研究人员对来自英国三所大学的318名四年级医学生的压力水平进行了一般健康问卷调查。平均得分高于普通人群中的其他群体，估计情绪障碍的患病率为31-2%，这一比例与美国医科学生的报告相似。男女之间在压力的普遍程度和平均得分上没有差异。12名（4%）学生报告酒精摄入量高，近一半的学生在过去两年中增加了饮酒量。在回答一个关于最近压力事件的开放式问题时，最常被引用的四种类型是：与精神病患者交谈、对个人生活的影响、陈述案例、处理死亡和痛苦。与顾问的关系引发了最强烈的负面情绪，102名（34%）学生觉得这种关系特别有压力。医学生的压力应该得到承认，并试图减轻它。
Levels of stress, as measured by the general health questionnaire, were assessed in 318 medical students in their fourth year at three British universities. Mean scores were higher than those in other groups within the general population, and the estimated prevalence of emotional disturbance was 31-2%, a proportion similar to that reported in medical students in the United States. There were no differences in prevalence or in mean scores of stress between the sexes. Twelve (4%) students reported high intake of alcohol, and almost half of the students had increased their intake in the past two years. The four categories most commonly cited in answers to an open ended question on recent stressful events were talking to psychiatric patients, effects on personal life, presenting cases, and dealing with death and suffering. Relationships with consult-ants raised the strongest negative feelings, with 102 (34%) students finding these particularly stressful. Stress among medical students should be acknowledged and attempts made to alleviate it.
