It may lead to stress or depression and can contribute to the development of depressive disorders. Objective: To study the academic factors that cause stress and depression among Pharmacy Faculty students, Ubon Ratchathani University. Method: Samples used in this research were students who studied in 2nd year - 6th year, Faculty of Pharmacy, Ubon Ratchathani University, enrolled in the academic year 2020. Data were collected through an online questionnaire and individual in-depth interviews. The statistics used for data analysis were demonstrating the sample overview using descriptive statistics such as mean, percentage, and standard deviation and inferential statistics including determining the correlation between the academic factors. Results: The sample in this study consists of 313 students. Most of the samples have 59.1 percent of stress and 43.5 percent of depression, respectively. Academic factors have a statistically significant impact on stress in all factors, except failing the exam and being required to repeat the class. The most influencing factor is too much pressure on oneself regarding education. All academic factors have a statistically significant impact on depression. The most influential factor is academic performance not meeting expectations. An analysis of qualitative research found that the main factors that cause stress are poor adaptation, difficulty in understanding and catch up with study in a class hour, difficult and complicated contents, and inability to review and study the books in a timely manner. Conclusions: The factors related to academic performance primarily influence stress, and all academic factors contribute to the occurrence of depression among pharmacy students. |
