“…[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]30 A limitation of other reviewed stress scales for health professions students was a sole focus on academic stress, lack of inclusion of personal issues or reactions to stressful situations, and poor applicability to broader settings and stress after graduation. The Student-Life Stress Inventory 38 is an instrument that was used in the one published study of pharmacy students. 19 It was not used in this study because of its 51-item length.…”

Objectives. To examine stress and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among third-year doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) students. Methods. Stress and HRQOL were determined using Perceived Stress and SF-12 HRQOL survey instruments. A questionnaire was administered to determine factors students believed produced and eliminated stress. Results. Eighty percent of third-year students participated (n5109) in this pilot study. Mental HRQOL scores were significantly below US mean score for individuals aged 20-34 years (p,0.0001). As stress increased, mental HRQOL decreased and a significant negative correlation was found between the 2 measures (p,0.001). Family and relationships, examinations and scheduling, outside-of-class assignments, and finances were the most common stress triggers reported by students, while exercising, spending time with friends/family, sleeping, watching TV, and drinking alcohol were the most commonly reported stress-alleviating activities. Conclusion. Third-year PharmD students reported relatively high levels of stress and low mental HRQOL. Students employed mostly positive, but some negative, lifestyle choices to alleviate stress. Further investigation into the effectiveness of students' coping strategies is needed.

“…The last years have seen an increasing number of students (Lane, 2010), and students' stress extends at larger scale: it has become a phenomenon that needs to be managed by universities through specialised departments. Stress responses cover a wide range such as affective, behavioural, psychological and cognitive responses (Lakaev, 2009), physical and emotional reactions, and cognitive evaluations (Gadzella, 1994).…”

This paper is based on the responses from the undergraduate students at Faculty of Agriculture (Banat University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Romania). This research investigated the level of stress associated with assessment during winter examination session. Relationships between I-E Locus of Control and level of stress, were explored. Four demographic variable were used Age, Environment, Gender, Year of Study. A total of 83 students participated voluntary in this research, asking them to accept to be part of an interventional program "Stress Management", if the level of stress is high. Database were obtained through two questionnaire: Rotter's Locus of Control Scale (29 items) and Cohen-Williamson's Perceived Stress Scale (14 items). The results, sustain that there is a statistically significant correlation between level of stress and I-E Locus of Control, but contrary to study in the field, the level of stress during assessment, was low to medium. This results was an obstacle in implementing a training program for stress management. The research present correlation between each of four demographic variable, and level of stress, and I-E Locus of Control.

“…Some studies show that women rate their stress much higher than men (Cahir & Morris 1991;Brougham et al 2009) and experience more stress compared to their male peers (Gadzella 1991). However, one particular study on graduate social worker students finds no major difference in stress levels between genders (Munson 1984).…”
