Quality in education is possible with the warranted updation of curricula, its effective delivery mechanism, modernization of infrastructure in educational institutions, faculty upgradation, and balanced blending of curriculum with extracurricular activities. For decades, the process of learning focuses on traditional way of teaching. Traditional teaching takes place mainly through didactic lectures. Students are supposed to grasp the contents of the lectures and have to reproduce them on paper during their final examinations. [1] Teaching medical curriculum is not an easy task as from student's perception, they have to learn many subjects at a time and teachers are also burdened with a number of responsibilities such as administrative work, research work, and updating their knowledge; apart from their teaching and patient care work. This jet-setting pace of technical advancement has led to knowledge explosion but teaching has remained unchanged. [2]

Worldwide prevalence of hypertension is over 40%. Management of hypertension targets blood pressure control to prevent disease complications. Though stress and hypertension are closely related, stress management is often overlooked in the treatment of hypertension. Aims: (1) To estimate the prevalence of stress in hypertensive patients and (2) to study the associated risk factors of stress and its implications in disease management. Materials and Methods: It was a hospital-based, cross-sectional study done in Western India for 1 year. Data were collected from 400 hypertensive patients attending the selected health institutions using a pretested questionnaire. Chi-square tests were done using Medcalc 10.4.8.0. Results: The prevalence of stress in hypertensive patients was found to be 84.3%. Only 2.4% of these patients sought help from any health professional for stress. The most common stressors ...
