Abstract

Introduction: Medical and dental students are subjected to high level of stress whether academic, social or health related. Stress in manifested as fatigue, tension, dizziness, inability to fall asleep, irritation, anxiety, suicidal thoughts thereby degrading their quality of life. Therefore, this study was conducted with an objective of assessing perceived stress, stressors and the severity of the stressors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 272 medical and dental students of College of Medical Sciences. Perceived Stress Score (PSS) scale with 10 items questions was used for identifying perceived stress. 32 potential stressors whose severity was rated using Likert scale using score 1 for never/rarely, score 2 for sometimes and score 3 for often/always was used. Ethical clearance was obtained from College of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital - Institutional Review Committee.Results: Using mean of PSS score, it was found that 74.26% of the students were stressed. Statistically significant difference was found between gender and stress score. The most frequently occurring academic stressors was reported to be performance in examination (37.9%). Similarly, the most commonly occurring psycho-social stressors was found to be relation with opposite sex (44.5%) which covered the greatest percentage among all stressors.Conclusions: A large proportion of students in both dental and medical studies are experiencing stress especially on academic and psycho-social aspects. All the stressors must be addressed and students should be taught stress management techniques.

Chitwan医学院医科和牙科学生的压力感知来源及相关压力源
导读:医学和牙科专业的学生承受着很高的压力,无论是学术、社会还是健康方面。压力表现为疲劳、紧张、头晕、无法入睡、烦躁、焦虑、自杀念头,从而降低了他们的生活质量。因此,本研究的目的是评估感知压力,压力源和压力源的严重程度。方法:采用横断面调查方法,对272名医学院医学和牙科专业学生进行调查。采用感知压力评分(PSS)量表对感知压力进行识别。采用李克特量表对32个潜在压力源的严重程度进行评分,1分为从不/很少,2分为有时,3分为经常/总是。获得医学学院教学医院-机构审查委员会的伦理许可。结果:利用PSS评分的平均值,发现74.26%的学生有压力。性别与压力得分之间存在统计学差异。最常见的学业压力源是考试成绩(37.9%)。同样,最常见的社会心理压力源是异性(44.5%),在所有压力源中所占的比例最大。结论:很大一部分牙科和医学专业的学生都面临着压力,尤其是在学术和心理社会方面。所有的压力源都必须解决,学生应该学习压力管理技巧。
