          Zusammenfassung

          Hintergrund

          Die Studienzeit ist eine Phase, in der die jungen Erwachsenen mit spezifischen Anforderungen konfrontiert werden. Studierende der Medizin gelten als besonders psychisch belastet. Untersuchungen, in denen sie diesbezüglich mit Studienfächern der gleichen Branche verglichen werden, sind jedoch rar.

          Fragestellung

          Ziel der Untersuchung war es, die psychische Gesundheit von Medizinstudierenden sowie von Gesundheits- und Pflegemanagementstudierenden zu untersuchen und zu vergleichen.

          Material und Methoden

          Untersucht wurden Studierende der Studiengänge Gesundheits- sowie Pflegemanagement (WHZ) und Medizinstudierende der (TU Dresden). Verschiedene Aspekte psychischer Gesundheit wurden mithilfe eines Online-Fragebogens erhoben. Dieser beinhaltete die Instrumente zur Erfassung der Prüfungsängstlichkeit (TAI-G-Kurzskala) und psychischen Belastung (BSI-18), sowie ein Item zur Ermittlung der subjektiv wahrgenommenen Studienbelastung. 258 Studierende nahmen an der Befragung teil.

          Ergebnisse

          Es konnten keine signifikanten Unterschiede hinsichtlich des Gesamtscores der Prüfungsängstlichkeit und der psychischen Belastung zwischen den Studierenden beider Studienfächer festgestellt werden. Dahingegen gaben Medizinstudierende an, dass sie im Vergleich zu Studierenden der anderen beiden Studienfächer eine signifikant höhere Studienbelastung wahrnehmen.

          Schlussfolgerung

          Die ermittelten Gesamtscores lagen teilweise über den Werten in vergleichbaren Studien. Die Studierenden sollten bereits präventiv unterstützt werden, um eigene Bewältigungsstrategien zu entwickeln. Nicht nur die Bereitstellung von Hilfen ist notwendig, sondern vielmehr das aktive Eingreifen mithilfe von gesundheitsfördernden Maßnahmen durch die Institution Hochschule, in die die Studierenden frühzeitig integriert werden sollten.

          Abstract

          Background

          Studying at a university is a phase in life in which young adults are confronted with specific requirements. Medical students are considered to be particularly psychologically burdened. However, investigations comparing medical students with students of subjects in the same branch of industry are rare.

          Objectives

          The aim of the study was to examine and compare the mental health of medical students as well as of nursing administration and health care management students.

          Materials and methods

          Nursing administration and health care management students of the University of Applied Sciences Zwickau (WHZ) and medical students of the University of Technology Dresden (TU Dresden) were included. Various aspects of mental health were surveyed using an online questionnaire, which included the measuring instruments TAI‑G, BSI-18 and to determine the subjectively perceived burden of the study. In all, 258 students participated in the survey.

          Results

          No significant differences with regard to the total score of test anxiety and psychological symptoms could be found between the two student groups. However, medical students indicated that they perceived a significantly higher study burden compared to the nursing administration and health care management students.

          Conclusions

          The total scores were partly higher than scores presented in comparable studies. The students should receive preventive support in order to develop their own coping strategies. Not only the provision of help is necessary, but also active intervention with the help of health-promoting and preventive measures from the universities. Students should be integrated into these measures at an early stage.

              The prevalence and correlates of depression, anxiety, and stress in a sample of college students.

              Over the past four years, the Franciscan University Counseling Center has reported a 231% increase in yearly visits, as well as a 173% increase in total yearly clients. This trend has been observed at many universities as mental health issues pose significant problems for many college students. The objective of this study was to investigate potential correlates of depression, anxiety, and stress in a sample of college students.
