Abstract
Purpose: The university student chiefly takes an examination of the national exam for clinical laboratory technician at the end of the university. It is difficult to look for the student who suffers from the academic (=mental) stress because there is a few index with a good academic stress. Then, this examined it by using some stress indices aiming to know the method that was able to be passed by a lot of students in this research.Methods: Subjects: 28 healthy student volunteers were given informed written consent. Chemical stress index: Levels of Diacron-Reactive Oxygen Metabolite: d-ROMs (FRAS-Free Radical Analytical System;Italy). Psychological evaluation: Affect grid developed by Russell JR, Weiss A and Mendelsohn GA. Measurement time: Before a week National examining.Results: Blood d-ROMs concentrations were not increased significantly normally from 250±49U.CARR a week before. In Affect grid, both the score of "Pleasantness" and "Awake" were normal ranges. However, there was correlation between the result of the examination (order) and the blood d-ROMs concentration (r =0.497, p<0.01).Conclusions: The result of the person with blood d-ROMs concentration examination before a week tended to be normal. It was suggested that the measurement of the blood d-ROMs concentration about one week before the examination for making a lot of students pass the examination and caring mentally be effective.
