ABSTRACT:

Stress is defined as the body’s non-specific response to demands made upon it, or to disturbing events in the environment. It is not just a stimulus or a response but rather, it is a process by which we perceive and cope with environmental threats and challenges. A total of 90 students was included in the study. The mean age of the students was 23.12±2.25 years. There were 50 (56%) females and 40 (44%) males in the study. According to fifteen percent of the students, they do not take stress during their medical studies. Thirty percent of the students responded that, they only take stress during their final examination, that too for difficult subjects only. Fifty five percent of the students responded that they always remain in stress i.e. during routine tests, internal assessments as well as final examinations. A lot of medical students suffer from different levels of stress during their medical studies. The various reasons must be evaluated, and proper policy should be made to minimize this issue.
