Abstract
Results from many studies indicate that throughout medical education students experience high levels of stress and depression. The aim of the current study was to assess and compare Bulgarian and Turkish medical students' levels of stress and depression. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 546 students (276 foreign students from Medical University – Sofia and 270 medical students from several medical universities in Ankara). The study instrument included basic socio-demographic questions, Medical Student Stressor Questionnaire (MSSQ-40 items) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Turkish medical students showed higher levels of stress and depression than foreign students from Bulgaria. We found that all types of stressors in medical students had a relationship with depression. Results of our study imply that medical students need access to psychological support throughout their education.
期刊介绍：
Medicina Social es un foro académico internacional con acceso abierto y revisión por pares destinado a la promoción y el desarrollo de la Medicina Social. La revista se escribe con la inventiva y la visión crítica y comprometida que animó a los fundadores de la Medicina Social. Para lograr esto: 1. Actuamos como foro de investigación y docencia respecto a las formas en las que los factores sociales no sólo influyen sobre la salud y la enfermedad sino que a su vez son modificados por las mismas. 2. Apoyamos los objetivos de Salud para Todos de Alma Ata y la visión holística de la salud contenida en la Carta de la OMS. 3. Producimos materiales científicamente calificados, intelectualmente honestos, libres de sesgos comerciales, claramente escritos y presentados. 4. Organizamos la revista de manera tal que refleje y apoye la diversa comunidad internacional que trabaja en el campo de la medicina social. Para realizar los objetivos de “Salud para Todos” debemos tener una revista que incluya todas las voces.
