Abstract-Anxiety is form of psychological condition that can cause serious harm to human mind and overall well being. Today's stressful and highly demanding work setting has intensified the pressure and expectations felt by the professionals in Malaysia. The intensity of stress may affect general safety, health and even lifestyles or relationships of a normally working persons. There are some people who turn to God and religion as alternative to heal or cope with their psychological discomfort. Thus, this study was conducted to discuss the level of anxiety and other psychological discomforts experienced by group of Muslim working people in several sectors and examined how God consciousness and religiosity could influence as a mechanism to control their anxiety. The data was collected through random sampling of 38 working citizens of Malaysia from several working sectors. This study utilised two main instruments to measure the outcome: first, 'Depression, Anxiety and Stress scale' or 'DASS' to gauge the level of anxiety and 'Brief Religious Coping' (BRCOPE) to investigate religious coping performed by respondents in dealing with their anxiety.

“…Thus, medical students experience higher levels of stress during the course of their training, and this can lead to depression and even suicide (Calear & Christensen, 2010;Tempski et al, 2012). The high prevalence of mental disorders experienced by medical students has been reported worldwide including 30-63% in the USA and Europe (Abdel Wahed & Hassan, 2017;Saeed, Bahnassy, Al-Hamdan, Almudhaibery & Alyahya, 2016), 45-67% in the Middle East, and 21-60% in Australia and Asian countries such as China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, and Korea (Aktekin et al, 2001;Amrai, Zalani, Arfai & Sharifian, 2011;Castaldelli-Maia et al, 2012;Dyrbye, Thomas & Shanafelt, 2005;Morrison & Kirby, 2010;Toews et al, 1997;Zeldow, Clark, Daugherty & Eckenfels, 1985). Amongst medical students, stress is a normal part of medical education and can also be a motivator for certain individuals, but not all students can cope with the inordinate stress that is involved in medial training.…”

Inappropriate coping strategies may be key factors that have contributed to a consistently high prevalence of stress and mental disorders that have been reported worldwide, particularly in resourcelimited countries. Thus, one aim of this paper is to estimate the prevalence of these inconstructive strategies, and explore more positive coping strategies through observation of undergraduate medical students in Vietnam. The methodology that has been employed for this project has been a cross-sectional analysis that was conducted on 411 first year medical students at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in the cities of Ho Chi Minh and Can Tho who have shown signs of stress indicative of low mental well-being-that being a WHO-5 score of 13 or under or an answer of 0 to 1 to any of the five items of a WHO-5 mental disagnstic test. Participants completed a self-report questionnaire including a depression anxiety stress scale and a coping strategies inventory scale. The results show a prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress that were identified in 51.6%, 70.3% and 49.9% of students respectively. Problem solving was impacted mostly by the failure of coping strategies, and subsequent failures in cognitive restructuring. Students who had mental disorders were more likely to engage in negative coping strategies such as self-criticism, and were less likely to choose positive coping strategies such as expressions of emotion and problem solving. Medical students face a wide range of stressful situations, and the findings of these particular students suggest that there is a failure of coping strategies to overcome these stressful occurences. The findings indicate an urgent need to develop stress management programs and training workshops to build up early preventive mental health services at medical schools and to improve student support systems.
