Survey investigates stressors and coping mechanisms among medical students, suggesting structured support interventions.

The study aims to understand how medical students evaluate stress and apply coping strategies during their education.
Employed an online cross-sectional survey targeting medical students at Yarmouk University.
Questionnaire assessed perceived stress, stressors, coping mechanisms, and sociodemographic/lifestyle factors.
Applied exploratory factor analysis to identify stressors and coping strategies.
Utilized multivariable partial proportional odds models to analyze associations with stress levels.
Approximately 66% of respondents reported elevated stress levels.
Frequent exams, extensive learning content, and insufficient study time were identified as major stressors.
Students who used adaptive coping strategies experienced lower stress (odds ratio = 0.58).
Examination-related stressors correlated with increased stress likelihood (odds ratio = 2.01).
Females were less likely than males to report high stress levels (odds ratio = 0.42).

Dodin et al. (2026) studied this question.
