Abstract

Introduction: A descriptive, exploratory, non-experimental study was conducted to explore the characteristics of academic stress among first-year medical students in the fourth module of the 2022 class of the Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery program at the Faculty of Higher Studies (FES) Zaragoza. The study aimed to identify the primary factors that contribute to academic stress. Methods: The study sample comprised 200 students at the Faculty of Higher Studies Zaragoza, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). The data were collected using the Cognitive Systematic Inventory of Academic Stress (SISCO). Results: The inventory revealed that the most commonly identified environmental stressors are excessive workload, professors´ evaluations, and professors' character and personality. The most commonly reported indicators of stress are sleep disorders, chronic fatigue, and drowsiness. The most widely used coping strategies include assertiveness, making a plan and completing tasks, and self-praise. Conclusions: In conclusion, differences in the frequency of academic stress characteristics were observed. These differences are important because they can help design and implement solutions, such as workshops or programs, to improve stress management in the academic setting for this population
