Qualidade de Vida e Vulnerabilidade ao Stress nos alunos do 6º Ano do MIM da FCS da UBI

Abstract

ResumoIntrodução: A perceção de qualidade de vida e vulnerabilidade ao stress psicológico dos finalistas de Medicina necessitam ser estudadas, para atuação nos determinantes de piores qualidade de vida e maior vulnerabilidade ao stress.Materiais e Métodos: Estudo observacional em dezembro de 2015 na Faculdade de Ciências da Saúde da Covilhã, por instrumento contendo EQ-5D e EQ-VAS, 23-QVS e inventário epidemiológico.Resultados: População de 126 e amostra de 108 (85,7%) estudantes, idade média 24,2 ± 2,3 (22 a 37) anos, 69,4% do sexo feminino. Médias: EQ-5D de 1,12±0,18 e 23-QVS de 32,53±12,11. Boa qualidade de vida em 57,4% e vulnerabilidade ao stress em 20,4%. Pior estado de saúde associado a maior vulnerabilidade ao stress na "Inibição e dependência funcional" (r = 0.529; p <0.001) e no 23-QVS total (r = 0.521; p <0.001). Dificuldades financeiras determinam maior vulnerabilidade ao stress (p <0.001) e pior estado de saúde, EQ-5D (p = 0.011). Maior preocupação com o futuro gera significativa vulnerabilidade ao stress (p <0.001) e pior estado de saúde com EQ-5D (p <0.001). Coeficientes de correlação entre dimensões 23-QVS com EQ-5D e EQ-VAS são todos significativos (p <0,05). Abstract Introduction: The perception of quality of life and psychological stress vulnerability of final-year medical students are dimensions that need further evaluation and understanding to inform interventions to enhance quality of life and decrease stress susceptibility. Material and Methods: Observational study conducted in December (2015) at Health Sciences Faculty of Beira Interior University, through application of EQ-5D index, 23-QVS scale and epidemiological survey.Results: Population of 126 students and a sample of 108 (85, 7%), mean age 24, 2 ± 2, 3 (22-37) years, 69, 4% female. Mean EQ-5D index of 1, 12 ± 0, 18 and 23-QVS of 32, 53 ± 12, 11. Good Quality of Life for 57, 4% and stress vulnerability for 20, 4%. Worse quality of life is associated with greater vulnerability to psychological stress on the "Inhibition and functional dependence" dimension (r = 0,529, p <0,001) and total 23-QVS (r = 0,521, p <0,001). Financial difficulties increase stress vulnerability (p <0.001) and poorer health status, EQ-5D (p = 0,011). More concern about the future creates significant stress vulnerability (p <0,001) and worse health status with EQ-5D (p <0,001). Correlation coefficients between 23 QVS dimensions with EQ-5D and EQ-VAS are all significant (p <0, 05).

Comparing Empathy in Medical Students of two Portuguese Medicine Schools

“…Empathy is positively influenced by quality of life and negatively by fatigue, stress, and burnout for studies carried out in both universities that partook in this study showed that, FCS-UBI students have a better quality of life and are less vulnerable to stress and fatigue 29,30 .…”

“…The impact of this difference desearves future studies comparing with the strutcture of medical tutors. Sudent's satisfaction: A student's opinions pool, found out that FMUC was the national Medical school with the worst level of overall satisfaction and clinical teaching and study conditions, whereas FCS-UBI had the highest levels 29 .…”
