The goal of this study is to describe the state of mental health of Wisconsin medical students.
Online wellness surveys were distributed to students at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (UWSMPH) and Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) during the 2016-2017 school year.
Of UWSMPH respondents, 40.0% and 12.5% reported experiencing depression/other mood changes and suicidal ideation during medical school, respectively. Twelve percent of MCW respondents screened positive for depression using the Patient Health Questionnaire-2, and 7.8% reported experiencing suicidal ideation in the last 2 weeks.
Similar to results shown worldwide, Wisconsin medical students experience diminished mental health relative to nonmedical peers. Changes in medical education are needed to improve student mental well-being.
本研究的目的是描述威斯康星州医学生的心理健康状况。
在2016 - 2017学年期间,向威斯康星大学医学院和公共卫生学院(UWSMPH)以及威斯康星医学院(MCW)的学生发放了在线健康调查问卷。
在UWSMPH的受访者中,分别有40.0%和12.5%的人报告在医学院学习期间经历过抑郁/其他情绪变化和自杀念头。使用患者健康问卷 - 2,MCW的受访者中有12%筛查出抑郁呈阳性,7.8%的人报告在过去两周内有过自杀念头。
与全球范围内显示的结果类似,相对于非医学专业的同龄人,威斯康星州的医学生心理健康状况较差。需要对医学教育进行改革以改善学生的心理健康。
