High levels of stress and depression in medical students is raising concern. In this study, we sought to identify coping strategies and other factors influencing academic stress in medical students. We enrolled 157 students from the University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Korea, in November, 2010. We used the Medical Stress Scale, Temperament and Character Inventory, Hamilton Depression Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, and Coping Response Inventory to assess psychological parameters. We used Pearson's correlation and linear regression analyses to analyze the data. Novelty-seeking, self-directedness, cooperativeness, coping strategy, and depression scale scores all correlated significantly with stress level. Linear regression analysis indicated that students who are novelty-seeking, likely to use avoidant coping strategies, and unlikely to use active-cognitive and active-behavioral strategies tend to have higher stress levels. Reduction of stress in medical students may be achieved through evaluation of coping strategies and personality features and use of interventions to promote active coping strategies.
医学生的压力和抑郁水平升高令人担忧。本研究旨在确定应对策略和影响医学生学业压力的其他因素。我们于 2010 年 11 月招募了韩国蔚山大学医学院的 157 名学生。我们使用医学压力量表、气质与性格量表、汉密尔顿抑郁量表、贝克抑郁量表和应对反应量表评估心理参数。我们使用 Pearson 相关分析和线性回归分析来分析数据。探索新奇、自我导向、合作、应对策略和抑郁量表评分均与压力水平显著相关。线性回归分析表明，寻求新奇、可能使用回避应对策略、不太可能使用积极认知和积极行为策略的学生往往压力水平较高。通过评估应对策略和个性特征并使用干预措施来促进积极应对策略，可能会降低医学生的压力。
