Effect of stress on academic performance in medical students - A cross sectional study

Stress is a common phenomenon that affects individual productivity through improving individual productivity ("You Stress") or decreasing ("Pain"). It is widely recognized that medical fraternity is weak against tremendous pressure. Medical student is a new student - Medical undergraduate students as well. In our research, we investigated the influence of pressure on medical students on the academic achievement and propose coping mechanism. First of all, we investigate general stressors of medical students, then investigate the correlation between stress, gender, attendance rate and academic performance. General stressors and stress levels of 114 medical school students were evaluated using semistructured Performa and stress scale. Results were compared and correlated with various variables such as attendance rate, demographic factors, mean markers, and Pearson correlation coefficients were used for statistical correlation between different variables. Stress is more suitable for women than men. Compared to boys' students, the high attendance rate of female medical students and the improvement of daily performance are related to more stress. Therefore, pressure of medical students should be recognized and should be attempted to mitigate it.

Previous studies investigated the relevance between medical stress students' academic achievement (using other stress measurement tools) and the results were similar. Linn and Zeppa pointed out that the quality of stress is important for relevance to academic performance. Students with less stress will aggravate academic performance, but favorable stress has no negative correlation with grades. Stewart et al. In summary, the stress level reported during preclinical education predicted the medical performance of the first two years. However, if statistical control over the previous performance of the medical department, the predicted value of the stress on the performance will decrease. Sohail combines quantitative methods that combine the stress and performance of freshman students with detailed interviews and link stressors and their associated coping strategies

Background Chronic stress of medical students affects student academic performance, leading to depression, drug use and suicide. However, Ethiopia lacks such research evidence. Objective Our aim is to evaluate the prevalence and severity of stress, and the relationship between medical students' use of teaching materials and academic achievement. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 329 medical students at Jima University. Data were collected using general health questionnaire (GHQ - 12), medical student stress questionnaire (MSSQ - 20) and drug abuse monitoring test (DAST). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. Logistic regression analysis and student test were applied. As a result, the average age of respondents was 23.02 years (SD = 074). Current stress prevalence rate is 52.4%. An academically relevant stress factor is the main cause of the stress of 281 (88.6%) students. A conclusion

Medical students are undergoing tremendous pressure. Insufficient stress and poor academic performance can become part of a vicious circle. In order to combat this cycle, it is important to better understand the relationship between stress and performance in medical education. The most comprehensive stress questionnaire designed for medical school is School Stress Equipment (PMSS) of School of Perception and Medicine. It addresses a wide range of stress factors such as workload, competition, social isolation, financial concerns. Our aim is to investigate the relationship between undergraduate students' medical stress and academic achievement.
