Introduction: There are stress factors in university settings that can have a significant negative impact on the health of students. Religious beliefs play a very important role in preventing these influences. In this regard, the present study examines the relationship between religious beliefs and students' stress levels.
Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 365 students in 2016. The participants were selected by using the stratified sampling method and proportionate to the number of students in each faculty. The spiritual outlook measurement questionnaire and Life Change Unit (LCU) questionnaire were employed for data collection. The obtained data were analyzed by performing the T-test و Anova، X 2 and Pearson tests in SPSS, version 20.
Results: The most stressing factors were intrapersonal stressors. There was a significant correlation between intrapersonal stressors with the respondents’ age (P=0.017) and environmental stressors with grade (P=0.044). There was not a significant relationship found between LCU and religious beliefs.
Conclusion: Given the nature of medical sciences, students experience high levels of stress that can lead to clinical signs of stress. So, the recommendation is that empower students in academic planning and use of the power of trust and religious beliefs for carrying out affairs that should place on the agenda of the relevant authorities. |
