The self-reported health status and life satisfaction of 286 first-year Duke University medical students in four consecutive classes were measured at the beginning and end of the school year and compared statistically with relevant sociodemographic and behavioral factors. Health status, quantitated in terms of Duke Health Profile scores, was generally lower for women than for men. Although there was a definite trend of worsening along all parameters of health and satisfaction during the year for both women and men, the most marked change was the increase in depressive symptoms. The students who were very satisfied with life had fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety; higher self-esteem, better physical, mental, and social health; stronger social ties; more physical activity; more sleep; and fewer stressful life events. Strong social ties was the factor most positively related to better health and life satisfaction.
对杜克大学连续四个班级的286名一年级医学生的自我报告健康状况和生活满意度在学年开始和结束时进行了测量,并与相关的社会人口统计学和行为因素进行了统计学比较。根据杜克健康状况评分量化的健康状况,女性总体上低于男性。尽管在这一年中,男性和女性在健康和满意度的所有参数上都有明显的恶化趋势,但最显著的变化是抑郁症状的增加。对生活非常满意的学生抑郁和焦虑症状较少;自尊水平较高,身体、心理和社会健康状况较好;社会关系更紧密;体育活动更多;睡眠更充足;生活压力事件更少。紧密的社会关系是与更好的健康和生活满意度最正相关的因素。
