“…Students who have financial support exhibited lower anxiety prevalence than students who did not receive any financial support. This is consistent with a study reported by Jones et al (2018).

Background Anxiety disorder is one of the most common mental health problems worldwide, including Malaysia. With the rising suicide rate nowadays, this issue has gained concern and attention from many, including experts and authorities globally. While average levels of anxiety motivate students to perform well in their studies, a high level of anxiety will significantly affect students' performance and self-esteem. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted at selected government and private universities throughout Malaysia. A total of 1851 students participated in this study. The students were asked to complete self-administered questionnaires, which include information such as socio-demographic, academic, and psychosocial characteristics. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) questionnaire was used to measure the prevalence of anxiety in this study. Chi-square analysis was conducted to find the relationship between the variables and anxiety, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the predictors. Results The response rate was 97.90%, where 1821 out of 1860 students participated in the study. The prevalence of anxiety in this study was 29%. The data revealed that race, residency, smoking status, alcohol consumption, sleeping quality, body mass index (BMI), academic year, the field of study, financial support for study and current living arrangement were found to be significantly associated with anxiety; with the academic year as the primary predictor. Conclusions Anxiety among university students in Malaysia is mainly impacted by the academic year. The findings highlight the current prevalence of anxiety among university students in Malaysia. The outcome of this study can serve as the evident baseline data and help with the development of specific interventions in addressing and managing the issue appropriately.

“…The increasing prevalence of mental health concerns, particularly anxiety, among students in higher education, including graduate students, is noteworthy (Burton & Baxter, 2019;Jones et al, 2018). Concern about academic performance appears to be the greatest source of stress for college students (Jones et al, 2018). We have observed similar trends among our students in recent years, with stress and anxiety significantly impacting students' overall well-being and performance both in the academic setting and during fieldwork.…”

The integrative seminar is an innovative teaching-learning approach that focuses on active learning and peer collaboration, characteristics that align with millennial learners' preferences. The use of integrative seminars has been reported by various health professions with positive outcomes. Course feedback survey data from the first cohort of occupational therapy students who participated in a new four-course integrative seminar series were analyzed. Findings suggest that the format of the courses was engaging for the learners. The students particularly valued the small class; the opportunities for peer collaboration; and the variety of active learning opportunities, including simulations. The students also indicated that the seminars helped them to integrate and apply their learning across the curriculum. In another survey completed near the end of their Level II fieldwork rotations, the students indicated that the seminars contributed to their readiness for fieldwork as well as to the development of their critical thinking, interpersonal skills, and professional identity. The findings from this analysis support the potential value of integrative seminars in occupational therapy education. Comments The authors report that they have no conflicts of interest to disclose.
