目的了解土耳其安塔利亚医学生本科教育期间的心理变化。本文介绍了第一年的随访结果。设计所有一年级的本科生都接受了详细的自我报告问卷调查，另一名本科生在第二年接受了调查。采用一般健康问卷(GHQ)、斯皮尔伯格状态-特质焦虑量表(STAI)和贝克抑郁量表(BDI)对1996年在土耳其安塔利亚阿克德尼兹大学的医学、经济、体育专业本科生进行心理测试。使用GHQ，在不同的截止分数下，二年级医学生得分超过阈值的百分比高于经济学和体育专业的学生。此外，医学生的一些应激性生活事件得分从一年级到二年级呈显著上升趋势。多元回归分析表明，一些与社会活动相关的应激性生活事件与医学生心理测试成绩有关。结论医学生的心理健康状况有所下降。学生在社会活动中的一些不足可能在这种类型的干扰中起到了作用。
Objective To assess psychological changes in medical students in Antalya, Turkey during their undergraduate education. The first-year follow-up outcomes are presented in this article.Design All first-year undergraduate students were given a detailed, self-report questionnaire and another in the second year. They were asked to complete the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).Setting The Faculties of Medicine, Economics and Physical Education (PE) of the Akdeniz University, Antalya, Turkey.Participants All first-year undergraduate students in the Faculties of Medicine, Economics and PE who were registered in 1996.Results The findings showed that psychological test scores on the GHQ, the STAI and the BDI rose significantly in medical students between the first and second years. Using the GHQ, with different cut-off scores, the percentage of students scoring above the thresholds was higher in medical students in year 2, compared with economics and PE students. In addition, the scores for some stressful life events of medical students showed a significant rise from year 1 to year 2. Multiple regression analyses indicated that some stressful life events related to social activities were associated with the psychological test scores for medical students.Conclusion The results indicate that there is a decrease in the psychological health of first-year medical students. Some inadequacies in the social activities of the students might play a role in this type of disturbance.
