Physical therapy students will be exposed to stressors across clinical practice. The aggregate stress conveys to the new behavioral responses occur through the clinical training. The study aimed to examine the stress sources faced by physical therapy students and behaviors of coping used in their clinical practice. A cross-section study with a sample of 83 physical therapy students. Data were collected through Perceived Stress Scale and Coping Behavioral Inventory Scale. The mean of perceived stress by the respondents was 66.3 (standard deviation [SD] = 17.01) and the coping behaviors mean was 35.15 (SD = 9.67). The most common type of factor stressors perceived was looking for care of patients (M = 16.6 ± 4.4) and the most common coping behavior was problem solving (M = 13.8±6.6). The study confirmed that the perceived stress and coping behaviors of physical therapy students were moderate in clinical practice. Stress from the care of patients is the greatest stressful, and problem solving was the greatest coping.
物理治疗专业的学生将在临床实践中接触到各种压力源。这些压力源会通过临床培训传递给学生，使他们产生新的行为反应。本研究旨在探讨物理治疗专业学生在临床实践中面临的压力源和应对行为。本研究采用横断面研究设计，对 83 名物理治疗专业学生进行了抽样调查。通过感知压力量表和应对行为量表收集数据。被调查者感知到的平均压力为 66.3（标准差[SD] = 17.01），应对行为的平均得分为 35.15（SD = 9.67）。被调查者感知到的最常见的压力源是寻找患者的护理（M = 16.6 ± 4.4），最常见的应对行为是解决问题（M = 13.8±6.6）。研究证实，物理治疗专业学生在临床实践中的感知压力和应对行为处于中等水平。来自患者护理的压力是最大的压力源，而解决问题是最大的应对方式。
