Stress, from a psychological perspective, is defined as “an imbalance or a potential imbalance between someone's requirements and the ability to meet them”.11. Simandan D.

Design
A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted in Krakow, Poland, among students from seven local universities.
Setting
Krakow is the second largest and one of the oldest cities in Poland, situated on the Vistula River in the south of Lesser Poland. There are seven public universities in Krakow, and the study was performed in all of them. From each of the six large universities (those that offer more than 10 undergraduate courses) such as the Jagiellonian University, University of Technology, University of Science and Technology, University of Economics, Pedagogical University of Krakow and the University of A...
Population studied
In each undergraduate course, we randomly selected a group of third-year students who took part in the study. Third-year students were chosen because they were in the middle of university education. In this way, we eliminated the influence of stress typically present in the beginning of studies and graduation. Inclusion criteria were being aged from 18 to 26 years, being a full-time third-year student, and agreeing to sign an informed consent form. The final sample comprised 264 students (150...
Characteristics of participants
We invited 280 students to our study and 264 of them proceeded to further analysis. Sixteen students were excluded because they had incorrectly completed the questionnaires. Participants had a mean age of 22.22±1.5 years. Most of them were female (150, 57%). Participants represented seven universities and 13 fields of study: sociology (20, 7.5%), geophysics (20, 7.5%), forestry (15, 6%), engineering and water management (18, 7%), transportation (22, 8%), architecture (22, 8%), administration...
Stress level
A high level of stress was observed in 27 (10%) of the respondents, a moderate level in 87 (33%), and a low level in 150 (57%). In the group with a high level of stress, the large majority were women, but the differences between genders in relation to stress were not statistically significant. Students who reported that they suffered from chronic diseases were more likely to have a higher level of stress than their healthy colleagues (p=0.006). Students who were cigarette smokers reported hig...
Stress-coping strategies
According to the mini-COPE inventory, the most common stress-coping strategies among students from Krakow were those focusing on the problem: active coping (mean ± standard deviation = 2.13±0.62) and planning (2.06±0.68). Far fewer students used strategies such as denial (0.68±0.74) and substance use (0.56±0.78). Table 1shows how often particular stress-coping strategies were used in the study group. There were no statistically significant differences in stress-coping strategies between stude...
Main findings
Our study showed that 10% of the examined students suffered from a high level of stress, which was more widespread in those with chronic diseases and in cigarette smokers. The most common stress-coping strategies used by the study group were active coping and planning; however, strategies were different between men and women. The study revealed that the coping strategy used by the respondents also depended on their level of stress. With regard to sleep patterns, one fifth of the respondents s...
Comparisons with other studies
Most of the published studies that assess the level of stress using the PSS-10 involved students of specific subjects and did not show a cross-sectional image of student society. A study performed in Poland among nursing students showed that the majority of them had a high stress level.2424. Bodys-Cupak I, Majda A, Zalewska-Puchała J, Kamińska A.

Strengths and limitations
One of the most important strengths of this study is that it shows a representation of students from all public universities in the city of Krakow. This is the first study of this kind in Poland involving such a diverse group of students. Transparency of inclusion and exclusion criteria as well as the use of validated Polish versions of the questionnaires are also strong points in the research. Moreover, our study is unique, because never before has anyone assessed correlations between insomn...
