A questionnaire including a group of questions about socio-demographical features, health, social and demographical factors, and about continuous anxiety that are thought to be related to anxiety is made under direct supervision to the students. Results: 52.2% of the students are men and 47.8 % are women, and the average age of them is 21.38±3.59 years. The students’ average point of state anxiety inventory is found to be 43.37±10.46 and continuous anxiety inventory 45.17±8.79. According to our results if the students parent’s monthly income is less, started to study in the department of the university unwillingly, had sheltering problems at the beginning of the university, expressed that they had chronic diseases, evaluated their health conditions as bad, feel ambiguous or desperate about finding a job after graduation and described their characters as introverted had higher anxiety scores (p<0.05). There is no relationship determined between age, family structure, mother and/or father’s living condition, and parent education and state - continuous anxiety (p>0.05). Conclusion: Continuous anxiety level of the university students was found at a significant level and affected by several variables. It is thought that counseling and intervention units, particularly for related factors, will be useful.
