ABSTRACT: Background: Stress is an important factor determining the mental health of the individual. During this pandemic, a student's life has had a questionable influence in academics since an online platform was created to educate them. This study was done to assess the stress level among medical and engineering students. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the stress level. A 15 close-ended questionnaire was validated before circulating among the students through Google forms to various colleges. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software version 26.0, Descriptive statistics was done to assess the mean and standard deviation and a chi-square test was done to find an association among the students. The P-value <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The study was done among the 182 students to assess their stress level. The study results showed that the stress level was found to be almost same among the medical and engineering students, whereas while assessing the online platform to conduct academic classes, it was shown that almost all the students were comfortable gaining knowledge through online platform. Conclusion: The study shows that the stress level during the pandemic is found to be similar among the engineering and medical students, which showed that during the pandemic, all have influenced the similar level of stress irrespective of medical and engineering students.

INTRODUCTION: Pandemics are events that occur quickly without any warning or signs; Covid- 19 is a pandemic that has spread rapidly, affecting a million people overall the globe 1, 2.
The stress level and mental health go hand in hand. Stress and mental health impede academic success in the student’s carrier. Stress will affect the overall mental health of the students.
This Covid-19 pandemic has changed the lives of so many students 3, 4. The mental illness affects the motivation, social interaction, and stress affects not only the students who are undergoing stress but will affect the overall family members. According to the annual report of Centre for Collegiate Mental Health, it has clearly shown that stress is a factor that affects the students' mental illness, and 62.7% of the students were under mental illness 5, 6. Covid-19 has brought into focus the various stress-related issues faced among the students. Despite the workload, all schoolchildren carry out, its proven that college students handle more peer pressure and serious mental and physical health issues than school students 7, 8.
Today in this modern era, the spread of Covid-19 has affected the lives of so many youngsters with a difficulty to even pay their fees. The financial crisis has affected the student's mental health status, which intake increases their stress level and negatively impacts overall health 9, 10. The students' insight is still questionable since it might make the students feel so stressed attending online class by using their mobile phones, which can cause instability in their mental health. Previous studies have stated that academic performance declined during the Covid-19 pandemic than in the earlier years. The study's main objective is to assess the stress level based on a questionnaire among medical and engineering students.
MATERIALS AND METHOD: A cross-sectional study was conducted among engineering and medical college students across Tamil Nadu to assess the stress level during the Covid-19 pandemic. The institutional review board gave ethical clearance approval with the approval number SRMU/M & HS/SRMDC/2019/S/006. The sampling technique carried was the multistage sampling technique. The population all across Tamil Nadu was selected. From the various district of Tamil Nadu, Chennai was selected, and from Chennai two colleges, 1 from medical and one from engineering, was selected.
The participants were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The sample size was calculated using G* power; a study done by Sabari et al in 2017 was taken as the parent article for sample size calculation. The alpha error was 0.05 and the power (1-β err prob) - 0.95. The final sample size was obtained as 182, Informed consent (bilingual) was obtained from the participants who were chosen based on inclusion criteria. The questionnaire was a closed-ended model consisting of 15 questions. They were explained the purpose and procedure of the study and assured that their participation in the study was entirely voluntary and that they can withdraw from the study at any stage. They were also informed that the data collected will be kept confidential and will be used only for research purposes. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software version 26.0. Descriptive statistics were performed to analyse the frequency and percentage distribution. Inferential statistics was performed to know the difference among the stress level among the medical and engineering college students.
RESULTS: Table 1 shows the descriptive statistics on stress perception among the study participants included in the study. Among the study participants, nearly 2.7% of the individuals were not comfortable using online platforms, whereas 28% were comfortable using the online platform during the Covid-19 pandemic. While assessing students' academic performance during a pandemic, nearly 2.2% of students were never involved, whereas 37.9% had sometimes involved in academics. While assessing the health-related questions, nearly 51.1% had eye problems due to online class and 62.1% felt very tired from attending online classes.

Table 2 shows the chi-square test to find an association between educational qualifications. The questionnaire was assessed and showed that both undergraduate and postgraduate students had difficulty in the Covid-19 pandemic, and there were no dissimilarities in the difficulties among them. P-value <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. During the attending online class and performance in academic-related questions, P-value was found to be <0.05, which implies a statistically significant difference was found among the undergraduate and postgraduate students. The other questions assessed to know the stress level did not differ among the undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Table 4 shows the mean difference among the engineering and medical students. The mean difference showed that the stress level was found to be similar among the engineering and medical students irrespective of their field. P-value <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. P-value was found to be >0.05 for all the questionnaires recorded. The mean was found to vary among each questionnaire, with the least mean found for question-related about the students' comfortability towards using an online platform for classes. The mean was found to vary among each questionnaire, with the least mean found for questions related to the comfort ability of the students towards using an online platform for classes which was following the engineering student’s opinion. Graph 2 shows the mean difference of questionnaires recorded among the engineering and medical students. The mean varied among each questionnaire among the 2 study groups involved. Graph 3 shows the standard deviation difference of the questionnaire recorded among the engineering students. The standard deviation among the questions was assessed, and found that least was found among the students' comfortability while using the online platform.

DISCUSSION: The spread of Covid-19 still holds a thread among the people in various countries around the globe. The multidisciplinary approach shows that central opinion should be applicable to promote people's health; hence to answer this call, the stress level of students was assessed during the Covid-19 pandemic. Although Covid-19 has started emerging again in various countries with the new variant, still hopes are increasing due to increased vaccination and maintenance of social distancing, and wearing mouth masks would be the primary protocol that helps people fight against the Covid-19 11, 12. The continuous spread and occurrence of new variants had influenced the students' mental health, which influenced their studies and concentration level 13, 14.
This study was done to assess the stress level of the students in engineering and medical college around Tamil Nadu. The stress perception was almost similar among the students during the Covid-19 pandemic. All had encountered difficulties in academic performance, and many students had difficulty interacting with the staff and improving their academic performance level. Statistically, much difference was assessed among the medical and engineering students. The difficulty in attending the online classes was difficult for the engineering students who live in rural areas, and medical students encountered a serious problem due to a lack of practical training during the Covid-19 pandemic. The results showed that eye problems is arising hugely during this pandemic among the students and the students felt tired more frequently during the Covid-19 pandemic. The current study results are of significance to stress levels and mental health of college students in the medical and engineering field. The government should take various steps if the lockdown is still prolonged by starting a channel for medical students and engineering students so that classes on important topics can be taught in the government channel via chalk and talk method in which various students in rural areas would get benefited. Communication can be an important step to ensure the students deal with their stress levels. Keeping self-motivation classes during this Covid-19 in every medical and engineering college is advised to help the people overcome their academic crises during the Covid-19 pandemic.
CONCLUSION: The stress level seems to be an important factor affecting the students' mental health. The study showed that stress level among the medical and engineering students was far similar both encountered stress in academic during the Covid-19 pandemic.
