Factors associated with the depression, anxiety and stress among High Medical School of Professional Studies students

Abstract

Objective. Objective of this research was to examine which factors were related to depression, anxiety and stress among nurses/technicians, professional studies students. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted among students of the High Medical School of Professional Studies in (p = 0,020; p = 0,001; p = 0,001), radnog statusa (p = 0,007; p = 0,020; p = 0,005), ukupan radni staž (p = 0,049; p = 0,051; p = 0,017), zatim osećaja zadovoljstva sobom kao studentom (p = 0,000; p = 0,021; p = 0,004). Postojala je statistički značajna razlika u prosečnim vrednostima stres skale u odnosu na motiv za upis u školu (F = 6,445; p < 0,05). Prosečne vrednosti stres skale bile su najveće kod ispitanika čiji je motiv bio obezbeđenje radnog mesta, a najniže kod ispitanika čiji je motiv bio napredovanje u struci.Zaključak. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na značaj ranog sagledavanja problema mentalnog zdravlja radi iznalaženja i razvijanja adekvatnih programa prevencije i promocije usmerenih ka unapređenju mentalnog zdravlja i kvaliteta života.

Perceived Stress, Depression, and Associated Factors among Undergraduate Health Science Students at Arsi University in 2019 in Oromia, Ethiopia

“…This finding is consistent with the results of studies of [21,27]. But it is inconsistent with the finding of [14,28,29]. In addition to this, as the age of students increases, perceived stress decreases that could be due to the increased maturity level and being more experienced as age increases.…”

When investigating depression and anxiety in undergraduate medical students timing of assessment is an important factor - a multicentre cross-sectional study

“…Unlike other studies we found no marked gender differences in respect of mean score or prevalence of raised levels of depression scores [13,18,19]. In respect of anxiety it is difficult to compare our findings with those of other studies of medical students since few studies have measured anxiety using HADS-A.Furthermore questions have been raised about the appropriateness of applying the same cut-offpoints as those used for depression to indicate raised levels of anxiety using HADS-A [42,43].…”

“…Evidence that female medical students display higher levels of depression and anxiety than their male counterparts is similarly mixed. Studies in many countries have reported higher levels of symptoms among female medical students compared to males [13,18]. For example female students in Serbia and Pakistan were found to record significantly higher levels of both depression and anxiety but gender differences for anxiety were more pronounced than those for depression [18,19].…”

By contrast, a study of Chinese medical students found a significantly higher proportion of male students had symptoms of depression compared to female students [12].…”

Level of Stress, Predisposing Factors and Status of Mental Health among Pharmacy Students of a Private University of Dhaka, Bangladesh: A Cross Sectional Study

“…It is reported that three of ten leading causes of disability in people between the ages of 15 to 44 are mental disorders [5]. Stressful events during educational period have significant negative influence on academic, professional, personal and social life [4] [6]. It is already proved in many research articles that mental health problems among students are increasing every year and students of higher education institutions are experiencing serious mental health problems at a greater rate than their peers who are not student [7].…”
