This paper aimed to analyze self-evaluations in terms of quality of life (QoL), physical health (PH) and mental health (MH) of ex-medical students from a Brazilian public university, correlating these outcomes with demographic data and several professional aspects.
a cross-sectional study with a target population of all students graduated from the Botucatu School of Medicine (UNIFESP--São Paulo State University) between 1968 and 2005. A self-administered questionnaire, which could be answered by regular mail or internet, was used.
From the 2,864 questionnaires that were sent by mail, 1,224 (45%) were answered and sent back. Good or very good QoL, PH and MH were reported by 67.8%, 78.8% and 84.5% of participants, respectively. In the final logistic regression model, positive QoL was associated with good PH and MH, regular attendance to scientific meetings, enough leisure time, and professional satisfaction. Good or very good PH was independently associated with positive QoL and MH, higher income level, regular physical activities, and never having smoked. Positive MH remained associated with professional satisfaction, enough leisure time, and positive evaluation of both QoL and PH.
Among medical doctors graduated from São Paulo State University, PH and MH were inseparable aspects, which were also related to the self-evaluation of QoL. Good habits, such as regular practice of physical exercise, enough leisure time, and not smoking were associated with positive health in general and should be encouraged. Professional satisfaction had an important impact on the emotional well-being of participants.
本文旨在分析巴西一所公立大学的往届医学生在生活质量（QoL）、身体健康（PH）和心理健康（MH）方面的自我评价，并将这些结果与人口统计学数据及若干职业方面的数据相关联。
一项横断面研究，目标人群为1968年至2005年间从Botucatu医学院（圣保罗州立大学）毕业的所有学生。使用了一份可通过平信或互联网作答的自填式问卷。
在通过邮件发送的2864份问卷中，有1224份（45%）得到回复并寄回。分别有67.8%、78.8%和84.5%的参与者报告生活质量、身体健康和心理健康良好或非常好。在最终的逻辑回归模型中，积极的生活质量与良好的身体健康和心理健康、定期参加科学会议、有足够的休闲时间以及职业满意度相关。良好或非常好的身体健康独立地与积极的生活质量和心理健康、较高的收入水平、定期进行体育活动以及从不吸烟相关。积极的心理健康仍与职业满意度、足够的休闲时间以及对生活质量和身体健康的积极评价相关。
在圣保罗州立大学毕业的医生中，身体健康和心理健康是不可分割的方面，这也与生活质量的自我评价相关。良好的习惯，如定期进行体育锻炼、有足够的休闲时间和不吸烟，总体上与积极的健康状况相关，应予以鼓励。职业满意度对参与者的情绪健康有重要影响。
