Abstract

Purpose and methods: We surveyed a large sample of health-related sciences undergraduate students at the Medical University of Gdańsk (MUG), Poland in a pilot study to assess self-reported somatic/mental health-related issues, measure the level of burnout using Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI), the presence of depressive symptoms with Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item (PHQ-9) and assess the problematic alcohol intake (CAGE questionnaire). Additionally, stress coping mechanisms were investigated.

Results: A total of 864 students participated in the survey. The mean total OLBI and PHQ-9 scores equalled 43.3 ± 2.7 and 11.3±5.8 points, respectively. The CAGE questionnaire was positive in 21.6% of students. Three most prevalent stress coping mechanisms included TV binge-watching, binge-eating and cigarette chain smoking (51.0%, 45.0% and 28.0% respectively).

Conclusions: Future studies are required to confirm the obtained results, assess, and monitor trends and set-up interventions to improve the welfare of health-related science MUG students.

格但斯克医科大学健康相关专业本科生福利和心理健康问题的描述性研究。

目的和方法:我们对波兰医科大学Gdańsk (MUG)的健康相关科学本科学生进行了一项试点研究，以评估自我报告的身体/精神健康相关问题，使用Oldenburg倦怠量表(OLBI)测量倦怠水平，使用患者健康问卷9-item (PHQ-9)评估抑郁症状的存在，并评估问题性酒精摄入(CAGE问卷)。此外，还探讨了应激应对机制。结果:共有864名学生参与调查。平均OLBI总分为43.3±2.7分，PHQ-9总分为11.3±5.8分。21.6%的学生在CAGE问卷中呈阳性。最常见的三种压力应对机制分别是看电视、暴食和连续吸烟(分别为51.0%、45.0%和28.0%)。结论:需要进一步的研究来确认已获得的结果，评估和监测趋势，并建立干预措施，以改善与健康相关的理科大学生的福利。
