Brief Summary:
Psychological stress is a frequent human affection and has a considerable impact on modern society and tertiary-level students often report increased stress levels as the semester progresses While many questionnaires assess psychological stress they do not capture objective data Much research has shown that electroencephalography EEG can capture objective markers of stress and recent studies have shown that EEG can even classify stress levels
This study aims to assess the feasibility of using EEG to objectively assess stress over the course of a semester of work in chiropractic students engaged in a Masters level course in Scotland
This study aims to assess the feasibility of using EEG to objectively assess stress over the course of a semester of work in chiropractic students engaged in a Masters level course in Scotland
Detailed Description:
The studys primary aim is to assess the feasibility of a more extensive future study The investigators also hypothesise that as the semester progresses participants will exhibit changes in their EEG outcomes that may be related to longitudinal or direct stressors
Study design and setting This study will be an observational study with a stress-related questionnaire Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale - 21 DASS-21 over three time-points
Participants The investigators aim to recruit 10 participants and assess them three times over the course of their semester early middle and late semester with at least a four-week gap between each data collection The investigators aim to recruit only healthy Scottish chiropractic students with no prior diagnosed mental disorder and who are capable of understanding the study procedure
Procedure Following screening for eligibility and consent ie visit one baseline participants will be asked to answer a questionnaire and undergo EEG measurement and Montreal imaging stress task MIST The same EEG and questionnaire procedure will be performed in the remaining two data collection sessions
Each EEG recording session with the participant seated will consist of a two-minute resting state with the eyes closed for a baseline relaxation level among the participants A following two-minute eyes-open phase will take place After which participants will be asked to perform the experimental phase of the MIST task a following two-minute recording phase will be with the eyes open and a final two-minute resting phase with eyes closed will conclude the task
The investigators aim to conclude the data collection around 16 weeks after the initial participant is recruited
