Anxiety and Coping Attitudes in Medical School Students During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Aim: The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic process has affected individuals of all ages, from children to the elderly, both physically and mentally. This study aimed to determine the anxiety levels and coping attitudes of Medical Faculty students during the COVID-19 pandemic period. Material and Methods: A personal information form (containing questions about COVID-19), the State Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Coping Strategies Scale were applied online to the students (n=186) who volunteered to participate in the study, studying at the Faculty of Medicine. The scores of the scales were evaluated statistically. Results: The study included 186 participants consisting of 57% (n=106) females and 43% (n=80) males. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between trait anxiety scale score and emotion focused scale score (r=0.151 p=0.040). A statistically significant positive correlation was found between trait anxiety scale score and dysfunctional coping scale score (r=0.455 p<0.001). According to the simple linear regression analysis, a 1-unit increase in the trait anxiety scale score increased the dysfunctional coping scale score by 0.35 units. Conclusion: As seen in our study, an increase in anxiety levels leads to dysfunctional coping attitudes. Dysfunctional coping attitudes are among the reasons that lead people to mental illnesses. Therefore, goals should be determined to reduce the anxiety levels of future physicians and to increase their functional coping attitudes.

Hubungan Tingkat Stres Dalam Belajar Terhadap Kejadian Akne Vulgaris Pada Mahasiswa/I Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Tarumanagara Angkatan 2018

Introduction: Acne vulgaris is an inflammation of the pilosebaceous follicles that begins to appear when a person reaches adolescence. There are several risk factors that can affect the onset of acne vulgaris such as genetics, hormones, weather, food, cosmetics, P.acnes bacterial infection, and stress. Stress can trigger an increase in androgen hormones that affect the increase in sebum production. Increased sebum can inhibit sebum secretion in pilosebaceous follicles and cause inflammation. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between stress in learning and the incidence of acne vulgaris. Methods: The research method used is a cross-sectional analytic study with a total sample of 71 people. Data was collected by distributing questionnaires and observing facial photographs. Research data analysis using SPSS. Results: 49 (69%) female respondents and 22 (31%), majority 53 (74.6%) respondents experienced moderate stress. Based on the assessment of Plewig and Kligman, it was found that most respondents had AV degree 1 as many as 57 (80.3%). The results obtained p value = 0.001 (p < 0.050) Discussion: Medical faculty students have a high-stress level which impacts their physical and mental health. Stress can worsen acne by increasing the secretion of androgen hormones and can cause sebaceous gland hyperplasia Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the level of stress in learning with the incidence of acne vulgaris in students of the Faculty of Medicine, Tarumanagara University Class 2018.

The outbreak of the coronavirus has had an impact on people's lives. COVID-19 not only has an impact on health but also on the economy, education, social and security. A lot of COVID-19 hoax information circulating on social media can confuse the public (infodemic). Infodemic leads to excessive information related to COVID-19 that can interfere with finding solutions and not necessarily valid information content. This study aims to determine the relationship between exposure to COVID-19 infodemic and compliance with the application of health protocols in Udayana University Medical Faculty students. This research is a quantitative analytic study with a cross sectional study approach which obtained 236 respondents. Based on the results of the study, most of the women (70.34%), reside in Denpasar (33.90%), the PSSKPD study program (38.56%) and the 2019 batch (53.81%). In addition, respondents also access information well through social media (94.07%), have a positive attitude in receiving COVID-19 information (69.92%), have a positive perception of COVID-19 information (67.37%) so that respondents were not exposed to COVID-19 hoaxes (58.47%) and respondents were obedient in implementing health procedures (75%). In this study, gender characteristics had a relationship with health care adherence (p=0.002). Likewise, access to information (p=0.026) and perception of COVID-19 information (p=0.045) had a relationship with health care compliance. Therefore, it is expected to use FK's social media to provide positive information, especially regarding COVID-19 and urge students to follow all FK's social media.

