Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyze the causes of stress driven by the national examination and to find out correlation between stress factors and students` general characteristics.
Methods: Data were collected from self-reported questionnaires by dental hygiene students in D university in February, 2012.
Results: Those having good high school GPAs (p<.05) and high preliminary test scores (p<.01) towards dental hygienist (p<.05). National license examination was the most stressful factor for 54.2% of the students. Much more stressful pressure goes to students of non-scheduled admission (p<.01), students who graduated from vocational high schools(p<.01), students with good high school GPAs (p<.05), and having high preliminary test scores(p<.05). Most of the students tended to bear the burden on national written examination with an average of 4.17. The most difficult subject was oral biology introduction (average 4.52). Oral biology introduction was more stressful to students of early admission, students graduating from vocational high schools (p<.05), students with good high school GPAs (p<.05), and students who had relatively low preliminary test scores (p<.001).
Conclusions: It is crucial to reduce stress factors and to develop related programs.
