“…Another limitation is that our response rate was lower than we had predicted [44]. Although it is on par with other medical trainee survey studies [37], utilizing the school's student societies' listing services as a means to access our sample population may have influenced both our response rate and the types of responses we received. For instance, some students may have been more or less likely to complete the survey, and in keeping with their willingness to complete the survey, they may also have provided more or less socially desirable responses.…”

“…Similar trends in gender and distress are true of the general population; women have a higher lifetime risk of depression and anxiety than men [33]. Furthermore, female medical students more often report past history of depression than their male counterparts [37]. Several factors may explain this difference, including the multiplicity of demands within training programs, difficulty balancing intimacy and career, and/or the limited number of female models/mentors in leadership positions [17].…”

“…A high frequency of depression and poor mental health has been documented, 8,[22][23][24][25] but less is known about how depression stigma is experienced. Though methodologic variations limit interpretation, some research from both within and outside the U.S. suggests associations among gender, race, training year, depression severity, and stigma endorsement among medical students, [26][27][28][29] with stigmatizing attitudes identified as barriers to treatment seeking. 6,9,11 Stigma is regarded as a mark or flaw resulting from a personal or physical characteristic that is viewed as socially unacceptable.…”

Alta competição por resultados, muitas horas de estudo, carga horária acadêmica elevada, entre outros motivos, são apontadas como causa do elevado índice de ansiedade, pânico e depressão nos estudantes de Medicina. Avalia-se o impacto do histórico diagnosticado pelo médico dessas patologias na qualidade de vida dos estudantes de Medicina por meio de pesquisa transversal com aplicação do questionário da Organização Mundial da Saúde para avaliação da qualidade de vida -formato curto (WHOQOL-BREF), acrescido de um questionário com perguntas relacionadas a histórico de ansiedade, síndrome do pânico ou depressão anterior, religião e onde residem seus familiares em 405 alunos de Medicina da cidade de São Paulo, Brasil. Nos resultados, os alunos com histórico prévio de ansiedade, pânico ou depressão (34,57%) obtiveram pior índice de qualidade de vida demonstrado nos domínios físico, psicológico, relação social e ambiental, quando comparados ao grupo sem histórico prévio de depressão (p < 0,005). Alunos que relatam ter religião têm melhor qualidade de vida, com índices superiores no domínio psicológico (p < 0,005). Estudantes cujas famílias residem em outras cidades têm histórico mais elevado de ansiedade, síndrome do pânico ou depressão (teste exato de Fisher = 0.014). Conclusão: neste trabalho, história de ansiedade, pânico ou depressão e alunos sem religião apresentam piores índices de qualidade de vida e devem ser monitorados por programas especiais para melhorar o bem-estar, com ênfase para os alunos provenientes de outras cidades.Palavras-chave: qualidade de vida; estudantes de medicina; estresse; ansiedade; pânico; depressão; qualidade; religião; formação médica.

ABSTRACTHigh competition for results, too many study hours, courses with a huge hours total, among other reasons, are pointed out as causes for the high rate of anxiety and depression in medical students. This work aims to evaluate the impact of previous doctor-diagnosed history of anxiety, panic syndrome or depression on quality of life of medical students and religion through a cross-section study with application of the World Health Organization questionnaire to assess quality of life in its short format (WHOQOL-BREF), plus a questionnaire with questions related to the history of previous anxiety, panic syndrome or depression, religion and where their families reside in 405 medical students from São Paulo, Brazil. The results showed that students with prior history of anxiety, panic syndrome or depression diagnosed by doctors (34.57%) had lower quality of life, an index demonstrated in the four domains: physical, psychological, social and environmental, when compared to the group without prior history of depression (p <0.005). Students who have religion have better quality of life with higher rates in the psychological domain (p <0.005). Students whose families live in other cities have a higher history of depression (Fisher exact test = ...
