Comparative Study of Stress Levels in Clinical Vs Non-clinical Years Among Undergraduate Medical Students in Peshawar

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Many students report high levels of psychological stress as a result of the heavy cognitive and emotional demands of medical school. Undergraduate medical students in Peshawar were the subjects of this study, which sought to assess their levels of felt stress during their clinical and non-clinical years. Higher levels of stress were found among clinical-year students in a cross-sectional study using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). The results underscore the need of developing individualized plans to alleviate stress among students based on their current academic standing.
