This preliminary report from an ongoing longitudinal study of students at both Tufts and Harvard medical schools examined the relationship between premedical school demographic and stress variables and the numbers and types of stresses reported by students in open-ended interviews conducted during their first year of medical school. Analyses showed that the general categories of "medical school stresses" and "social stresses related to medical school" accounted for about two-thirds of the total number of stresses mentioned. The overall distributions of stresses across general categories were remarkably similar in all student groups studied, although significant differences were found between students from different background groups on a number of the specific types of stress. No significant differences were found between groups as to those reporting a high total number of stresses. There did appear to be differences in the degree to which students felt affected by the stresses they reported, suggesting the need for additional data on the meanings of different stresses for different students and the ways in which they cope with them.
这份来自塔夫茨大学和哈佛医学院正在进行的学生纵向研究的初步报告，考察了医学院预科阶段的人口统计学和压力变量，与学生在医学院第一年进行的开放式访谈中报告的压力数量及类型之间的关系。分析表明，“医学院压力”和“与医学院相关的社会压力”这两个总体类别，约占提及的压力总数的三分之二。在所有研究的学生群体中，各总体类别压力的总体分布非常相似，尽管在一些具体压力类型上，不同背景组的学生之间存在显著差异。在报告压力总数较高的学生群体之间，未发现显著差异。学生们似乎在其报告的压力对他们产生影响的程度上存在差异，这表明需要获取更多数据，了解不同压力对不同学生的意义，以及他们应对压力的方式。
