目的：研究医学生的社会人口特征并评估这些学生压力症状的患病率。方法：利普成人压力症状量表（ISSL）用于评估压力症状，并通过问卷调查来确定参与者的社会人口特征。结果：200 名在塞阿拉联邦大学 (UFC) 注册、学习基础和临床课程的医学生接受了采访。参与者主要为男性 (54.5%)、单身 (100%)、出生于福塔莱萨 (87%)、平均年龄 21 岁 (SD = 2.3)。女学生的压力症状水平高于男学生，分别为 30.1% 和 19.6%（p < 0.001）。压力症状的患病率为 49.7%，就读第四学期的学生表现出最高水平的症状 (p = 0.002)。结论：结论是 UFC 医学生的压力水平与国际研究报告的相似。
OBJECTIVE: To study the social-demographic profile of Medical students and assess the prevalence of stress symptoms in these students. METHODS: The Inventory of Symptoms of Stress for Adults of Lipp (ISSL) was used to evaluate the symptoms of stress and a questionnaire was applied to identify the participants' social-demographic characteristics. RESULTS: Two hundred Medical students registered at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), taking Basic and Clinical courses, were interviewed. Participants were predominantly male (54.5%), single (100%), born in Fortaleza (87%), mean age 21 years (SD = 2.3). Female students showed higher levels of stress' symptoms than male students, 30.1% and 19.6% respectively, (p < 0.001). The prevalence of symptoms of stress was 49.7% and students attending the fourth semester showed the highest levels of symptoms (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS: The conclusion is that Medical students at UFC have levels of stress similar to those reported in international studies.
