Thực trạng và các yếu tố liên quan đến stress trong sinh viên y khoa tại Trường Đại học Y Dược Cần Thơ năm 2024

Abstract

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 411 medical students at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy to assess the prevalence of stress and associated factors. The study examined demographic characteristics, health behaviors, academic performance, and stress levels, as measured by The Student Stress Inventory. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software, with a p-value of < 0.05 considered statistically significant. The results revealed that 68.4% of students experienced mild stress, while 31.6% reported severe stress. Stress was significantly associated with factors such as difficulty balancing academic and personal relationships (OR = 6.5, p < 0.05), conflicts with family members (OR = 2.4, p < 0.05), and competitive pressure from classmates (OR = 2.1, p < 0.05). While stress levels were predominantly mild, the long-term consequences may still be significant. These findings highlight the need for interventions to address stress and enhance the students’ quality of life and academic performance.
