Stress and distress in healthcare students: protective roles of social support, student community and meaningfulness of studying
Support from parents, romantic partners and peers, sense of community belonging and meaningfulness of studying may buffer the negative psychological outcomes of perceived stress. Promoting social support, sense of community and the meaningfulness of studying can help prevent psychological distress in healthcare students. Longitudinal research and further investigation on factors related to sense of community belonging and meaningfulness of studying are warranted.
