La salud mental de estudiantes universitarios es un motivo de investigación a nivel internacional. El objetivo de este estudio fue estimar la prevalencia de ansiedad, depresión y estado de salud autopercibida de los estudiantes de medicina de la Universidad Miguel Hernández y analizar su asociación con diferentes variables sociodemográficas y del estilo de vida. Para ello, se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal de estudiantes de medicina de 1º a 6º curso de la Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche durante el curso 2019-20. Se utilizaron la Escala Visual Analógica (EVA) del European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D), la Escala de Ansiedad y Depresión de Goldberg (EADG), el estudio Prevención con Dieta Mediterránea (PREDIMED), el Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C) y el Test de Fagerström. Todos los cuestionarios están validados en España. Para el análisis se ajustaron modelos logísticos multivariantes. Fueron encuestados 474 estudiantes. La tasa de respuesta global fue del 55.26%. Un 68.1% de la muestra eran mujeres. Se estimó una prevalencia de probable ansiedad del 54.9%, probable depresión del 60.9% y probable ansiedad o depresión del 73.3%. La salud autopercibida regular-mala-muy mala fue del 8.9%. Se detectó una asociación estadísticamente significativa con el sexo, la edad, el curso académico, el municipio de residencia, el tipo de alimentación, la actividad física y el consumo de tóxicos. Como conclusión, los estudiantes de medicina de la Universidad Miguel Hernández presentaron una prevalencia alta de probable ansiedad y depresión. Se observaron diferencias en función del sexo, curso académico, tipo de alimentación y consumo de tóxicos. The mental health of university students is a reason for international research. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of anxiety, depression and self-perceived health status of medical students from the Miguel Hernandez University and analyze their association with different sociodemographic and lifestyle variables. We did a cross-sectional descriptive study of medical students from 1st to 6th year of the Miguel Hernandez University during the 2019-20 academic year. They were used the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D), the Goldberg Anxiety and Depression Scale (GADS), the Mediterranean Diet Prevention study (PREDIMED), the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C) and the Fagerström Test were used. All the questionnaires are validated in Spain. For the analysis, multivariate logistic models were adjusted. They were surveyed 474 students. The overall response rate was 55.26%. 68.1% of the sample were women. A prevalence of probable anxiety of 54.9%; probable depression of 60.9% and probable anxiety or depression of 73.3% was estimated. Regular-bad-very bad self-perceived health was only 8.9%. A statistically significant association was detected between the aforementioned variables and sex, age, academic year, municipality of residence, type of diet, physical activity and consumption of toxics. The medical students of the Miguel Hernandez University presented a high prevalence of probable anxiety and depression. Differences were observed based on sex, academic year, type of diet and consumption of toxic drugs.

O estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a associação entre o consumo de álcool e qualidade de vida em idosos. Trata-se de estudo transversal envolvendo idosos (n = 593), usuários de unidades básicas de saúde. Foram utilizados os instrumentos Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption para avaliar o consumo de álcool e World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref para avaliar a qualidade de vida. Regressão logística foi utilizada para verificar associação entre consumo de álcool e variáveis independentes; e técnica de análise de agrupamentos para análise de possíveis grupos homogêneos entre idosos com rastreamento positivo para alcoolismo e qualidade de vida. Foi encontrado prevalência de consumo de bebida alcóolica de 8,9%. As variáveis escore Qualidade de Vida Geral < 60, depressão e faixa etária 70 a 79 anos mantiveram associação significativa com o desfecho. Obteve-se dois grupos homogêneos distintos dispostos em cinco subgrupos. Estratégias de enfrentamento devem ser contempladas nos planos de ações das políticas públicas e alerta metodológico na forma de expor a variável alcoolismo é necessário.

Abstract Background It has been previously shown that a high percentage of medical students have sleep problems that interfere with academic performance and mental health. Methods To study the impact of sleep quality, daytime somnolence, and sleep deprivation on medical students, we analyzed data from a multicenter study with medical students in Brazil (22 medical schools, 1350 randomized medical students). We applied questionnaires of daytime sleepiness, quality of sleep, quality of life, anxiety and depression symptoms and perception of educational environment. Results 37.8% of medical students presented mild values of daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale - ESS) and 8.7% presented moderate/severe values. The percentage of female medical students that presented ESS values high or very high was significantly greater than male medical students (p <  0.05). Students with lower ESS scores presented significantly greater scores of quality of life and perception of educational environment and lower scores of depression and anxiety symptoms, and these relationships showed a dose-effect pattern. Medical students reporting more sleep deprivation showed significantly greater odds ratios of presenting anxiety and depression symptoms and lower odds of good quality of life or perception of educational environment. Conclusions There is a significant association between sleep deprivation and daytime sleepiness with the perception of quality of life and educational environment in medical students.

Background: Quality of life of medical students may influenced by different socio-demographic components and disrupt their capability to study medicine. An in-depth exploration of these elements may encourage enhancement in learning and retention of medical students. Aim: This study was designed to identify the role of socio-demographic factors in quality of life in undergraduate medical students. Material and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 223 undergraduate medical students (male = 125, females = 98) at King Faisal University, Saudi Arabia between February and September 2019. An Arabic version of WHOQOL-BREF was used to explore the QOL of medical students. Regression analysis were employed to evaluate association between QOL and socio-demographic factors including age, sex, academic year, family type, area of residence, monthly income, parental education and housing status. Result: The results showed a significant relationship between various socio-demographic variables and quality of life. The findings of the study revealed that gender, academic year, marital status, monthly income and family type were found significant predictors of quality of life among medical students. Conclusion: The present study has explored the impact of socio-demographic factors on the quality of life of medical students. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.20(2) 2021 p.250-257
