The study found that dental students had the highest mean perceived stress scale (PSS) score of 29.5, followed by medical students at 27.0, physiotherapy students at 26.6, and engineering and nursing students at 26.6 and 23.2 respectively. Pharmacy students had the lowest mean PSS score of 23.2. This indicates that dental students experienced the highest levels of perceived stress compared to other students. Perceived stress levels were lowest among pharmacy students. While the mean PSS score was slightly lower in male students at 26.2 than female students at 26.9, this difference was not statistically significant.

The study of Mane et al (2011) conducted in India by the use of Perceived Stress Scale by Cohen

revealed the following: the mean PSS score was higher (29.5) in the dental students, followed
by the medical students (27.0), physiotherapy students (26.6), the engineering students,
(26.6) and it was lower in the nursing students. The lowest mean PSS score of 23.2 was found in
the pharmacy students.
The higher score among the dental students indicated that the perceived stress was highest
among them as compared to other students. The level of perceived stress was the lowest among
the pharmacy students. the null hypothesis was rejected and an alternative hypothesis was
accepted, which stated that there was a difference between the levels of perceived stress
among the students who were studying for various courses.
The mean PSS score SD of 26.2 6.7 of the male students was slightly lower, as compared to
the score of 26.9 6.3 of the female students and this difference was not statistically signifcant.
