Prevalence and level of stress among final-year students at a health science institute in Bangladesh.
Article in Discover mental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundFinal-year students studying in various health science institutes are usually very stressed about their studies so that they can complete their studies without any hurdles. This stress can lead to poor academic and professional results because psychological issues such as anxiety and depression are frequently overlooked and not treated. This study aimed to measure the prevalence of stress and also assess the level of stress symptoms among the final year students of health science institute in Bangladesh.
methodsA prospective cross-sectional study involving 134 final-year students of Bangladesh Health Professions Institute (BHPI), which is a well-known health science institute in Bangladesh measured the prevalence of stress and assessed the level of stress symptoms using the Academic Stress Scale (ASS-40). Data was collected through face-to-face interviews and analysed using SPSS software 25.0. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data retrieved from the students. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to find any deep relation between the levels of stress symptoms of the students with their age.
resultsThe prevalence of stress symptoms among the 134 students was 68.60%. The scenario of having stress symptoms was higher among male students and factors like fear of failure (29.20%), followed by teacher-student relationship/teaching method (28.80%) with addressable factors including personal inadequacy (25.50%) working as a stressor for this students. A negligible association (p > 0.05) was found between the age and the level of stress of the students.
conclusionMore than two-thirds of the students experienced stress symptoms during the final days in their institutions. This implies that the educational system, means of teaching, teaching materials, teachers as well as the services provided by the institutions cannot provide a conducive environment for effective learning as well as creating a secure future for the students as long as they can cope with the academic pressure. A student's educational career is being nipped in the bud due to the weak system of our education and institutional system.
