本研究的主要目的是探讨在他们的第一，第二，第三年的计划在一个全面实施的新课程的药学博士生的感知压力。次要目标是确定是否有感知压力和某些人口统计变量之间的关系，比较学生药剂师感知压力，在一般人群中的感知压力，并检查学生报告的压力在药学院和应对策略，这些压力。一个以前验证的调查（感知压力量表-10）给予第一，第二，第三年的学生药剂师。女性表现出较高的平均压力分数比男性。22岁以下和32岁以上年龄组的平均压力得分高于22至26岁的学生群体。有没有显着差异，感知压力得分班之间的程序。只有一部分压力分数的变化是由性别、年龄、婚姻状况、种族和课程年限预测的。这些学生药剂师的压力得分高于那些在以前公布的概率样本在一般人群中的整体。课堂作业和完成电子文件夹是最大的压力源。与家人和朋友共度时光是报告的最常见的应对机制。与减轻压力有关的方案（特别是在女学生和非传统年龄的学生中）似乎是必要的。
The primary purpose of this study was to examine perceived stress in doctor of pharmacy students during their first, second, and third years of their program in a fully implemented new curriculum. The secondary objectives were to determine if there is a relationship between perceived stress and certain demographic variables, to compare student pharmacist perceived stress to the perceived stress in the general population, and to examine student reported stressors during pharmacy school and coping strategies employed for those stressors. A previously validated survey (Perceived Stress Scale-10) was given to first, second, and third year student pharmacists. Females exhibited higher mean stress scores than males. The under 22 years and over 32 years age categories exhibited higher mean stress scores than the 22 to 26 year old student population. There was no significant difference in perceived stress scores between classes of the program. Only a portion of the variation in stress scores was predicted by gender, age, marital status, race, and year in curriculum. Stress scores among these student pharmacists are higher overall than those in previously published probability samples in the general population. Class assignments and completing electronic portfolios were the top stressors reported. Spending time with family and friends was the most frequent coping mechanism reported. Programming related to stress reduction (particularly among female and nontraditional age students) appears warranted.
