Abstract

Since Hans Seyle first described stress, physicians and scientists have been studying stress and various manifestations of it. In pursuit of happiness, man has tried to eliminate stress from his life, but in vain!!

Based on symptoms and signs of stress, we devised a questionnaire to assess stress levels in participants. In present study we carried out stress audit of students of 1 MBBS (225 students) of a government medical college, located in a metropolitan city and 1 MBBS (150 students) of a government medical college located in a small city.

Comparative study of these gen y persons of a metropolis and a small city was done. It was found that metro medical students had higher stress levels.
