Abstract

Results from many studies indicate that throughout medical education students experience high levels of stress and depression. The aim of the current study was to assess and compare Bulgarian and Turkish medical students' levels of stress and depression. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 546 students (276 foreign students from Medical University – Sofia and 270 medical students from several medical universities in Ankara). The study instrument included basic socio-demographic questions, Medical Student Stressor Questionnaire (MSSQ-40 items) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Turkish medical students showed higher levels of stress and depression than foreign students from Bulgaria. We found that all types of stressors in medical students had a relationship with depression. Results of our study imply that medical students need access to psychological support throughout their education.
两国医学生心理健康状况的比较研究
许多研究结果表明,在整个医学教育过程中,学生都经历着高度的压力和抑郁。当前研究的目的是评估和比较保加利亚和土耳其医科学生的压力和抑郁水平。对546名学生进行了横断面研究(276名来自索非亚医科大学的外国学生和270名来自安卡拉几所医科大学的医科学生)。研究工具包括基本社会人口学问题、医学生压力源问卷(MSSQ-40)和贝克抑郁量表(BDI)。土耳其医科学生比保加利亚的外国学生表现出更高的压力和抑郁水平。我们发现医学生中所有类型的压力源都与抑郁有关。我们的研究结果表明,医学生在整个教育过程中都需要获得心理支持。

期刊介绍: Medicina Social es un foro académico internacional con acceso abierto y revisión por pares destinado a la promoción y el desarrollo de la Medicina Social. La revista se escribe con la inventiva y la visión crítica y comprometida que animó a los fundadores de la Medicina Social. Para lograr esto: 1. Actuamos como foro de investigación y docencia respecto a las formas en las que los factores sociales no sólo influyen sobre la salud y la enfermedad sino que a su vez son modificados por las mismas. 2. Apoyamos los objetivos de Salud para Todos de Alma Ata y la visión holística de la salud contenida en la Carta de la OMS. 3. Producimos materiales científicamente calificados, intelectualmente honestos, libres de sesgos comerciales, claramente escritos y presentados. 4. Organizamos la revista de manera tal que refleje y apoye la diversa comunidad internacional que trabaja en el campo de la medicina social. Para realizar los objetivos de “Salud para Todos” debemos tener una revista que incluya todas las voces.
