Description
International students in foreign country face challenges as they are outside of their home. They should be adapted in so short time to different climate and food, living conditions and financial problems, finding balance between studies and daily routine. Also, they have to be adapted to the schedule of classes, learning styles, other possible difficulties related to language, culture, personal barriers. A student may encounter a number of difficulties of the transitional period from everyday situations in daily life and to cultural adaptation.
Consequently, if the university is going to invite and enroll international students, these listed above difficulties should be considered and taken into account or at least facilitated.
All factors mentioned before contribute to the constant tension of the adaptive mechanisms of the organism, the deviation of physiological functions; as a result can lead to fatigue and disturbance of physiological adaptation.
The aim of study was to explore individual stress levels among Indian and Arabian students of 2nd course of Kharkiv National Medical University.
