Method: A cross sectional survey was conducted on 2013 intake of new medical students.We recruited
263 participantsbetween September and October 2013 during the first two months of their university
life. Level of distress was measured using an Indonesian version of the WHO General Health
Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12).
Result: Of 263 students, 52.2% were classified as being at risk of stress and 14.8% were classified as
"stressed". There were no significant differenceinlevel of stress between male and female students and
those students with different socioeconomic status and geographic category(p>0.05). However, students
from lower socioeconomic background and those from rural regionsreported slightly higher levels of
stress, though this difference wasnot significant (p>0.05).Students who obtained specific government
scholarship due to low socioeconomic status were significantly higher of stress level (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The study shows that new medical students had high levels of stress compare to the
general public as measured by GHQ-12. Follow up study is planned to assess the effect of stress
longitudinally in relation to academic performance.
