Introdução: A dependência emocional e os sentimentos de solidão emergiram como áreas de estudo críticas, refletindo os desafios enfrentados pela sociedade contemporânea e pela educação superior.
Objetivo: Analisar a relação entre a dependência emocional e os sentimentos de solidão em estudantes de medicina.
Métodos: O estudo utilizou uma abordagem quantitativa, com desenho não experimental e transversal. Participaram 224 estudantes de medicina, com idades entre 17 e 35 anos, selecionados por meio de amostragem não probabilística. Foram utilizados dois instrumentos: o Questionário de Dependência Emocional (QDE) e a Escala de Solidão de De Jong Gierveld.
Resultados: Não foi encontrada uma correlação significativa entre a dependência emocional e os sentimentos de solidão (p = .382, Rho = .059). 61,61% apresentaram dependência emocional média e 74,55% relataram sentimentos de solidão moderados, e não foram identificadas relações entre as dimensões das variáveis. As mulheres mostraram maior suscetibilidade a se sentirem sozinhas do que os homens, mas a dependência emocional foi similar em ambos.
Conclusão: Embora os achados gerais não apoiem uma relação significativa entre a dependência emocional e a solidão, esses resultados sugerem que os sentimentos de solidão e a dependência emocional podem operar de maneira independente nessa população, com exceções em contextos específicos. Deve-se prestar atenção às mulheres em questões de solidão na área da psicologia.
