The study explores the stress from academic pressure, financial burdens, career uncertainty, and time management challenges among medical students. Social isolation, health issues, faculty-related difficulties, and effectiveness of coping strategies such as time management, social support, relaxation techniques, and institutional support services. This research contributes to the existing literature by offering insights into the challenges faced by medical students and the mechanisms they employ to manage stress. The study underscores the need for universities to implement structured support systems, including counselling services and stress management programs, to mitigate academic stress. Future research may focus on longitudinal studies to examine stress trends over time and the long-term effectiveness of various coping strategies.
