Abstract
AbstractStress is a common experience among students, especially those pursuing rigorous fields such as paramedicine. Elevated stress levels can have profound psychological consequences, including an increased risk of suicidal ideation. This study explores the relationship between stress and suicidal ideation among paramedicine students, aiming to identify key factors contributing to mental health challenges in this cohort. Using a cross-sectional design, the research analyzes data collected through validated psychological scales assessing stress levels and suicidal ideation. Results indicate a significant positive correlation, suggesting that higher stress levels are strongly associated with an increased likelihood of suicidal thoughts. Contributing factors such as academic pressure, clinical exposure, and lack of coping mechanisms were examined. The findings highlight the need for targeted mental health interventions, including stress management programs and accessible support systems, to reduce the risk of suicidal ideation among paramedicine students. This research underscores the critical importance of fostering a supportive educational environment to promote mental well-being in healthcare education.Keywords: Stress, Suicidal Ideation, Paramedicine, Mental Health, Academic Pressure, Psychological Well-Being
