The methods; A cross-sectional study using self-administered questionnaire which consisted of three parts namely socio demographic information, potential stressors and Personal Stress Inventory which gave the stress score. The results; A total of 155 students (83.3%) involved in this study. The prevalence of stress among the respondents was 70.3% (109/155). Prevalence of stress was found to be higher among first year (90.2%) followed by second year (71.4%), third year (67.6%) and fourth year students (42.9%).
