Stress, qualité de vie et santé des étudiants. Suivi de cohorte en première année commune d'étude en santé (PACES)

These preliminary results highlight the intensity of stress inherent to the competitive context. While a possible motivator, this stress can also have consequences in the short, medium, and longer term on the psychological and physical quality of life of certain students made vulnerable by this first university experience. It is crucial to identify those in difficulty and to develop a preventative approach through training and workshops for stress management and emotional regulation very early in a health sciences program. For students who do not succeed in this first year, it is also important to consider ways to help them to advance in other programs.
