Abstract

Anxiety is a state of hypervigilance with physical symptoms like palpitations, restlessness, and excessive fear, often beginning in adolescence with issues like fear of public speaking or panic attacks. This study aimed to create a guide for managing anxiety in adolescents, evaluating third-year high school students at the Eugenio Espejo Educational Unit in Cuenca between March and August 2024. A qualitative, non-experimental cross-sectional design was used, with data collected from 34 students via surveys on sociodemographic variables and anxiety levels, assessed using the Beck anxiety test and analyzed with SPSS 26. Results showed higher anxiety in males, with 30.3% having severe anxiety, 27.2% moderate, and 9% minimal.
