Abstract:
|
Objectives: To determine the level of perceived stress, strategies employed to ameliorate stress, and mental and physical health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among a sample of doctor of pharmacy students. Methods: All third-year pharmacy students were invited to participate in an Institutional Review Board approved study examining stress at two time points during the academic year while students were in required pharmacotherapy modules. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), a 14-item validated scale by Cohen, was used to measure stress level and reactions to stressful situations. The validated Health Outcome Short Form version 2 12 item survey, SF-12 HRQOL, was used to measure mental and physical HRQOL. A Personal Survey instrument was designed and used to gather demographic data and strategies students employed to ameliorate stress. Results: Participants were surveyed Fall 2006 and will be surveyed again Spring 2007. Responses were anonymous, but surveys were numbered. Implications: Correlations will be examined between the PSS, SF-12 HRQOL, and Personal Survey results for Fall 2006 and again for Spring 2007. Results on the PSS and SF-12 HQROL will be compared by different groups from the demographic data from the Personal Survey - gender, G.P.A. ranges, and hours employed outside of school. Common strategies employed to ameliorate stress will be reported, including those with positive and negative impact on overall health. Study results may be of interest to other academicians since ACPE Standards for the Curriculum No. 15 indicates that curricular assessment should include measurement of perceived stress among students. |
