该领域的研究已经确定了医学生中存在的压力和抑郁症。然而，没有其他研究指出了学习年限之间的差异。本研究旨在探讨医学生的压力与忧郁程度，并指出两者之间的关系。研究方法：这项横断面研究收集了罗马尼亚一所大学医学生在压力时期的社会人口特征、抑郁、自我识别的心理和身体症状以及感知压力的数据。使用IBM SPSS Statistics v23进行统计分析。对于比较分析，使用独立样本的t检验和单因素方差分析，对于相关性分析，使用Pearson和斯皮尔曼相关性。结果：大一学生抑郁情绪最高，毕业生压力最大。经统计学分析，压力感受平均分（M = 17.31 ± 6.79），轻中度抑郁平均分（M = 10.11 ± 7.69）。女性更容易出现抑郁症的症状。就读于第三年学习的学生是最不抑郁和压力最小的。知觉压力与忧郁呈显著正相关，与修课学分呈显著负相关。超过一半的学生在紧张的学习期间经历焦虑和酒精，咖啡，糖果或香烟消费的增加。超过60%的学生表示对自己的学业成绩感到满意。结论：降低医学生压力和抑郁水平的策略是必要的。大学新生抑郁发生率最高，心理支持和教育辅导应从入学开始。
Research in the field has identified the presence of stress and depression among medical students. However, no other study has pointed out the differences between years of study. The objectives of the study are to identify the levels of stress and depression among medical students and to point out the relationship between these two variables. Methods: The cross-sectional study gathered data regarding socio-demographic characteristics, depression, self-identified psychological and physical symptoms during stressful periods and perceived stress among medical students in a university in Romania. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics v23. For comparative analysis the t-test for independent samples and one-way ANOVA was used and for correlational analysis, Pearson and Spearman correlations was used. Results: Freshmen are the most depressed and graduating students are the most stressed medical students. Statistical analysis reveals an average score of perceived stress (M = 17.31 ± 6.79) and mild-moderate depression (M = 10.11 ± 7.69). Women are more prone to symptoms of depression. Students enrolled in the third year of study are the least depressed and the least stressed. Perceived stress is significantly positive correlated with depression and negative in strong correlation with the number of course credits received. More than half of students experience an increased rate of anxiety and consumption of alcohol, coffee, sweets or cigarettes during stressful academic periods. Over 60% declare themselves satisfied with their academic results. Conclusions: Strategies to diminish the level of stress and depression among medical students are necessary. Psychological support and educational counseling should start from admission, since freshmen experience the highest rate of depression.
