Network analysis of psychological factors related to academic pressure faced by medical students in the central and highland regions of Vietnam
Medical students experience extensive pressure during their undergraduate courses. Given the complex associations between psychological factors in association with academic pressure. We investigated the study with objectives: To examine psychological factors related to academic pressure by analysing interactions between ‘study motivation’, ‘study environment’, ‘study conditions’, ‘teacher quality’, ‘training programme’, ‘management system’, ‘evaluation’, and ‘extracurricular activities’ using a network analysis approach. A total of 878 medical students majoring in general medicine from the first, third, and fifth years of a six-year course at the largest medical university in central and highland regions of Vietnam were involved in this cross-sectional study. The approach used was convenient cluster sampling with a self-administered questionnaire by the participants. Network analysis for pairwise correlations between psychological factors was estimated . Important factors in the network analysis were calculated using centrality indices including node strength (S), closeness (C), and betweenness (B). The higher score of S, C, and B indicate the more importance of the node. The results obtained from the network analysis of eight psychological factors showed that ‘teaching quality’ was mostly connected with other factors overall, while the ‘training programme’ was seen in both genders and freshman students. ‘Study conditions’ and ‘training programme’ were mostly connected with other factors in junior and senior students, respectively. The strong pairwise correlation was confirmed: management system and evaluation activity, followed by study environment and study conditions, and teaching quality and training programme. Additionally, nodes with high centrality were shown to be ‘management system’ (S = 0.97, C = 0.019, B = 1), and ‘training programme’ (S = 0.96, C = 0.021, B = 4). Our study findings indicate that satisfaction with the training programme amongst eight psychological factors is the most important factor affecting academic pressure among medical students. The training programme is linked with teaching quality, whereas the management system is correlated with evaluation activity..
