Abstract Background: A broad range of high-quality studies show that medical students often have a significantly deteriorated mental health status. Although starting medical school with values comparable to the population average, only a few semesters later, medical undergraduates show increased rates of psychological risk states and some manifest mental illnesses, such as burnout and depression. In our survey we intentionally assessed mental health parameters from a salutogenetic, i.e. resource-oriented point of view. Methods: We examined first-year medical students in a cross-sectional study and assessed sense of coherence (SOC) and resilience as parameters from the salutogenesis model by Antonovsky in a structured way using validated, self-administered questionnaires. In total, we examined 236 students of human medicine, dentistry and molecular medicine at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU).Results: Our analyses showed significantly higher values of resilience among male students compared to female students. In contrast, even though a significant correlation between resilience and SOC was observed, only a non-significantly lower value of SOC was found in female students. Compared to the population average our medical students in their first year of study showed significantly lower values for resilience and SOC. Conclusion: Resilience and SOC are known to correlate with psychological stress (burnout parameters) and depression. In order to keep protective factors like SOC and resilience in medical students at a good and healthy level we see the necessity to address that problem proactively and also from the teaching side. Integrating training focused on the preservation of the students´ own mental health into the medical curriculum from the beginning of university courses, and throughout the whole medical study course, is essential and should be an obligatory training goal. Based on our study results, we also deem it necessary to think about ways to adapt the measures for the gender-specific needs of our students, e.g. dependent on their biological gender.

RESUMENEl sentido de coherencia conduce a evaluar las circunstancias de la vida como significativas, predecibles y manejables por lo que está considerando como una fuente que reduce el estrés y promociona la vida saludable. Por otro lado, las múltiples demandas que se plantean a los estudiantes en su periodo universitario pueden desencadenar estrés. Con este estudio hemos querido averiguar si el sentido de coherencia está relacionado con el cansancio emocional. Los participantes fueron 960 estudiantes universitarios (muestreo accidental), siendo el 81% mujeres. Respondieron a dos cuestionarios de autoinforme (el Cuestionario de Sentido de Coherencia SOC-13 y la Escala de Cansancio Emocional ECE). Se realizaron análisis de correlación y la prueba t de Student para averiguar las diferencias entre grupos. Las mujeres puntúan más alto que los hombres en cansancio emocional y los alumnos de tercero presentan mayores niveles de sentido de coherencia que los de primer curso. Los estudiantes con niveles altos de sentido de coherencia poseen niveles bajos de cansancio emocional, por lo que sería conveniente diseñar y poner en marcha estrategias para aumentar el sentido de coherencia disminuyendo así el cansancio emocional.ABSTRACTThe sense of coherence helps us view life events as significant, predictable, and manageable and it is thus thought to reduce stress and promote health. In contrast, the multiple demands faced by university students can trigger stress. In this study, we aimed to determine if the sense of coherence was related to emotional exhaustion. Participants were 960 university students (convenience sampling), 81% were women. They completed two self-report questionnaires: the SOC-13 Sense of Coherence Questionnaire and the Emotional Exhaustion Scale. We did correlation analyses and the Student’s t test to detect differences between groups. Women scored higher than men in emotional exhaustion. The third year students achieved higher scores in sense of coherence than first year students. Students with high scores in sense of coherence showed low levels of emotional exhaustion. These results indicate that it would be useful to design and implement strategies that help increase the sense of coherence and therefore reduce emotional exhaustion in university students.
