Project Title: Stress and wellbeing in vet students

The veterinary profession in NZ is concerned about levels of occupational stress. MURF funding supported research into the ways in which optimism, self-esteem, social networks and coping strategies were related to veterinary students' levels of stress and life satisfaction. Questionnaires were distributed to students in all 5 years of the BVSc in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Men and women did not differ on key study variables. Students with more optimism and self-esteem were less stressed, less likely to see problems as threats, more likely to see problems as challenges and used better coping strategies. Students in different years did not differ in their levels of optimism, social support, self-esteem, life satisfaction or stress. Recommendations included retaining initiatives to build well-being that are already in place, such as initiatives to build social skills and strong interpersonal networks which in turn may foster self-esteem and optimism.
