We, for example, taught them stress management skills in 8-week classes (and evaluated effects in a RCT - see publications: e.g., our SM-MESH paper): They were doing quite well! However, we also evaluated student's health (and stress) levels, repeatedly (some of the results also published): They do have stress! Quite remarkedly!

Another study we conducted showed that, e.g., social media do not alleviate, but actually increase perceived stress, particularly during exams (periods of pronounced stress).

Thus, students really deserve some recognition and support with their stress, and needs. Best, Tobias Esch

We are evaluating psychological stress and physiological stress in response to incivil coworkers. Also evaluating whether this kind of stress impacts their patient care.

Thank you Dr Esch!, I have pulled 3 articles for review including the recommended article. I do need to obtain a translation for your "Health in Stress... " and am working on that with the University Library.

Thank you Dr Willhaus,

I look forward to reading your research and have passed the information to a colleague who will be researching Incivility in Nursing faculty Additionally your Sim articles to our Sim Coordinator.

because our students really deserve some recognition and support with their stress, and needs.I am  interested on this article to read it and apply the result

Thank you Dr Sharaiha,

I am in the proposal stage so it will be a while!

Dear All,

Each of us may be "attacked" by stress because of our deformed way of life. Also students are exposed to similar frustrations. I had a student who suffered in oesophagus reflux and because of the difficult and slow healing he thought he had some intestine parasites. He found in his anus a tiny object he believed to be a worm egg. I examined this object and recognized it was a poppy (Papaver somniferum) seed. This was my first “health” intervention. I think teachers can but help stressed students creating quit and well-balanced circumstances in classes.

Thanks Dr Bozsik, you make a good point! Stress can do many things to our students  - tears, GI distress, lack of sleep and the list goes on and on.

Susan I am still in the analysis process, but it seems that there are some differences between male and female students. I will contact you, as I promised.

Thanks Carmen.

I also found a Taiwanese study looking at only male students. i will send you the researchers and cite when I am home.

Thanks. I appreciate

Stressors include lack of financial certainty, poor employment prospects, increased pressure to do well and technological overload, additional practicum-related stressors which contribute to their perceived stress and vulnerability

Thanks, Krishnan. 

One of the tools I am using examines 4 factors: financial, competition, educational & clinical. See my question on Factor analysis for more information on my study and tools.

Thanks for the article!
