Purpose: Identification of potential causes of academic difficulties and unsatisfactory student performance is essential for any educational institution. This study has been undertaken to identify risk factors that are associated with academic difficulties among medical students by exploring lifestyle and social factors, health problems, study and exam habits and psychological status of students at the faculty of medicine in Jazan University, Saudi Arabia.
Materials and Methods: This observational analytical case–control study was performed at the Faculty of Medicine at Jazan University to highlight the factors that influence the academic performance of medical students. We studied 40 students with academic difficulties (cases) and 40 controls based on their grade point average. Cases were matched to controls according to sex, age, and medical year.
Results: Several factors seem to negatively affect the students’ academic performance; students with academic difficulties are older, require more time to reach the college, their perceived English proficiency is less than their counterparts, and they spend less time socializing. On the other hand, having a strong family support system, socializing with friends, access to the internet, and engagement in extracurricular activities seems to positively affect the students’ performance. No difference was observed in study habits or sleep quality. The prevalence of anxiety, stress, and depression were all low for both cases and controls.
Conclusion: We have identified many factors, most of which are related to the student’s lifestyle and social habits, that positively and negatively affect academic performance.

吉赞大学医学生的学业困难:病例对照研究

目的:识别导致学业困难和学生表现不佳的潜在原因对于任何教育机构都是必不可少的。本研究旨在通过探索沙特阿拉伯吉赞大学医学院学生的生活方式和社会因素、健康问题、学习和考试习惯以及心理状况来确定与医学生学业困难相关的风险因素。
材料和方法:这项观察性分析病例对照研究在吉赞大学医学院进行,以突出影响医学生学业成绩的因素。我们根据平均成绩研究了 40 名有学业困难的学生(案例)和 40 名对照。根据性别、年龄和医疗年份将病例与对照组进行匹配。
结果:有几个因素似乎会对学生的学习成绩产生负面影响;有学业困难的学生年龄较大,上大学需要更多时间,他们认为英语水平低于同龄人,他们花更少的时间进行社交。另一方面,拥有强大的家庭支持系统、与朋友交往、上网和参加课外活动似乎对学生的表现产生积极影响。在学习习惯或睡眠质量方面没有观察到差异。病例和对照组的焦虑、压力和抑郁的患病率都很低。
结论:我们已经确定了许多因素,其中大部分与学生的生活方式和社会习惯有关,它们对学业成绩产生积极和消极的影响。
