“…The findings of the present study are consistent with those of many other authors who report high levels of stress among medical students at the beginning of the program (Eva et al, 2015;Tavolacci et al, 2013;Verdonk, Rantzsch, de Vries, & Houkes, 2014). The stress questionnaire applied herein found a predominance of students in the resistance phase at both universities, a phase which is characterized as the extension of the alert phase.…”

Stress is a psychological change that is becoming ever more frequent among medical school students than that of the general population, and these stress levels may affect academic performance. When the individual learning style does not fit into the method used by the student's university, the clash may become another stress factor. We evaluated preferred learning styles (Honey-Alonso Learning Styles Questionnaire) and stress levels (Lipp Inventory of Stress Symptoms for Adults) among medical students from two universities in the state of São Paulo that apply different teaching methods. The results showed that and the majority of the students were found to exhibit the reflexive learning style at both schools (60.4% at UNOESTE and 32.7% in FACERES) and high stress levels overall among the students (68.2% at UNOESTE and 74.0% at FACERES) in the resistance phase (81%), and there was a predominance of psychological symptoms of stress over physical symptoms at both universities (75.86% of students at UNOESTE and 86.48% at FACERES). Female students were found to exhibit higher stress levels than their male counterparts (72% and 55%, respectively). However, we didn´t find any statistical association between stress level and learning style. This is the first study to compare stress levels, learning styles, and teaching methodologies at two different medical schools.

“…Well prepared teachers in class and their good communication skills with patients, encourages medical students to participate in class, learning empathy and having good friends in college were identified as the positive environment (mean scores above 3) in the college (Table 4). Whereas, eight items scored below 2 and two of these were even ≤1.5 (item 9 and 25) (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21) 269 (64.7) Very good socially (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28) 19 (4.6) indicating causes of concern. The students perceived emphasis over authentic learning and teacher-centered teaching as problem areas.…”

“…25 Although a multi-center Bangladeshi study revealed that Bangladeshi medical students suffers from stress. 26 But stress is not actually unique in Bangladesh also exist in many other countries.

“…The lowest scores were given to the support system, burdensome course content, and factual learning; thus, a curriculum that includes more problem-based learning and structured teaching with specific curricular objectives might improve the learning environment for students. 26 Several problem areas were identified in the sub-scale of students' perception of atmosphere, indicating an atmosphere that is stressful and less enjoyable. In the students' social self-perception subscale, the study group agreed they had problems with the support systems available for those who get stressed.…”

Background:The educational environment is an important determining factor of an effective curriculum. An enriched learning environment can lead to increased satisfaction, achievement and success as a practitioner. The educational environment has been defined as "environment experienced or perceived by the students as well as by the teachers" . Learning environment research seeks to assess the students' perceptions of their environment and can guide medical teachers to introspect, devise, and incorporate the best learning strategy for the improvement of the educational environment. The recent concern to enhance quality assessment procedures in the health professions, and institutions have led to renewed interest in students' perceptions of the educational environment. The aim of this study is to evaluate, by way of students' perceptions, the overall education environment, as well as, other aspects of the educational environment of Ibrahim Medical College, Bangladesh. Methods: This crosssectional survey was conducted among the medical students in the year 2015, who were enrolled in the undergraduate MBBS program. DREEM questionnaire was used for data collection. The data was later regrouped according to the five domains. SPSS, IBM 20 has been used for data analysis. Results: Among the 416 student participants, 277 were female (67%), and 139 were male (33%). Comparison of the mean scores of pooled total and 4 sub-scales revealed no significant difference between genders, whereas in Students' Academic Self-Perceptions scale average rating for a male was found statistically significantly higher (p<0.05). Conclusion: This study suggests that students, in general, hold positive perceptions of their course environment. These results can serve as a baseline for a longitudinal quality assessment of pupils' perceptions of the college.

“…Afterward, it will be much better to produce highly professional and committed medical doctor to start EIs in early days of the medical school [31][32][33][120][121][122][123][124]. Nonetheless, medical educationist must need remember not to increase stress among the undergraduate medical students as there are already of much academic load and stress [125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132]. It is as well recommended to promote rigorous and stern regulatory measures and long-term policy for overuse and irrational use of antimicrobials.…”

The widespread accessibility of antimicrobials transformed the path of olden times. Many infections beforehand not curable found treatment, for example, tuberculosis. Scientist, common people thought once that humankind has able conquered microbial diseases. Nonetheless, irrational and unnecessary use antimicrobials create resistant microbes throughout the universe. Moreover, the development new antimicrobials have slowed down, particularly for those diseases of developing countries who have very poor financial ability to pay the research overhead of the inventor. Thereafter, currently available antimicrobials antimicrobials are loosing their efficacy and spectrum everyday against resistant microbes. Subsequently, once those diseases were treatable with no antimicrobials or very low profile agents now need the higher form of antimicrobials even multiple agents. As such health care cost is increasing every day which is beyond the economic ability of common people of anywhere of the world. All these 10 developing countries very frequently were observed that overuse and irrational use of antimicrobials. Researchers of these developing countries opined that answer remains in continuing medical education for all health-related stakeholders and appropriate policy to stop irrational prescribing, and promote prudent and rational prescribing and use of medicine, including antimicrobials.
