ABSTRAK
Pendahuluan: Kecemasan merupakan suatu respon yang dapat mengganggu kehidupan baik secara kualitas maupun kuantitas. Kecemasan dapat menimbulkan gejala fisiologis (gemetar,berkeringat,detak jantung meningkat) dan gejala psikologis (panik,tegang,bingung). Tekanan darah adalah tekanan yang dihasilkan oleh darah terhadap pembuluh darah. Tekanan darah dapat dipengaruhi oleh kecemasan, karena dapat merangsang sistem saraf otonom yang dapat meningkatkan tekanan darah, denyut jantung, dan respirasi.
Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui hubungan antara tingkat kecemasan dan tekanan darah pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Tadulako angkatan 2018 sebelum mengikuti ujian pretest biokimia.
Metode: Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif analitik dengan pendekatan secara cross sectional. Populasi penelitian sebanyak 128 mahasiswa dan teknik pengambilan sampel dilakukan menggunakan purposive sampling. Pengukuran tingkat kecemasan menggunakan Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, dan pengukuran tekanan darah menggunakan Sphygmomanometer.
Hasil: Hasil penelitian didapatkan ialah tingkat kecemasan yang paling banyak yaitu kecemasan ringan sebanyak 93 orang (73%). Tekanan darah yang paling banyak yaitu pre hipertensi 76 orang (59%). Berdasarkan hasil uji Spearman sebesar 0,005, hal ini berarti terdapat hubungan antara tingkat kecemasan dan tekanan darah pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Tadulako angkatan 2018 sebelum mengikuti ujian pretest biokimia.
Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan antara tingkat kecemasan dan tekanan darah pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Tadulako angkatan 2018 sebelum mengikuti ujian pretest biokimia.
Kata Kunci: Kecemasan, Tekanan Darah.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Anxiety is a response that can interfere with life, both in quality and quantity. Anxiety can cause physiological symptoms (trembling, sweating, increased heart rate) and psychological symptoms (panic, tension, confusion). Blood pressure is the pressure produced by blood against blood vessels. Blood pressure can be affected by anxiety, because anxiety can stimulate the autonomic nervous system which can increase blood pressure, heart rate and respiration.
Objective : To find out the correlation between anxiety and students of faculty of medicine, tadulako university class of 2018 before taking biochemical pretest.
Method: this is an analytical descriptive research with cross sectional approach. The research population consists of 128 students and sampling was done by purposive sampling. The measurement of anxiety level was done by Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, and the blood pressure level by Sphygmomanometer.
Results: The results of the study showed that the mean anxiety level was mild anxiety with 93 respondents. (73%). The mean blood pressure is pre hypertension with 76 respondents (59%). Based on the Spearman test results of 0.005, this means that there is a relationship between anxiety and blood pressure levels in students of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Tadulako 2018 before taking the pretest biochemistry test.
Conclusion: There is a relationship between anxiety and blood pressure levels in students of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Tadulako 2018 before taking the pretest biochemistry test.
Keywords: Anxiety, Blood Pressure.
