SITUATIONS OF THE CLINICAL PRACTICES THAT THEY CAUSE STRESS IN STUDENTS OF INFIRMARY

Abstract

Observacional, cross-sectional comparative study given to the 3 courses students of infirmary registered in course 2004-05 in the School of Meixoeiro (Vigo), with the objective to valuate situations of the clinical practices, grouped by factors, are but more stressant for the students. The Kezkak and Stai questionnaires have been used to make. Participation in the study has been of the 85.30%. with a rank of ages between 19-41 years. The obtained average scores in our school reflect a high score in almost all the items considered like leading factors of stress, in comparison with the students of other studies. When making the correlation between anxiety characteristic, anxiety state and the situations , we have found significant between some of the factors and anxiety state, but not in anxiety characteristic, which seem to indicate that the stress situations that arelived with greater intensity are more related to the insecurity than with a characteristic of its character. As a measure to improve the level of anxiety of our students in the accomplishment of its clinical practices we propose interventions that facilitate the education of relaxation techniques and facing facts.
