Chunk #57 — 5. Discussion — 5.1. Prevalence and Levels of Stress, Depression, and Alcohol Use Disorders of Slovak Students in an International Comparison
In this study, it was generally found that Slovak university students reported acceptable PSS, PHQ 9, and AUDIT scores. When comparing the obtained PSS score, it is possible to point out the fact that Slovak students reported a lower level of perceived stress than students in other countries. Specifically, Slovak students acquired a mean PSS score of 5.95, which is obviously less than a mean value of 18.43 for Korean students [30], 19.79 for students from the UK [47], or 32.2 for Italian students [46]. In terms of gender specification, a higher mean PSS score was found in female students, which is consistent with the findings revealed in the US study [45].
