As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to spread across the world, it is also adversely affecting medical student education. In addition, COVID-19 poses several challenges to medical students' physical and mental health and their professional identity formation. Medical students are experiencing increasing anxiety due to the COVID-19 disruption. Medical students show higher rates of depression, suicidal ideation, and stigmatization around depression and are less likely to seek support. It is therefore important to safeguard their mental health and implement effective strategies to support their educational, physical, mental, and professional well-being.
随着2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行在全球持续蔓延,它也对医学生教育产生了不利影响。此外,COVID-19给医学生的身心健康及其职业身份形成带来了诸多挑战。由于COVID-19造成的破坏,医学生正经历着日益增加的焦虑。医学生的抑郁症、自杀意念以及围绕抑郁症的污名化发生率更高,且他们寻求支持的可能性更小。因此,保障他们的心理健康并实施有效策略以支持他们的教育、身体、心理和职业福祉非常重要。
