RESUMO
Background/objectives: 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. Materials and methods: 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. Results and Conclusion: 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.
RESUMO
A follow-up study with multivariate analysis examined the relations of methods for selecting students, performance after admission, and scores on the national examinations for medical technologists and for nurse practitioners. The subjects were 247 students who had entered the division of laboratory medicine at the School of Allied Health Sciences, Yamaguchi University, from 1995 through 2000 and 484 students who had entered the division of nursing during the same period. Scores on examinations at the School of Allied Health Sciences and on national professional examinations did not differ between students who had been admitted on the basis of recommendations from high school principals (including an interview) and students who had been admitted on the basis of an open entrance examination (also including an interview). However, questions remained about the legitimacy of the high school records of students admitted on the basis of recommendations from high school principals but not of students admitted on the basis of an open entrance examination. Furthermore, the relevance of the interview during the open entrance examination for medical technologists and nurses was not recognized. In addition, for medical technology students who had been admitted on the basis of open entrance examinations, we found that scores on the national examination were correlated with the scores on the entrance examination and with their grades at the School of Allied Health Sciences.
