level of Moderate or minimum anxiety the one that occurs with the highest incidence.
