“…This is because dental students must face the usual stress of university studies in addition to the stress caused by dental practice 3 . Consequently, it is thought that this group of students suffer more stress than the rest of the population 4 . Comparatively, dental students suffer more stress than medical students 2,5,6 .…”

Dental students suffer greater stress than the rest of the university population. In general, most health students seek little assistance to help them cope with stress. The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of therapies to manage stress in Chilean clinical dental students. A cross-sectional study was conducted nationwide; this report is a secondary data analysis. The study population was dental students in clinical years (4 th and 5 th ) of 5 Chilean dental schools: Antofagasta, Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, Concepción, and La Frontera. This paper reports the use of therapies for stress management during the past six months considering four options: medical/psychiatric, psychological, self-medication and alternative. Tabulation and analysis were done in STATA 10/SE. Three hundred thirty-seven students were surveyed, 54.01% were men and 64.99% were in fourth year, with an average age of 22.94±2.04. The 48.07% of students have used any of the four types of therapies; women and fourth-year students use more any form of therapy with 53.30% (p=.037) and 48.86% (p=.694), respectively, than men and fifth year students. About half of the students have used some form of therapy to manage stress in the last six months; of the students that received therapy, the percentage of women was significantly higher.

“…3 Dental students suffer more stress than the rest of the population. 4 It has been reported that the largest increases of stress levels in dental students are associated with transitions between basic science, the preclinical level, and the clinical level, 5 with the most significant increase of stress starting in the clinical years. 6 Other conditions associated with stress in this population are depression, anxiety, substance abuse, decreased work efficiency, and burnout syndrome.…”

Abstract:Objective: Dental students are particularly affected by stress, which can lead to 'burnout syndrome' by association with other psychological factors. The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of perceived stress, coping strategies, and vocational satisfaction on the severity of burnout in Chilean dental students in the clinical years. Method: The study population was comprised of clinical dental students of five Chilean dental schools. The following variables were considered: age, gender, year of study, burnout, coping strategies, perceived stress, and vocational satisfaction. Statistical analysis included descriptive measures, correlation tests, and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results: The final sample included 244 students. Three (1.23%) students did not have burnout in any of its factors and 38 (15.57%) had severe levels in all three factors. There was a statistically significant greater 'emotional exhaustion' in 4 th year students.There was a statistically significant correlation of the three factors of burnout with 'social withdrawal' coping strategy, high levels of perceived stress, and low levels of present and future vocational satisfaction. Conclusion: Most students presented moderate and high levels of burnout. This situation is associated with dysfunctional coping strategies, high levels of perceived stress, and low levels of present and future vocational satisfaction.

“…Yoga is an ancient science established in India which gives the practitioner not only a sound body but also a sound mindand has shown to have effects on most physiological systems of the body. 7,8 It is known to modulate autonomic output and helps achieve and maintain autonomic balance between two components (sympathetic and parasympathetic) of autonomic nervous system and stress. 9 This study is designed to demonstrate the presence of stress, anxiety in first year medical students and associated with altered heart variability, and the role of yoga as an effective intervention to reduce stress, anxiety and improve HRV.…”

Introduction: Medical students are exposed to various stresses, which is known to affect cardiovascular system which can be assessed by noting the heart rate variability (HRV). Aims: To assess the anxiety, stress and HRV in first year medical students and study the effect of one month integrated yoga intervention on them. Materials and Methods: Spielberger state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI) and Perceived stress scale (PSS) were administered to 150 first year medical students. 60 students with a high anxiety and stress score were selected on the basis of specific inclusion and exclusion criteria and divided into study and control groups. A baseline HRV was documented on all 60 students. 30 students in the study group underwent supervised yoga intervention for one month. Post interventional assessments of anxiety, stress and HRV were done in both groups (study and control group). Paired t test was used to determine the statistical difference in pre and post interventions and independent t test was used to determine the statistical difference between control and study groups. Results: There was significant decrease in anxiety state and perceived stress with yoga intervention. Heart rate variability revealed that SDNN, RMSSD, Mean HR were significantly higher and LF, LF/HF ratio were significantly reduced after one month practice of yoga showing a shift towards parasympathetic dominance. Conclusions: Integrated yoga intervention showed significantly decreases in state anxiety and perceived stress, and a shift towards parasympathetic dominance in heart rate variability. However, the anxiety trait didn't show significant improvement.
