  • 소개/요약Undergraduate and graduate students consistently experience elevated levels of stress due to academic, social, and financial pressures. In an undergraduate sample, 50.8 % of students reported being “often” or “always” stressed (Britz and Pappas 2010). Likewise, medical students, residents, and graduate science students all demonstrated significantly higher scores on a measure of psychological distress than the norm for a stratified random sample of community non-patients (Toews, Lockyer, Dobson, and Brownell 1993). Elevated levels of stress adversely affect psychological and physical health (Schneiderman, Ironson, and Siegel 2005), and a survey of undergraduate and graduate students found stress to be the most commonly reported impediment to academic performance (American College Health Association 2004). University students could thus benefit from stress reduction interventions.
