(1) The COVID-19 pandemic was declared an international health emergency by the World Health Organization. The dramatic, widespread transmission of the virus, high mortality, and lack of specific drugs caused the development of panic attacks and anxiety. Healthcare professionals, including medical students, were challenged to provide medical care to patients in need, often exposing themselves to the virus. (2) This study aimed to assess anxiety and stress levels in medical students, both at the beginning and after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. The STAI and PSS-10 questionnaires were used. (3) This study showed a decrease in anxiety levels among medical students after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. In both 2020 and 2022, female students were found to experience higher stress levels than male students. Anxiety levels were similar among students of different medical-related faculties. (4) The COVID-19 pandemic caused stress and anxiety among medical students, which decreased throughout the duration of the pandemic.
(1)世界卫生组织宣布新冠疫情为国际卫生紧急事件。该病毒急剧且广泛的传播、高死亡率以及缺乏特效药物引发了恐慌症发作和焦虑情绪。包括医学生在内的医护人员面临为有需要的患者提供医疗护理的挑战,常常使自己暴露于病毒之下。(2)本研究旨在评估新冠疫情开始时和结束后医学生的焦虑和压力水平。使用了状态-特质焦虑问卷(STAI)和压力感知量表(PSS-10)。(3)本研究表明,新冠疫情结束后医学生的焦虑水平有所下降。在2020年和2022年,均发现女生的压力水平高于男生。不同医学相关专业的学生焦虑水平相似。(4)新冠疫情在医学生中造成了压力和焦虑,而这种情况在疫情期间有所减轻。
