Despite recent increases in the number of women medical students, feelings of loneliness may continue to exist more among female than male students. The purpose of this study was to examine feelings of isolation with regard to the students' perceptions of the medical school environment, the local community, and the potential value of student support services. Questionnaire data obtained from 97.8 percent of the potential respondents indicated that females, in comparison with males, reported more feelings of isolation, found the community less apt to meet their needs, and expressed more negative reaction to sexist humor. Although few significant differences were found with regard to marital status, the patterns of responses showed that married women may experience more loneliness in medical school than single women. The results establish a need for continued attention to the feelings of loneliness in women medical students.
尽管最近医学院女学生的数量有所增加，但孤独感可能在女学生中比男学生中更持续地存在。本研究的目的是根据学生对医学院环境、当地社区以及学生支持服务潜在价值的认知来考察孤独感。从97.8%的潜在受访者那里获得的问卷调查数据表明，与男性相比，女性报告有更多的孤独感，发现社区不太能满足她们的需求，并且对性别歧视性幽默表现出更多负面反应。虽然在婚姻状况方面几乎没有发现显著差异，但回答模式表明，已婚女性在医学院可能比单身女性经历更多的孤独。研究结果表明需要持续关注医学院女学生的孤独感。
