Supporting mental health of medical students: Needs and demands concerning an e-mental health application within medical education.
Background: Digital technologies are increasingly integrated into medical education and healthcare services. Studies have demonstrated the efficacy of e-mental health approaches, offering cost-effective, user-friendly, anonymous, and geographically flexible support.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the needs and demands of medical students regarding the design of an e-mental health application within the context of medical education to foster stress management and personal skills.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2022 to July 2023 at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany. N=229 students were incorporated in the final data evaluation. The survey comprised standardized and established self-generated inquiries. Needs and demands were analyzed descriptively. A cluster analysis was conducted to explore hypothetical subgroups. Differences and similarities of the clusters were compared.
Results: Most students expressed a preference for smartphone or tablet accessibility, with sessions lasting between 10 to 20 minutes during stressful situations and on an as-needed basis. Participants indicated a desire for information and practical exercises related to self- and time-management, self-esteem and confidence, coping with helplessness, learning methodologies, and self-care/resilience. Video, downloadable, and audio content along with access to expert guidance, were deemed valuable. K-medoids clustering revealed a low and high burden cluster.
Conclusions: By aligning with specific needs and demands of target populations, e-mental health apps with enhanced usability and a more user-focused approach can be developed to establish a blueprint for an e-mental health app tailored to their requirements.

There is a special focus on empirical studies which are methodologically sound and lead to results that are relevant beyond the respective institution, profession or country. Please feel free to submit qualitative as well as quantitative studies. We especially welcome submissions by students. It is the mission of GMS Journal for Medical Education to contribute to furthering scientific knowledge in the German-speaking countries as well as internationally and thus to foster the improvement of teaching and learning and to build an evidence base for undergraduate and graduate education. To this end, the journal has set up an editorial board with international experts. All manuscripts submitted are subjected to a clearly structured peer review process. All articles are published bilingually in English and German and are available with unrestricted open access. Thus, GMS Journal for Medical Education is available to a broad international readership. GMS Journal for Medical Education is published as an unrestricted open access journal with at least four issues per year. In addition, special issues on current topics in medical education research are also published. Until 2015 the journal was published under its German name GMS Zeitschrift für Medizinische Ausbildung. By changing its name to GMS Journal for Medical Education, we wish to underline our international mission.
