Abstract
IMPORTANCE Functional dyspepsia is a common digestive disorder found across various age groups, including university students. This condition is influenced by several risk factors, such as stress and smoking habits. Non-health students represent a relevant population to study, as they have received less attention in prior research despite exhibiting high stress levels and a notable prevalence of smoking.
AIMS This study aimed to examine the association between stress and smoking habits with suspected functional dyspepsia among non-health students in South Tangerang City.
METHODS This quantitative, non-experimental study employed a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through questionnaires from 442 respondents and analyzed bivariate using the Chi-Square test with SPSS version 30.
FINDINGS The findings showed a significant association between stress and suspected functional dyspepsia (p < 0.001), whereas no significant association was found between smoking habits and suspected functional dyspepsia (p = 0.243).
CONCLUSION This study highlights the important role of stress as a significant factor associated with suspected functional dyspepsia among university students, whereas smoking habits were not significantly associated with the condition.
RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE The findings support the integration of psychological assessment into nursing care for university students experiencing functional dyspepsia symptoms. Nurse-led health education, stress management programs, and timely referrals for psychological support may help reduce symptom severity and promote holistic student health.
ETHICS APPROVAL AND FUNDING This study was approved by the research ethic committee of Faculty of Nursing Universitas Indonesia and no specific funding.
