The medical education community has emphasized repeatedly the importance of teaching stress management and self-care skills to medical students. However, descriptions and evaluations of intervention programs are infrequent. This article describes a student-led stress management program for 1st-year medical students and summarizes program evaluation data from 1,111 participants.
The Stress Management Program is a voluntary activity that involves small groups of 1st-year medical students meeting with 2nd-year student coleaders. At the beginning of the fall semester, each group meets 1 hr per week for 7 consecutive weeks. Two psychologist faculty members serve as program coordinators.
Mean annual participation rate for 1st-year students was 94% over 16 years. Program evaluation results are strongly positive.
Based on longevity, participation, and student feedback, the program has been successful. Recommendations for creating and maintaining similar programs are offered.
医学教育界反复强调向医学生传授压力管理和自我护理技能的重要性。然而，对干预项目的描述和评估却很少见。本文介绍了一个由学生主导的针对一年级医学生的压力管理项目，并总结了来自1111名参与者的项目评估数据。
压力管理项目是一项自愿活动，一年级医学生分成小组与二年级学生共同负责人会面。在秋季学期开始时，每个小组连续7周每周会面1小时。两名心理学教员担任项目协调员。
16年来一年级学生的年平均参与率为94%。项目评估结果非常积极。
基于项目的持久性、参与度和学生反馈，该项目很成功。文中还提供了创建和维持类似项目的建议。
