Abstract

Stress is a common mental issue among students during the COVID-19 outbreak. This study aimed to determine and to compare the stress level among health sciences and non-health sciences students during the Movement Control Order. Cross-sectional study design was used, and the Perceived Stress Scale questionnaire was distributed for this study. The majority of 145 students (81.4%) had a moderate stress level, and there was no significant difference in the mean of the stress level between the health sciences and non-health sciences students(p>0.05). This research provides preliminary insight into the stress level among students and the need for further actions. Keywords: Stress; students; movement control order eISSN: 2398-4287© 2020.
