Abstract

Background: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a gastrointestinal disorder caused by the recurrent reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus, leading to symptoms and complications. Clinical clerkship medical students are a vulnerable group for GERD due to irregular eating habits, high stress levels, and poor sleep quality. The prevalence and associated risk factors of GERD in this population need to be explored, as they may impact health, quality of life, and academic performance. Methods: This study employed an analytical cross-sectional design involving medical students in the clinical clerkship program at Raden Mattaher Hospital, Jambi. A total of 150 respondents were recruited using purposive sampling. GERD symptoms were assessed by using GERD-Questionnaire. The prevalence was calculated using SPSS 26. Results: The study revealed that the prevalence of GERD symptoms among medical clerkship students was 21.3% and the remaining 78.7% was all at risk of having GERD. Conclusion: The high prevalence of GERD among clinical clerkship medical students highlights the need for increased attention to modifiable risk factors.
