The results indicated that, in the first group, 15.2 % presented a mild stress level, 32.9 % moderate, and 51.9 % high. In the second group, 100 % of the students experienced high stress. In conclusion, a significant increase in high-stress levels was observed. In conclusion, a substantial increase in academic stress levels was observed as university training progressed.
