DEL TORO ANEL, Annia Yolanda; GORGUET PI, Marlen; PEREZ INFANTE, Yaimet  y  RAMOS GORGUET, Darriela Annette. Academic stress in first year medicine students with low school performance. MEDISAN [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.1, pp.17-22. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive and cross-sectional study of medicine students with low academic performance, belonging to the Medical College No. 2 from Santiago de Cuba was carried out in the semester from October, 2008 to April, 2009, with the objective of determining its causes. A prevalence of high stress levels in these students, mainly of the female sex, as well as of stressing situations was found: overload of tasks and of school duties, teaching evaluations and limited time to carry out the work. Of all the evaluated reactions, the most intense were the psychological ones, while the most used coping strategy was the emotion. The behaviour pattern type A prevailed in the students with high stress levels in the case material.

Palabras clave : medicine student; academic stress; low school performance; medical university.
