Background&Aim: Dental students are exposed to various levels of stress that may affect their mental and physical health, academic performance, and quality of life. This study aimed to examine the level of psychological stress and perceived stressors among clinical students at the Zahedan School of Dentistry.
Materials and Methods: The study population consisted of clinical dental students. Participants were assessed using the validated Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and the Dental Environmental Stress Questionnaire (DES). A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The score for dental environmental stress among students was 101.19 ± 17.51 (out of 152) (66.57%), indicating moderate stress. The main sources of stress for students were related to clinical education, patient treatment, and university efficiency, while the least stressful factor was related to internal beliefs. A significant positive correlation was found between dental environmental stress and depression, anxiety, and stress among both male and female students, across different academic years, and among students living with family and in dormitories.
Conclusion: The highest level of dental environmental stress is experienced by third-year students, who exhibit higher anxiety levels compared to other students. Fourth-year students show higher levels of depression than their peers. Sixth-year students report the lowest levels of stress, anxiety, and dental environmental stress, while fifth-year students experience the least depression.
