Abstract

Academic performance, expressed as an indicator of the educational teaching process, is increasingly important in the formation of medical science students of Cuban universities.

Objective: to evaluate academic performance and its association with stressors in second-year students at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Manzanillo in the period of 2015 to 2016.

Methods: a quasi-experimental analytical study was conducted at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Manzanillo in the period from 2015 to 2016. The sample consisted of 198 medical students, to whom the Sisco inventory of academic stress was applied to know, according to the Likert scale, stressors, manifestations and strategies to face the situation causing stress. The Chi-square test was used to determine whether there was an association between the factors and performance. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the relationship of academic performance between the low and high categories.

Results: Understanding the classes was the only stressor that presented significance concerning academic performance and constitutes the independent variable that models the logistic regression function.

Conclusions: an instrument was obtained to model the probability of low performance when the education provided is not understood by the majority of students.
