Abstract

Objective: To assess anxiety levels among 1^st and 2^nd year MBBS and 1^st year BDS students in oral examinations of anatomy and physiology and to compare the anxiety scores among students of 1^st and 2^nd year MBBS and 1^st year BDS.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 231 undergraduate (MBBS and BDS) students of University from Karachi durning December 2022 to May 2023. Westside anxiety scale was used to assess anxiety levels in students and the scores were compared with oral examination scores using One-way analysis of variance.

Results: Extremely high levels of anxiety was noted in relation to oral examination of Anatomy with a mean score of 25±3.801 while a mean of 30.00±5.170 was noted in Physiology in BDS students. However, significant results were observed on comparing Anatomy and Physiology oral examination scores among 1^st and 2^nd year students.

Conclusion: In summary higher levels of test anxiety, especially for oral examinations was observed in MBBS students as compared to BDS students. It was also observed that anxiety levels were much higher for Anatomy oral examinations as compared to those for Physiology.

焦虑与解剖学和生理学口试成绩有关吗？对临床前 MBBS 和 BDS 学生的研究。

目的评估医学学士（MBBS）一年级、二年级和医学博士（BDS）一年级学生在解剖学和生理学口试中的焦虑水平，并比较医学学士（MBBS）一年级、二年级和医学博士（BDS）一年级学生的焦虑得分：这项横断面研究的对象是卡拉奇大学的 231 名本科生（MBBS 和 BDS），时间为 2022 年 12 月至 2023 年 5 月。采用韦斯特赛德焦虑量表评估学生的焦虑水平，并通过单因素方差分析将得分与口试得分进行比较：结果：解剖学口试的学生焦虑程度极高，平均得分为 25±3.801，而生理学口试的学生焦虑程度平均为 30.00±5.170。然而，在比较一年级和二年级学生的解剖学和生理学口试成绩时，观察到了明显的结果：总之，与医学博士学生相比，医学学士学生的考试焦虑程度较高，尤其是口试。此外，还观察到解剖学口试的焦虑程度远高于生理学口试。
