Abstract
The medical education in India is demanding as far as students’ efforts are concerned. Fear of failure, vast amount of content that has to be mastered, inability to cope with the high expectations of parents and peers are found to be the most commonly observed sources of stress. The objective is to obtain sources of stress among medical students at Government Medical College, Nagpur. Present observational descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from March & April 2016 among 244 medical students at Government Medical College, Nagpur using self-administered MSSQ questionnaire. Mean age of students in this study was 20.17 years with SD of 0.92 years. Academic related stress was found to be having mean of 2.96 with SD of 0.70, which was on top of the list with other stressors. Followed by, Intrapersonal & interpersonal related stressors, Teaching and learning related stressors, Group activities related stressors, Social related stressors, Drive and desire related stressors. A significant number of study participants in our setting suffer from moderate to high stress. Strategies are required to decrease the burden of academic stress in the students.
