Maths anxiety is defined as a feeling of tension and apprehension that interferes with maths performance ability, the manipulation of numbers and the solving of mathematical problems in a wide variety of ordinary life and academic situations. Our aim was to identify the facilitators and barriers of maths anxiety in university students. A scoping review methodology was used in this study. A search of databases including: Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Embase, Scopus, PsycInfo, Medline, Education Resources Information Centre, Google Scholar and grey literature. Articles were included if they addressed the maths anxiety concept, identified barriers and facilitators of maths anxiety, had a study population comprised of university students and were in Arabic or English languages. After duplicate removal and applying the inclusion criteria, 10 articles were included in this study. Maths anxiety is an issue that effects many disciplines across multiple countries and sectors. The following themes emerged from the included papers: gender, self-awareness, numerical ability, and learning difficulty. The pattern in which gender impacts maths anxiety differs across countries and disciplines. There was a significant positive relationship between students’ maths self-efficacy and maths performance and between maths self-efficacy, drug calculation self-efficacy and drug calculation performance. Maths anxiety is an issue that effects many disciplines across multiple countries and sectors. Developing anxiety toward maths might be affected by gender; females are more prone to maths anxiety than males. Maths confidence, maths values and self-efficacy are related to self-awareness. Improving these concepts could end up with overcoming maths anxiety and improving performance.

数学焦虑对大学生有什么影响？

数学焦虑被定义为一种紧张和忧虑的感觉，会干扰日常生活和学术情境中的数学表现能力、数字处理和数学问题的解决。我们的目的是确定大学生数学焦虑的促进因素和障碍。本研究使用了范围界定审查方法。数据库检索包括：护理和联合健康文献累积索引、Embase、Scopus、PsycInfo、Medline、教育资源信息中心、谷歌学术和灰色文献。如果文章涉及数学焦虑的概念，确定了数学焦虑的障碍和促进因素，研究人群由大学生组成，并且使用阿拉伯语或英语，则文章将被纳入。经过重复去除和应用纳入标准后，本研究纳入了 10 篇文章。数学焦虑是一个影响多个国家和部门的许多学科的问题。纳入的论文中出现了以下主题：性别、自我意识、数学能力和学习困难。性别影响数学焦虑的模式因国家和学科的不同而不同。学生数学自我效能感与数学成绩之间、数学自我效能感、药物计算自我效能感与药物计算成绩之间均呈显着正相关。数学焦虑是一个影响多个国家和部门的许多学科的问题。对数学的焦虑可能会受到性别的影响；女性比男性更容易出现数学焦虑。数学信心、数学价值观和自我效能感与自我意识有关。改进这些概念最终可能会克服数学焦虑并提高表现。
