Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:The limitations of the study include those inherent to cross-sectional studies when establishing statistical associations and not causality. Other limitations include the procedures for the conformation of the sample (non-probabilistic) and the virtual form of the survey that could generate recall and selection biases, as well as the short time that it was arranged to be answered by the students. In contrast, stress perceived was not stratified into levels, only the high degree of stress perceived or not was considered. Future research should take this limitation into account and stratify the population according to the level of stress into low, medium and high levels and look for possible statistical associations between this and sociodemographic factors, which was not possible in this research due to the poor percentage of stress perceived (<1%) and even after adjusting the cut-off point to ≥ 20 (14%), however, the validity and internal consistency of the EEP-10-C was demonstrated, with the potentiality to generalize its application in Cuba. The strength of the research is that it is one of the first studies to address aspects of the mental and occupational health of students of the medical sciences in Cuba toward the epidemic, carried out with an easy-to-fill online survey. Another strength is the representativeness of students from all the Medical Universities of Cuba. The main contribution of the research was the validation of the EEP-10-C for Cuban medical majors and al...
