Abstract
Background: A comprehensive comprehension of students' study habits is of utmost significance for educators in facilitating their academic pursuits. Objective: To determine, assess and compare the study habits and the academic performance among day scholars and hostellers. Materials and Methods: The 1st year MBBS students who were consented to participate in the study were given a structured self-assessment questionnaire developed and standardized by Palsane and Sharma. Palsane and Sharma Study Habits and Inventory (PSSHI). The self-assessment skills tool has six categories. Each domain consists of five statements, resulting in a total of 30 statements within the tool. The academic performance of the students was assessed by separate exams with a maximum score of 100 with 50 being the pass mark. Results: The mean PSSHI scores among day scholars and hostellers were 210.58 ∓ 5.8 and 196 ∓ 4.5 (p=0.01) ,and the mean academic performance scores among day scholars and hostellers were 61.25 ∓ 6.2 and 56.2 ∓ 5.6 respectively (p=0.02). This parity in performance indicated that study habits and academic performance are better among the day scholars as compared to hostellers. Conclusion: PSSHI scores and internal marks were significantly higher among the day scholars as compared with the hostellers (p=0.01; p=0.02 respectively).
