Area of Science:

Psychology
Sports Science
Medical Education

Background:

Academic stress negatively impacts student quality of life.
Psychological factors like trait anxiety and coping strategies are often overlooked in stress research.
Understanding the role of academic programs in student stress is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine if academic programs are associated with higher perceived stress.
To investigate if this association persists beyond personal and environmental risk factors.
To assess the influence of coping strategies on the relationship between academic programs and stress.

Main Methods:

A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2009 among third-year medical, dental, psychology, and sports sciences students.
Data collected included perceived stress, trait anxiety, coping strategies, substance use, and stress triggers.
Self-administered questionnaires were used for data collection.

Main Results:

Sports programs were associated with lower perceived stress compared to medicine, even after adjustments.
Psychology programs also showed a significantly lower perceived stress risk after accounting for various factors.
The association between academic program and perceived stress was modified by personal/environmental factors and coping strategies.

Conclusions:

Sports and psychology programs demonstrate a lower perceived stress risk relative to medicine.
Coping strategies and risk factors significantly influence the link between academic programs and stress.
Interventions focusing on coping strategies and academic environment improvement can mitigate stress consequences.
