METHOD A non-experimental,comparative correlational, quantitative investigation without intervention. STUDY POPULATION 1840 nursing and physical therapy students. The data collection tool used was a questionnaire. RESULTS A 32.2% prevalence of psychological distress was found in the subjects; a correlation between vigor and psychological distress was found for all of the subjects and also for women. High absorption and dedication scores and low psychological distress scores predicted higher vigor scores. CONCLUSION The risk of psychological distress is high, especially for women. Women seem to have a higher level of psychological distress than men. Vigor, energy and mental resilience positively influence psychological distress and can be a vehicle for better results during the learning and studying process.
