The data recorded from the questionnaires given out were further studied using statistical methods namely The Mann-Whitney U Test, Kruskal-Wallis H Test and Friedman Test. results showed that there are no significant differences between the perception of males and females in any dimension. However, when socio-economic status was used as a grouping variable, "finances" was the only dimension that showed a significant difference. Specifically, high and middle and high and low - income groups had significant differences while the middle and low classes showed insignificant results. The top five stressors were named using the frequency and the ranking was determined using the weighted mean. The following were determined in order from the top stressor to the least - Heavy Workload, Information Overload, Adjustment to Medical School Environment, Sleep Deprivation and Failure in Exams. The coping mechanisms were also determined using the same method for stressors.
