Psychological distress is more prevalent among medical students compared to the general population. This study describes the factors which contribute to the well-being of medical students enrolled in the UP College of Medicine, and their relationship with the students' demographic characteristics.
The modified Cardiff Medical School Well-being Questionnaire was administered to 598 students of the UP College of Medicine. The following domains were explored: acquisition of knowledge and skills, work-life balance, demands, travel and orientation, safety, culture, finances, perceived support in academics and perceived support in personal/health matters. Students also shared their insights regarding potential areas of change to enhance their engagement and performance. Demographics are presented as frequency and percentage; the relationship between the demographic characteristics and factors was analyzed through multiple linear regression.
The mean age of the medical student participants was 22.6 years, with an almost equal male to female ratio. The majority were single, Roman Catholic, lateral entrants, having a high socioeconomic status, and with residence in the City of Manila while in training. Medical students were least concerned about culture, safety at work, travel and orientation, and perceived support for academics. However, they were most concerned about work-life balance, demands, finance, and perceived support on personal and health matters.
Medical students expressed more concern about work-life balance, demands, finance, and perceived support on personal and health issues, and marked less concern about culture, safety at work, travel and orientation, and perceived support for academics. Across all domains, there are areas for improvement and limitations which can be further explored in future studies.
与普通人群相比，医学生中心理困扰更为普遍。本研究描述了菲律宾大学医学院医学生幸福感的影响因素，以及这些因素与学生人口统计学特征的关系。
对菲律宾大学医学院的598名学生进行了改良版的卡迪夫医学院幸福感问卷调查。探讨了以下领域：知识和技能的获取、工作与生活的平衡、需求、出行与适应、安全、文化、财务状况、学业上的感知支持以及个人/健康事务上的感知支持。学生们还分享了他们对潜在改进领域的见解，以提高他们的参与度和表现。人口统计学数据以频率和百分比呈现；通过多元线性回归分析人口统计学特征与因素之间的关系。
参与调查的医学生平均年龄为22.6岁，男女比例几乎相等。大多数学生单身、是罗马天主教徒、为横向入学、社会经济地位较高，在培训期间居住在马尼拉市。医学生最不关心文化、工作安全、出行与适应以及学业上的感知支持。然而，他们最关心工作与生活的平衡、需求、财务状况以及个人和健康事务上的感知支持。
医学生对工作与生活的平衡、需求、财务状况以及个人和健康问题上的感知支持更为关注，而对文化、工作安全、出行与适应以及学业上的感知支持关注较少。在所有领域中，都存在有待改进的方面和局限性，可以在未来的研究中进一步探讨。
