Abstract

Background Medical students' syndrome (MSS) is a set of psychosomatic symptoms that affect students due to their medical background knowledge. Objectives This study aims to measure the prevalence and assess the knowledge about MSS among medical students at the University of Sharjah. It also aims to compare the attributed characteristics of MSS between different years of study. Methods A self-administered 24-item questionnaire was distributed to 503 students enrolled in the College of Medicine at University of Sharjah using nonprobability convenience sampling during June 2021. A total of 472 responses were completed and analyzed using descriptive studies and chi-squared test. Results The prevalence of MSS in this study was found to be 70.8% ( n = 334). Clinical year students were 1.75 times more likely to have felt they had a disease they studied about (95% confidence interval: 1.05-2.90, p = 0.03). Conclusion Medical students are more likely to experience MSS as their education progresses.

阿联酋沙迦大学医学生综合症调查

医学生症候群(MSS)是由于医学生的医学背景知识而影响到学生的一组心身症状。目的本研究旨在测量沙迦大学医学生的MSS患病率并评估其相关知识。它还旨在比较不同研究年份间MSS的属性特征。方法采用非概率方便抽样的方法，于2021年6月对沙迦大学医学院的503名学生进行问卷调查。共完成472份调查问卷，采用描述性研究和卡方检验进行分析。结果本组MSS患病率为70.8% (n = 334)。临床一年级学生感觉自己患有他们所研究的疾病的可能性高出1.75倍(95%置信区间:1.05-2.90,p = 0.03)。结论医学生受教育程度越高，经历MSS的可能性越大。
