| Summary: | Background: The prevalence of stress among university students, particularly those studying in
healthcare fields, has emerged as a significant worldwide concern. stress is characterized as a state of
mental strain or anxiety stemming from challenging situations. The aim of this review is to deliver a
systematic review of previous research, and knowledge on the stress perceived by healthcare students
and their coping mechanisms.
Methods: The articles were obtained from the online databases which are PubMed, Ovid Medline,
Scopus, CINAHL, and EBSCO Discovery services. Only 40 studies were included in this review.
Results: The result revealed, final year healthcare students mainly from medical and nursing course
received stress from workload and assignment, lack of professional knowledge and skill and lack of
free time. The students applied problem-focused, emotional-focused and avoidant coping to cope with
their stressors.
Conclusion: In conclusion, this review indicates the need for future research to focus on perceived
stress and coping mechanisms especially for final year healthcare courses other than medical and
nursing to emphasize the broader significant and potential impact on the finding. |
