Abstract
Stress is interpreted as a more general term that describes the effects of psychosocial and environmental factors on physical or mental well-being. Mental stress in psychiatric disease and in daily life contributes to oxidative stress in the body. The adjustment difficulties of college students have been an emerging issue. Many studies have proved that the adjustment difficulties like appetite disturbance, concentration problems and depression are most evident in freshmen. The objectives of this study were to determine the relationship of counseling and academic performance among health science students. About 100 health science students of MBBS, B.Sc. (N) and Allied Health Science students were recruited for the study. They under¬went face to face counseling with the college faculty members throughout the first year of their course. The pass percentage after counseling is increased as follows: among allied health science students, Anatomy from 82 to 91%, Physiology from 51 to 98 %, Computer science from 89 to 100 % and English from 96 to 100 %; among MBBS students, Anatomy from 60 to 87 %, Physiology from 80 to 93 %, biochemistry 73 to 90 %; among B.Sc. (N) students Anatomy & Physiology from 57 to 93 %, Biochemistry from 50 to 87 %, Fundamental of Nursing from 73 to 97 %, Psychology from 83 to 90 %, Microbiology from 80 to 90 %. The results of our study show that the counselling is a very important tool which increases the academic performances of undergraduate students.
