Summary
A new questionnaire effectively measures academic stress, integrating anxiety and burnout in dental students. It demonstrates high validity and reliability, aiding in interventions to improve student well-being.
Area of Science:
- Educational Psychology
- Health Sciences
- Psychometrics
Background:
- Academic stress is a significant concern for dental students.
- Existing measures may not comprehensively capture academic anxiety and burnout.
- A validated tool is needed to assess these multifaceted stressors.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a comprehensive questionnaire for assessing academic stress.
- To integrate measures of academic anxiety and burnout into a single instrument.
- To provide a reliable tool for evaluating student well-being in academic settings.
Main Methods:
- Questionnaire development using existing instruments (DES, PSS, DASS-21, MBI).
- Validation through expert review (content validity), student feedback (face validity), and statistical analysis (construct validity, reliability) with 100 students.
- Data analysis included I-CVI, S-CVI, I-FVI, S-FVI, and Rasch modeling.
Main Results:
- The questionnaire demonstrated strong content, face, and construct validity.
- High reliability was confirmed with a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.94.
- Person-map analysis revealed distinct stress dimensions and differences between preclinical and clinical students.
Conclusions:
- The developed questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring academic stress in dental students.
- This tool can support proactive interventions to enhance student well-being and academic outcomes.
- The findings highlight the need for tailored support addressing specific stressors faced by preclinical and clinical students.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

01:13Stress Concentrations
743
The concept of stress concentration is crucial for understanding how materials respond under bending stresses, particularly when there are irregularities or discontinuities in the material's geometry. Normally, stress in a symmetric member subjected to pure bending is assumed to be uniformly distributed across the entire cross-section. However, this assumption does not hold when there are variations in the cross-sectional geometry or the presence of notches and holes.

A thorough health history and physical assessment are essential for identifying cardiovascular disease (CVD) symptoms and distinguishing them from other health issues.
Initial Enquiry
Ask the patient about their primary concern and thoroughly explore all reported symptoms.
Medical History
Investigate past illnesses affecting the cardiovascular system, such as angina, anemia, rheumatic fever, congenital heart disease, stroke, thrombophlebitis, dysrhythmias, varicosities

01:30Stress and Mental Health
1.1K
Chronic stress profoundly affects mental health, significantly influencing mood, behavior, and overall quality of life. Research closely links chronic stress with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Ongoing exposure to stress can lead to physiological and psychological changes, initiating a cycle of emotional distress and maladaptive coping mechanisms.

01:21General State of Stress
736
The general state of stress within a material can be accurately depicted using a stress tensor. This tensor encapsulates the internal forces distributed within a material subjected to external forces or deformations.
Specifically, consider a tetrahedral element where one face, labeled XYZ, is perpendicular to the line OA, and the remaining faces align with the coordinate axes with point O as the origin. At any point, such as point O, the stress tensor can be used to determine the stress...
