Abstract

Objective

To determine the factors associated with impostor syndrome in medical students from six regions of Peru.

Material and methods

A multicentre, cross-sectional study was conduced on students from first to the sixth year in six Peruvian regions. Sociodemographic, academic, and psychological characteristics were included through the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Clance Imposter Phenomenon Scale. Generalised linear models were performed using crude and adjusted estimated prevalence ratios.

Results

Of 2,231 medical students, 54.3% were female and 30.6% had the impostor phenomenon. An association was found between the PI and those who suffered from depression (aPR = 1.51; 95%CI, 1.27–1.79), anxiety (aPR = 2.25; 95%CI, 1.75–2.90), stress (aPR = 1.37; 95%CI, 1.19–1.57), and being female (aPR = 1.12; 95%CI, 1.01–1.26).

Conclusions

Three out of 10 medical students suffer from PI; having some level of depression, anxiety, stress, being a woman, and/or attending the fourth academic year were predisposing factors for their development.

秘鲁六个学院医学院学生的冒名顶替综合症及其相关因素

目的确定秘鲁六个地区医学生冒名顶替综合征的相关因素。材料和方法对秘鲁六个区域的一至六年级学生进行了一项多中心的横断面研究。通过抑郁、焦虑和压力量表-21、Rosenberg自尊量表和Clance Imposter现象量表包括社会形态、学术和心理特征。使用粗略和调整后的估计患病率进行了广义线性模型。结果2231名医学生中，女性占54.3%，有冒名顶替现象的占30.6%。PI与患有抑郁症（aPR=1.51；95%CI，1.27-1.79）、焦虑症（aPR=2.25；95%可信区间，1.75-2.90）、压力症（aPR=1.37；95%置信区间，1.19-1.57）和女性（aPR=1.12；95%可信范围，1.01-1.26）的人之间存在关联。结论十分之三的医学生患有PI；有一定程度的抑郁、焦虑、压力、身为女性和/或参加第四学年是他们发展的诱发因素。
