Abstract
The article presents the results of a study of the level of educational stress of medical students, factors affecting it, manifestations and ways of overcoming. The study established the leading factors leading to the formation of educational stress among students of KSMU. Among them, factors such as: heavy academic workload, “strict teachers”, fear of the future, irregular meals and “an overly serious attitude to study” come to the fore. Whereas personal problems (personal life, relationships in a team, staying away from parents, managing finances) play a relatively less important role in stress formation. The leading place among the factors of educational stress is excitement before the exam. The most common manifestations of educational stress among students are: a feeling of lack of time, sleep disorders, as well as decreased performance and increased fatigue, which in turn can lead to a decrease in academic performance of students. Based on the results of the study, it is planned to develop programs for the prevention and reduction of educational stress among medical students.
