The perceived stress and anxiety among medical students have bleak consequences on their academic performances, physical, and psychological wellbeing. However, there is a dearth of reliable epidemiological studies in Ethiopia on medical student's experience of stress and anxiety. Therefore, this study was aimed to determine the prevalence and identify factors associated with stress and anxiety among undergraduate medical students of Haramaya University, Eastern Ethiopia.
An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from May 13 to June 12, 2019 among 523 participants selected by simple random sampling technique. Data were collected by using structured questionarie through self-adminstered method. Data were entered by Epidata version 3.1 and analyzed using Stastical Package for Social Science(SPSS) version 22. Bivariableand multivariable logistic regression analysis were conducted to identify factors associated with anxiety and stress. Adjusted Odd Ratio (AOR) and 95% Confidence Interval(CI) was used to show the strength of association, and P-value of 0.05 was used to declare statistical significance.
The prevalence of stress was 44% (95% CI: 40.2%-48.2%) and anxiety was 48.9% (95% CI: 44.6%-53.3%) among undergraduate medical students of Haramaya University. Being female (AOR=1.90, 95% CI: 1.28-2.81) and living off-campus (AOR=1.75, 95% CI: 1.12-2.73) were factors significantly associated with both stress and anxiety. Whereas, alcohol use (AOR=2.26, 95% CI: 1.50-3.50) and smoking cigarette (AOR=3.50, 95% CI: 1.58-7.73) linked with stress. The poor psychosocial support (AOR=1.93, 95% CI: 1.20-3.20) was significantly associated with anxiety.
Substantially a higher level of stress and anxiety was reported. Being female and living off-campus were linked with both stress and anxiety. Where as, alcohol use and smoking cigarette were associated with stress and poor psychological support was significantly associated with anxiety.
医学生所感受到的压力和焦虑对他们的学业成绩、身心健康有着不良影响。然而，埃塞俄比亚缺乏关于医学生压力和焦虑体验的可靠流行病学研究。因此，本研究旨在确定埃塞俄比亚东部哈拉马亚大学本科医学生中压力和焦虑的患病率，并识别与之相关的因素。
2019年5月13日至6月12日，采用简单随机抽样技术选取523名参与者，开展了一项基于机构的横断面研究。通过自填式方法使用结构化问卷收集数据。数据录入Epidata 3.1版本，并使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）22.0版本进行分析。进行双变量和多变量逻辑回归分析以识别与焦虑和压力相关的因素。调整后的比值比（AOR）和95%置信区间（CI）用于显示关联强度，P值为0.05用于判定统计学显著性。
哈拉马亚大学本科医学生中压力的患病率为44%（95%CI：40.2%-
