Analyzing the Effects of Academic Stress on Immune Responses and Performance in Science and Medical Education, Especially in Nurse and Physiotherapy Students in Saudi Arabia
Abstract
Students in healthcare education programs often experience moderate to extreme levels of academic stress. Stress is an emotional or physical factor that causes bodily or emotional pain and might, if not controlled, lead to psychological distress and physical illness. The immune system is identified as one of the body systems that are most influenced by academic stress. The present paper aims to explore the connection between academic stress and immunological responses, as well as between academic stress and student performance. Our sample will be students enrolled in nursing and physiotherapy programs. There are few studies examining the effects of student stress on immune activity and measures here. Therefore, this study seeks to address this need, focusing on nursing and physiotherapy students, who represent the healthcare community.
