Final-year students studying in various health science institutes are usually very stressed about their studies so that they can complete their studies without any hurdles. This stress can lead to poor academic and professional results because psychological issues such as anxiety and depression are frequently overlooked and not treated. This study aimed to measure the prevalence of stress and also assess the level of stress symptoms among the final year students of health science institute in Bangladesh.
A prospective cross-sectional study involving 134 final-year students of Bangladesh Health Professions Institute (BHPI), which is a well-known health science institute in Bangladesh measured the prevalence of stress and assessed the level of stress symptoms using the Academic Stress Scale (ASS-40). Data was collected through face-to-face interviews and analysed using SPSS software 25.0. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data retrieved from the students. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to find any deep relation between the levels of stress symptoms of the students with their age.
The prevalence of stress symptoms among the 134 students was 68.60%. The scenario of having stress symptoms was higher among male students and factors like fear of failure (29.20%), followed by teacher-student relationship/teaching method (28.80%) with addressable factors including personal inadequacy (25.50%) working as a stressor for this students. A negligible association (p > 0.05) was found between the age and the level of stress of the students.
More than two-thirds of the students experienced stress symptoms during the final days in their institutions. This implies that the educational system, means of teaching, teaching materials, teachers as well as the services provided by the institutions cannot provide a conducive environment for effective learning as well as creating a secure future for the students as long as they can cope with the academic pressure. A student's educational career is being nipped in the bud due to the weak system of our education and institutional system.
在各类健康科学机构学习的最后一年学生通常对学业压力很大，以便能够毫无障碍地完成学业。这种压力可能导致学业和职业成绩不佳，因为焦虑和抑郁等心理问题经常被忽视且未得到治疗。本研究旨在测量压力的患病率，并评估孟加拉国健康科学机构最后一年学生的压力症状水平。
一项前瞻性横断面研究，涉及孟加拉国健康职业学院（BHPI）的134名最后一年学生，该学院是孟加拉国一所知名的健康科学机构，使用学业压力量表（ASS - 40）测量压力的患病率并评估压力症状水平。通过面对面访谈收集数据，并使用SPSS软件25.0进行分析。描述性和推断性统计用于分析从学生那里获取的数据。皮尔逊相关系数用于发现学生压力症状水平与其年龄之间的任何深层次关系。
134名学生中压力症状的患病率为68.60%。男生中出现压力症状的情况更高，像害怕失败（29.20%）等因素，其次是师生关系/教学方法（28.80%），可解决的因素包括个人能力不足（25.50%）是这些学生的压力源。在学生的年龄和压力水平之间发现了可忽略不计的关联（p＞0.05）。
超过三分之二的学生在机构学习的最后阶段经历了压力症状。这意味着教育系统、教学方式、教材、教师以及机构提供的服务，只要学生能够应对学业压力，就无法为有效学习以及为学生创造安全的未来提供有利环境。由于我们薄弱的教育和机构体系，学生的教育生涯在萌芽阶段就受到了阻碍。
