Tỉ lệ stress ở học sinh trung học phổ thông Lê Thánh Tôn thành phố Hồ Chí Minh và các yếu tố liên quan

Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of stress and its associated factors among students at Le Thanh Ton High School, Ho Chi Minh City, in 2023. A cross-sectional design was employed involving 494 students, and data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. The associations between stress and related factors were analyzed using a multivariable Poisson regression model. The results showed that 31.2% of students experienced stress, and the prevalence of stress increased across grade levels, higher among 12th-grade students compared with 10th-grade students (PR = 1.47; 95% CI: 1.06 – 2.02). Additionally, students who were frequently anxious about financial issues, had poor relationships with family members, or did not participate in extracurricular activities were more likely to exhibit stress. Diversifying and encouraging participation in extracurricular activities, along with maintaining a supportive environment from family and school, may contribute to reducing the prevalence of stress among students.
