Abstract

|
Background and Objective : The purpose of this study was to explore particular aspects of the mental health status of medical students and to identify relationships among them.
Methods: All 191 medical students from University of Ulsan College of Medicine were included in this study. Psychological parameters were measured with the Medical Stress Scale (MSS), Insomnia Severity Index, Korean-Parental Overprotection Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Academic Motivation Scale.
Results: Stressed students (MSS ≥ 28) had significantly higher scores on insomnia severity (5.8 ± 4.5 vs 4.4 ± 3.0, p < 0.05), depression (5.7 ± 4.5 vs 2.6 ± 2.4, p < 0.01), and amotivation (9.3 ± 3.3 vs 6.9 ± 2.2, p < 0.01) and lower scores of intrinsic motivation (3.5 ± 7.1 vs. 41.7 ± 7.2, p < 0.01) compared to non-stressed students (MSS < 28). Significant correlations were noted between several factors and Medical Stress Scores. Specifically, insomnia, depression, amotivation and maternal ‘face culture’ of parental overprotection, had independent and significant influences on academic stress reported by medical students (R2 = 0.39, p < 0.01).
Conclusions : Our findings revealed insomnia, depression, academic motivation and parental overprotection are relevant factors influencing stress in medical students. Current results provide insights for stress management including the importance of parenting intervention.
