Abstract
Objective To learn mental health, life events and stress response of immigrant medical professionals. Methods Symptom checklist (SCL-90), Life event scale (LES), and Coping questionnaire (CQ) were used for assessment. Results SCL-90 (135.95±32.56), Somatization (1.62±0.38), obsessive-compulsion (1.75±0.53), depression (1.66±0.55), anxiety (1.52±0.54), hostility (1.53±0.45), and psychoticism (1.45±0.46) were even serious in immigrant medical professionals (all P<0.05). SCL-90 factor score was positively correlated with LES total score and LES factor score (both P<0.05). However, SCL-90 factor score was negatively correlated with problem-solving and coping style score of CQ (P<0.01). Conclusion As mental health and life event responses were concerned, more attention should be paid to the immigrant medical professionals. Key words: Medical staff; Health status; Psychology
