MACEO PALACIO, Omar et al. Effectiveness of Bach's floral therapy against the academic stress in first year Stomatology students. MEDISAN [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.9, pp.4064-4072. ISSN 1029-3019.

A single-blind controlled phase II clinical trial, was carried out in 60 students with academic stress -- randomly distributed into 2 groups: a control and an experimental groups -- who studied the first year of the Stomatology career in "Dr. Efraín Benítez Popa" Branch of Medical Sciences in Bayamo, Granma, from September, 2011 to June, 2012, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of Bach's floral therapy against this state of psychic fatigue. To determine the association among the groups the Friedman`s chi-square test was used, with a level of significance of 5%. It was obtained that before the application of the floral therapy, 50% of students had high and half levels of academic stress, and after the intervention only 30.0% maintained the mean degree of stress and 10.0%, a high level of it.

Palabras clave : academic stress; floral therapy of Bach; traditional medicine; stomatology students; medical universities.
