Background:The COVID-19 pandemic has led to various impacts on public health, one of which is the mental health of medical students who are recognized as an at-risk group for developing anxiety disorders due to the teaching and learning system that has changed dramatically. This study aimed to assess the relationship between teaching and learning-related stressor (TLRS) and their anxiety levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study. The population was medical students at the Faculty of Medicine, UIN, Jakarta, during September-October 2021. Sampling was carried out using purposive sampling. The dependent variable was anxiety levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. The independent variable was teaching and learning-related stressor based on Medical Student Stressor Questionnaire (MSSQ) instrument. The data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed by Cox proportional regression.
Results:The results revealed that 50.4% of medical students experienced anxiety because of teaching and learning stressor, but the data shows a non-significant difference when controlled with other stressor variables (Adjusted PR= 1.485; 95% CI= 0.71 to 2.97; p= 0.300).
Conclusion:There is no significant relationship between teaching and learning-related stressor and anxiety level among Medical Students during COVID-19 pandemic.
