Abstract	Background: The coronavirus pandemic has led to the closure of educational institutions to limit gatherings and slow transmission. The transition from traditional learning to online learning can be a completely different experience. As the lockdown has ended, it will be difficult to return to traditional learning. We aimed to assess academic stress, the factors responsible for it, and solutions during the post-COVID-19 transition to traditional learning. Methods: In total, 250 physiotherapy students were recruited for this study. After a proper explanation, voluntary consent was obtained, and participants were requested to fill out a self-reported questionnaire and the Perception of Academic Stress (PAS) scale. The questionnaire consisted of questions regarding the presence of academic stress, its factors, and solutions from the perspective of physiotherapy students. Findings: The mean age of the students was 20.38 + 1.30 years. According to the PAS, most of the students (n=165) experienced a low level of academic stress (66%). Factors such as the communicability and approachability of staff and difficulty in interacting with classmates were the most expressed by students. Practical sessions should be mandatory, and an increase in extra-curricular activities is the most common solution provided by the participants. Conclusion: We identified various factors and solutions for the academic stress on physiotherapy students during post COVID transition to traditional learning. These solutions can be included in the academic curriculum of physiotherapy institutions to combat the academic stress-related problems faced by the students.
