“…The stressors as well as the coping strategies, utilised by health care students, have also been well documented in recent years (Jacob, Itzchak & Raz 2013;Sabih, Siddiqui & Baber 2013;Sani et al 2012;Walsh et al 2010). Levels of stress in health care students have been reported to be so high that it could even be linked to psychological morbidity.…”

“…As these students will become future health care providers, it is important for institutions to teach them how to cope with stress themselves, as well how to treat stress in their future patients. 1 Medical, nursing, dental, pharmacy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy students have reported high levels of perceived stress. [1][2][3]10 Student stress often stems from academic load, classroom environment, faculty interaction, illness, and emotional concerns outside of the classroom or clinic.…”

“…1 Medical, nursing, dental, pharmacy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy students have reported high levels of perceived stress. [1][2][3]10 Student stress often stems from academic load, classroom environment, faculty interaction, illness, and emotional concerns outside of the classroom or clinic. Until recently, the literature on stress experienced by students in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has been scarce, but a recent study among chiropractic students indicated that students in their 4th year of doctoral study reported the highest levels of stress.…”

Objective: High levels of stress and fatigue are associated with decreased academic success, well-being, and quality of life. The objective of this research was to quantify levels of perceived stress and fatigue among chiropractic students to identify sources of and student coping mechanisms for perceived stress and fatigue and to identify the relationship between students' perceived stress and fatigue. Methods: A survey comprised of the Perceived Stress Scale, the Undergraduate Sources of Stress Survey, and the Piper Fatigue Scale was administered to chiropractic students in their 2nd, 5th, and 8th trimesters of doctoral study. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, 1-way analysis of variance, and linear correlation tests. Results: Students reported having moderate to high levels of stress and fatigue, with higher levels of stress and fatigue seen in women than in men. A nonsignificant difference among stress scores and a significant difference among fatigue scores were observed based on program term. Levels of stress predicted levels of fatigue, and stress was strongly correlated with psychological health, relationships with family members, mood, and need for learning accommodations. Fatigue was strongly correlated with psychological health, academic demands, and conflicts between studies and other activities. Conclusion: There are differences in the reporting of perceived stress and fatigue levels in this chiropractic student population based on gender. The correlation between fatigue and stress also suggests that measures that may alleviate one may likely affect the other.

“…El factor académico fue percibido como la fuente más importante de estrés de los estudiantes de los tres departamentos, a pesar de las diferencias en los programas de educación académica. Estos autores sugieren que se necesitan más estudios para generalizar estos resultados y permitir la comparación entre los estudiantes de la salud y las percepciones de estrés de otros estudiantes [14].…”

Introducción: La prevalencia de altos niveles de estrés, así como sus consecuencias está bien documentada entre los estudiantes de ciencias de la salud, y en particular en la odontología. Los altos niveles de estrés percibido entre los estudiantes de odontología se han asociado con síntomas físicos, trastornos psicológicos, agotamiento emocional y agotamiento profesional. Objetivo: identificar la prevalencia de estrés académico, los factores asociados y los niveles de presión arterial en estudiantes de pregrado de odontología de la Corporación Universitaria Núñez de Cartagena. Materiales y Métodos: estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, en 245 estudiantes de pregrado de odontología, a quienes se les aplico la versión en español del instrumento DES-30 Sp, adicionalmente se recolecto información sobre las condiciones sociodemográficos, socioeconómicas, elección de la profesión y niveles de presión arterial. El análisis estadístico se basó en un análisis descriptivo y bivariado de los datos. Resultados: de 245 estudiantes de pregrado de odontología, la mayoría eran de género femenino, edad promedio de 19.8 años de estrato socioeconómico bajo, el factor estresor más frecuente fue: “miedo a reprobar un curso o un año” y los niveles de presión arterial se encontraban dentro de los rangos normales. Conclusión: los resultados de este estudio permitirán diseñar estrategias que faciliten el desempeño académico de acuerdo con los factores estresores encontrados.
