Medical students frequently have depressive symptoms. Thus, the psychological impact of COVID-19 on them should be high.
To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the prevalence of depression in medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
MEDLINE via PubMed, Embase and Web of Science were searched for studies reporting the prevalence of depression in medical students, published from December 1, 2019 to December 27, 2020.
Eleven studies were included, most of them from Asia. The estimated overall prevalence of depression in medical students was 31% (95% CI: 23%-40%), with lower prevalence rates reported in studies from Asia in general, and China in particular.
Our findings indicate that the proportion of medical students with depression during the pandemic was high, and comparable with that reported in other university students.
医学生经常出现抑郁症状。因此，COVID-19 对他们的心理影响应该很高。
对 COVID-19 大流行期间医学生抑郁的患病率进行系统回顾和荟萃分析。
通过 PubMed 的 MEDLINE、Embase 和 Web of Science 检索了 2019 年 12 月 1 日至 2020 年 12 月 27 日期间发表的报告医学生抑郁患病率的研究。
共纳入 11 项研究，其中大部分来自亚洲。医学生抑郁的总体估计患病率为 31%（95%CI：23%-40%），一般来说，亚洲的研究以及中国的研究报告的患病率较低。
我们的研究结果表明，疫情期间医学生中抑郁的比例较高，与其他大学生报告的比例相当。
