Medical student syndrome among medical and nonmedical students at Sultan Qaboos University: A comparative study of health anxiety
Nonmedical students demonstrated similar levels of health-related anxiety. Gender differences and external stressors, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, play a significant role in shaping health anxiety. As such, tailored intervention strategies and programs to address health anxiety among both medical and nonmedical students need to be implemented by psychologists and counselors in postgraduate settings.
