“…While a certain amount of stress can enhance learning (Linn & Zeppa, 1984), excessive stress can negatively impact cognitive functioning and learning by decreasing attention (Smith, 1990), reducing concentration (Askenasy & Lewin, 1996;Saipanish, 2003;Smith, 1990;Collins & Foote, 2005), impinging on decision-making (Klein, 1996) and reducing students' ability to establish good relationships with patients (Shapiro, Shapiro, & Schwartz, 2000). In addition, stress can negatively impact physical (e.g.…”

While existing literature suggests that professional students (e.g., medical, dental, law, nursing, etc.) experience high levels of stress and depression, the experiences of veterinary medical students have been less well examined. The purpose of this study was to explore the levels of stress and depression among veterinary medical students and to examine the relationship between these variables. Study participants were 1,245 veterinary medical students from North America. The findings provide support for the assertion that veterinary medical students experience high levels of stress and depression. Results also indicated that there is a correlation between stress and depression for veterinary medical students and that female students experience higher levels of stress and depression than their male counterparts.

“…During this conflict, over 4500 rockets were launched at Israel and 70% of the Israeli population was in the rocket range. People may develop acute insomnia after a variety of traumatic events (Sinha, ), for example the 9/11 attacks (Galea et al, ), and exposure to missile attacks (Askenasy & Lewin, ). Thus, our first prediction is that individuals with clinical ASD symptom levels resulting from this conflict would report more disturbed sleep than individuals with sub‐clinical ASD symptoms.…”

Trauma‐Related Context Increases Sleep Disturbances in People with Acute Stress Disorder Symptoms

In this study, we addressed how sleep is related to acute stress disorder (ASD) symptoms, and how the presence of a trauma related-context moderates this relationship. This study (N = 140) was carried out during the 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict, during which 70% of Israelis were exposed to missile attacks. Findings show that participants with clinical ASD symptom levels reported more sleep disturbances than participants without clinical ASD symptom levels. More critically, this effect was only evident among respondents who had a reinforced security room in their houses. While reinforced security rooms offer protection against indirect missile damage, their relevance is salient in negative traumatic situations, which individuals with a clinical level of ASD are more sensitive to. Conversely, in houses without a reinforced security room, there was no difference in subjective sleep reports between individuals with or without clinical levels of ASD symptoms. Results are discussed in reference to trauma being activated by context and the ensuing effects on sleep. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed.
