A dental student in his/her life goes through several academic stresses. Mild stress may be beneficial in cognitive tasks and performance, while persistently high stress may lead to anxiety and depression. Thus, the aim is to compare the stress levels in students appearing for previva and postviva during university examinations.
The study was carried out on 70 3 year Bachelor of Dental Surgery students who were appearing for their university practical examination. Heart rate, oxygen saturation and stress levels were measured using Android S-HEALTH software. The data were compared and tabulated. Results obtained were statistically analyzed using paired ""-test.
Heart rate, oxygen saturation and stress levels were statistically high in previva of all the students.
It can be concluded that examination is a situational stress resulting in anxiety due to increased levels of plasma cortisol reflected by an increased heart rate, oxygen saturation and stress levels. It is important for students to use stress-reducing measures or to reduce them as much as possible to avoid factors that can affect themselves and their patients in stressful way.
牙科专业学生在其学习生涯中会经历多种学业压力。轻度压力可能有益于认知任务和表现，而持续的高压力可能导致焦虑和抑郁。因此，本研究旨在比较大学考试期间口试前和口试后学生的压力水平。
本研究对70名即将参加大学实践考试的三年制口腔医学专业学生进行。使用安卓S健康软件测量心率、血氧饱和度和压力水平。对数据进行比较并制成表格。所得结果采用配对t检验进行统计学分析。
所有学生口试前的心率、血氧饱和度和压力水平在统计学上均较高。
可以得出结论，考试是一种情境性压力，由于心率、血氧饱和度和压力水平升高反映出血浆皮质醇水平升高，从而导致焦虑。学生采取减压措施或尽可能减轻压力很重要，以避免可能以压力方式影响自身及患者的因素。
