Abstract
ABSTRACT This pilot study assessed a nine-month process group intervention led by a psychiatrist, aimed to improve grit and resilience and reduce stress in medical students. The intervention, 25 weekly sessions, involved psychoeducation and coping skills. Eight preclinical medical students participated in the group and eight students were randomly selected as controls; they did not differ significantly at baseline. Mean scores of the intervention students showed decreased stress (t = −2.32, p = .05), while mean scores of control students showed decreased resilience (t = −2.91, p = .03), indicating process groups may benefit stress and resilience in preclinical medical students.
