Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between anxiety, self-esteem, and depression among students of economic sciences and nursing science. The participants were students from a Cypriot University following different study programs: nursing and business administration and finances. Data were collected using three self-report questionnaires: the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, and the Beck Depression Inventory II. The results indicate that State and Trait were significantly correlated to each other among all students. State and Trait were significantly correlated with Depression in both student groups. Self-esteem scale was significantly correlated with Depression and Trait only in the business administration and finances students group. It is also showed a significant and positive association of State with increased year of studies among all students. Self-esteem score increased as year of studies increased among the students in business administration and finances. It is concluded that there is a need to provide proper mental health services and implement mental health promotion interventions for university students.
