“…Devido ao alto grau de conflitos presentes no curso em função do convívio constante com a morte, a dor e o sofrimento, a educação médica produz estresse em níveis que podem ser prejudicais ao bem-estar físico e psicológico do estudante 11 . Tais conflitos estão vinculados, também, às expectativas que os alunos têm ao ingressarem no curso.…”

Este trabalho objetivou conhecer as situações que se apresentam ao estudante de Medicina como angustiantes durante a sua formação e os fatores que ele identifica como originários desse sentimento. Foi empregada uma abordagem etnográfica, utilizando-se entrevistas semi-estruturadas, observação e grupos de discussão. Os dados foram analisados por meio de Análise de Conteúdo. Os alunos identificaram a dissociação entre o ciclo básico e o profissionalizante como responsável pela angústia suscitada em face do primeiro contato com o paciente, além de apresentarem estresse psicológico por terem que trabalhar com a dor e o sofrimento. Os discentes identificaram, também, como fator estressante o fato de que sua aprendizagem implica a utilização de outro ser humano. Além disso, em algumas situações, a dificuldade de relacionamento com os professores é apontada como geradora de angústia.

“…Within this context, stress plays a major role in this interrelationship, most likely stemming from the frequent exposure to pain, suffering and death. 7 The high levels of stress in medical students are important predictors of anxiety and depression. 8,9 In fact, health, work and quality of life are intrinsically linked, where higher levels of stress lead to a decline in quality of life due to demotivation, irritation, depression, and unhappy personal life, impacting interaction of the individuals at different points in their life.…”

Depression, stress anD anxiety in meDical stuDents: a cross-sectional comparison between stuDents from Different semesters rev assoc Med Bras 2017; 63 (1) Objective: To compare the prevalence of anxiety, depression, and stress in medical students from all semesters of a Brazilian medical school and assess their respective associated factors. Method: A cross-sectional study of students from the twelve semesters of a Brazilian medical school was carried out. Students filled out a questionnaire including sociodemographics, religiosity (DUREL -Duke Religion Index), and mental health (DASS-21 -Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale). The students were compared for mental health variables (Chi-squared/ANOVA). Linear regression models were employed to assess factors associated with DASS-21 scores.Results: 761 (75.4%) students answered the questionnaire; 34.6% reported depressive symptomatology, 37.2% showed anxiety symptoms, and 47.1% stress symptoms. Significant differences were found for: anxiety -ANOVA: [F = 2.536, p=0.004] between first and tenth (p=0.048) and first and eleventh (p=0.025) semesters; depression -ANOVA: [F = 2.410, p=0.006] between first and second semesters (p=0.045); and stress -ANOVA: [F = 2.968, p=0.001] between seventh and twelfth (p=0.044), tenth and twelfth (p=0.011), and eleventh and twelfth (p=0.001) semesters. The following factors were associated with (a) stress: female gender, anxiety, and depression; (b) depression: female gender, intrinsic religiosity, anxiety, and stress; and (c) anxiety: course semester, depression, and stress. Conclusion: Our findings revealed high levels of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms in medical students, with marked differences among course semesters. Gender and religiosity appeared to influence the mental health of the medical students.

“…Different stress management techniques such as meditation, support groups, games etc., help in better adoption of coping skills, improved knowledge of stress and enhanced ability to resolve conflicts (Shapiro et al, 2000). "Stress management" and "Time management" taught along with first and second year curricula may assist students in dealing with stress due to study loads (Lee & Graham, 2001). Health education programs, mentorship and extracurricular activities can be important strategies to enable undergraduates cope better with the demands of this tertiary level of education.…”
