Abstract

The epidemiology of the stress is not well known. The reason behind this is, very few studies have been conducted about allied health sciences students. This study may act as pioneer studies that focus on all the sources and causes of stress among the students in Government College University Faisalabad.

This study was a type of observational study, cross-sectional survey. This type of study is quite brief and easy to understand so it was done. A questionnaire was made which comprised of all the necessary questions to be asked from the students. It included demographic information such as gender, degree, semester, and age of the students to get the idea from where the student belongs. It includes all the questions about sources of stress which they were facing while studying in the university.

It has been inferred that furnishing of labs, clinical rotation, dealing with criticism related to academics, major cause of stress that is any complex, financial-responsibilities, job expectation and insecurity about future employment are the factors that increased or decreased the stress per day among the students.
