Hypochondriacal fears among medical students were already investigated before the COVID pandemic. Studies on these fears under pandemic conditions and a possible influence of specific fear of illness have not yet been conducted.We asked medical students at two points in time about symptoms of hypochondria and corona anxiety. Doctors served as the comparison group. Hypochondria was assessed using the two MSD scales, corona anxiety using a separate questionnaire.Medical students exhibited significantly more hypochondriacal anxiety at both time points. At the second time point, 35.5% of students and 25.5% of doctors reported fear of contracting the virus.The time of the study did not appear to have any influence on the prevalence of the fears investigated. The influences of the measured anxiety prevalence were shown in the fact that medical students look to their professional careers with concern.
在新冠疫情之前就已经对医学生的疑病恐惧进行过调查。尚未开展关于疫情条件下这些恐惧以及特定疾病恐惧可能产生的影响的研究。我们在两个时间点询问了医学生关于疑病症和新冠焦虑的症状。医生作为对照组。使用两个医学症状评定量表评估疑病症，使用单独的问卷评估新冠焦虑。在两个时间点，医学生都表现出明显更多的疑病焦虑。在第二个时间点，35.5%的学生和25.5%的医生报告了对感染病毒的恐惧。研究时间似乎对所调查恐惧的患病率没有任何影响。所测量的焦虑患病率的影响体现在医学生对自己的职业生涯感到担忧这一事实上。
