The purpose of this study is to identify factors affecting the mental health of final-year Pharmacy students (n = 134) in Dongnai province in the academic year 2019-2020. Regression analysis results show that 3 factors positively that affect students\' stress, anxiety, and depression include study (p<0,001), family relationships (p<0,001), and career orientation (p<0,05).Among them, learning factors have the greatest influence. These results show that students need problem-solving training to resolve difficulties in family relationships and arrange a reasonable study schedule to graduate as expected. The school should promote career orientation for students after graduation.
