Abstract

Background: Medical students serve as frontline individuals to COVD-19 patients, and their mental health affects the quality and safety of the provided services. Objectives: The present study aimed to identify the relationship between anxiety, resilience, and posttraumatic growth of medical interns during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted in Kerman and Isfahan, Iran, from June to September 2020. The socio-demographic questionnaire, Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RIS), and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) were completed by 235 medical students. Pearson correlation test and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results: The mean and standard deviation scores of anxiety, resilience, and posttraumatic growth were 10.49, 1.08, and 50.60, as well as 13.39, 65.70, and 15.90, respectively. The results showed no significant relationship between anxiety and resilience (r = 0.16 and P = 0.057). A positive and significant correlation was observed between resilience and posttraumatic growth (r = 0.42 and P = 0.000). Furthermore, a significant negative correlation was found between anxiety and posttraumatic growth scores (r = -0.20 and P = 0.002). Conclusions: In sum, the more resilient and less anxious a person was, the greater his/her posttraumatic growth became. Therefore, it was recommended that appropriate psychological interventions be designed and implemented to improve the mental health of medical interns.

伊朗新冠肺炎疫情医学生焦虑、恢复力和创伤后成长的关系

背景：医学生是新冠肺炎患者的一线人员，他们的心理健康影响所提供服务的质量和安全。目的：本研究旨在确定新冠肺炎大流行期间医学实习生的焦虑、恢复力和创伤后成长之间的关系。方法：这项描述性相关研究于2020年6月至9月在伊朗克尔曼和伊斯法罕进行。235名医学生完成了社会人口学问卷、贝克焦虑量表（BAI）、康纳·戴维森恢复力量表（CD-RIS）和创伤后成长量表（PTGI）。采用Pearson相关检验和描述性统计对数据进行分析。结果：焦虑、恢复力和创伤后成长的平均分和标准差分别为10.49、1.08和50.60，以及13.39、65.70和15.90。结果显示，焦虑与恢复力之间没有显著关系（r=0.16，P=0.057）。恢复力与创伤后生长呈正相关（r=0.42，P=0.000）。此外，焦虑与创伤后成长得分之间存在显著负相关（r=-0.20，P=0.002），一个人越有韧性，越不焦虑，他/她的创伤后成长就越大。因此，建议设计和实施适当的心理干预措施，以改善医学实习生的心理健康。