Evaluation of Child Development Knowledge Among Medical Students

Objective: With the developments in the world, a significant decrease in the death rates of chronic or fatal diseases causes the problems that affect the development of children to be seen more frequently. Physicians must be aware of the basic developmental stages and information of children during medical education for early diagnosis and intervention. This study aimed to determine the knowledge of medical students about child development. Material and Methods: A total of 482 3rd and 4th-year medical faculty students who did not take the Developmental Pediatrics lecture in the Department of Pediatrics of İnönü University Faculty of Medicine between 2018 and 2019 were included in the study. Our study included socio-demographic information and questions on “Caregiver Knowledge of Child Development Inventory”. Results: 227 (47.09%) 3rd year and 255 (52.90%) 4th-year students were included in the study. The mean Caregiver Knowledge of Child Development Inventory total score was 14.44±5.89 for 3rd-year students and 16.10 ± 5.90 for 4th-year students. More than 50% of the third and fourth year students answered 5 of the 10 questions in the developmental skills component section correctly. It was observed that the developmental skills and stimulation component knowledge of the third and fourth year medical students were not sufficient. It was also understood that the general pediatrics courses given in the third year did not increase the knowledge of the fourth year students about child development. Conclusion: Evaluating the child development knowledge of medical students is important for interventions and studies to ensure that medical students are familiar with and detect developmental delays in infancy and early childhood.

Contamination of Clinical White Coats with Potential Pathogens and their Antibiotic Resistant Phenotypes Among a Group of Sri Lankan Medical Students

Background: Clinical white coats worn by the medical students can be contaminated at hospitals and act as a potential reservoir for pathogens including antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This study aimed to identify the contamination rates of clinical white coats worn by medical students with selected potential pathogens and their antibiotic resistant phenotypes. Methods: A cross-sectional study was done among 151 4th year medical students of Faculty of Medicine, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka in September 2020. The participants belonged to two batches undergoing clinical training at two settings. Swabs from pockets and sleeves of the clinical white coats were taken. Potential pathogens and their resistant phenotypes were identified with routine tests. Results: Fifty-three participants (35.1%) had coats contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus; 15 (9.9%) had coats contaminated with Methicillin-Resistant S.aureus (MRSA). One Enterobacterales (0.7%) was an AmpC producer. Enterococcus species were isolated from 19 (12.6%) coats and 2 (1.3%) had coats contaminated with vancomycin resistant enterococci. Molecular testing on the MRSA isolates identified that 5(20%) of the MRSA isolates were PVL positive while all were mecA positive. Sex, type of clinical appointment, and frequency of washing white coats were not associated with contamination. The “batch” was significantly associated with contamination with S.aureus and Enterococcus species. Conclusions: We found that clinical white coats worn by medical students recruited for the study were contaminated with S.aureus, MRSA and Enterococcus species. There was a notably high-rate of contamination with S. aureus. All MRSA isolates were mecA positive while the rate of PVL positivity was low.

Do Medical Universities Students Use Cognitive Enhancers while Learning?-Conclusions from the Study in Poland.

Stress and everyday problems may impact memory and cognition. Therefore, many people use cognitive enhancers (CEs), sold for prescription, as over-the-counter drugs, or dietary supplements, believing they may help with everyday functioning. Our study was designed to answer whether taking CEs is common among Medical University students and to identify which substances are mainly used. An anonymous online questionnaire was answered by 479 students of Medical (88%) and Dentistry (12%) Faculties in Poland. Women constituted the majority of respondents (63%). CEs were used by 53% of respondents, with the most frequent being caffeine, ginseng, nicotine, theanine, ginkgo, and lecithin. Some persons used CEs that are available only with a prescription. The most important reasons for the use of CEs were to increase arousal and improve concentration (mentioned by 81% and 73%, respectively). Over 65% of students experienced some undesired/adverse effects after taking CEs, with tachycardia being the most common, followed by sleep disturbances (reported by 51% and 40%, respectively). More than half of the respondents from the Medical and Dentistry Faculties reported using CEs, despite their unproven efficacy and not-well-established safety. This raises significant concern about the knowledge of young persons regarding CEs and should encourage universities to undertake educational actions.

FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG BERHUBUNGAN DENGAN HEALTH SEEKING BEHAVIOUR PADA GEJALA DEMAM DI MAHASISWA ANGKATAN TAHUN 2019 DAN 2020 FAKULTAS KEDOKTERAN UNIVERSITAS ISLAM AL-AZHAR

Background: Health-seeking behavior is the behavior of an individual who is experiencing health problems to obtain treatment so that the health problems experienced are cured or reduced. A person's decision to seek treatment is very likely to be influenced by various factors such as individual, environmental, cultural factors, to perceptions of their health problems. The search for treatment needs to be carried out starting from underlying health problems such as fever symptoms to severe health problems. The health belief model is a concept commonly used to find out an individual's perception of whether or not they accept their health condition. The four main variables in the concept of the health belief model are perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers. Objective: To determine the factors associated with Health-seeking behavior in symptoms of fever in students of the Faculty of Medicine, Al-Azhar Islamic University, class of 2019 and 2020. Methods: Observational analytic quantitative study with a cross-sectional study design. The sampling technique was determined by random sampling method and the samples in this study were students of the Al-Azhar Islamic University Medical Faculty in 2019 and 2020. The data obtained was analyzed by the Chi Square test with a significance value (p ≤ 0.05). Results: Of the 120 research samples, 79.17% of students who sought treatment when suffering from fever symptoms had 43.4% perceived susceptibility, 30.8% perceived severity, 85.8% perceived benefits, and 14.5% perceived barriers. Obtained p value = 0.705 (p <0.05) for the relationship between perceived susceptibility and health-seeking behavior, p = 0.014 (p <0.05) for the relationship between perceived severity and health-seeking behavior, p = 0.952 (p <0, 05) for the relationship between perceived benefits and health-seeking behavior, and p = 0.000 (p <0.05) for the relationship between perceived barriers and health-seeking behavior. Conclusion: The results of the bivariate test show that perceived severity and perceived barriers in college students are significantly related to treatment-seeking behavior. Meanwhile, students' perceived susceptibility and perceived benefits statistically did not have a significant relationship to health-seeking behavior in students in the 2019 and 2020 batches of the Faculty of Medicine, Al-Azhar Islamic University.

Depression, anger and coping strategies of students in polish medical faculties

IntroductionStress related to high expectations towards students, a large amount of knowledge necessary to assimilate in a brief period of time, and peer pressure are an important factor in the deterioration of the mental state of medical students. As a consequence, it can lead to burnout and even the development of mental disorders such as depression. Mechanisms of coping with difficulties play an extremely important role in moderating this risk. For this reason, it was of the interest what strategies medical students adopt in the face of everyday stress and how it affects their well-being and functioning.ObjectivesThe objective was to determine how medical studies impact mental health of students and what coping strategies are used by them to mitigate the negative influence of stress associated with high expectations, peer pressure and overwork.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among students of polish medical faculties using an online questionnaire. Risk of depression was assessed using validated BDI inventory, aggression using STAXI inventory and evaluation of coping strategies was conducted with Brief-COPE inventory.ResultsStudy was conducted among 329 participants. The majority of respondents were female (71.4%; n=235) and average age in the whole population equaled 22.46 years (95%CI: 22.1-23.01). There was no statistically significant difference in age between females and males. Average outcome in BDI equaled 13.84 (95%CI: 12.8-14.8) with higher levels among females (13.84 vs. 12 p<0.05). 165 (49.6%) students had a score above threshold for the increased risk of depression while 32 (9.63%) for severe symptoms of it. In case of aggression average outcome of STAXI equaled 24.89 (95%CI: 22.6-27.1). There was a statistically significant correlation between STAXI and BDI (r=0.3; p<0.05). In terms of the coping mechanisms in terms of coping strategies, a clear advantage of approach strategies was observed (65.36% of respondents). In the multiple regression analyses coping strategies did not influence neither STAXI nor BDI outcomes.ConclusionsWhat draws attention are the high level of depression among the surveyed students, where over 50% show results above the cut-off point for an increased risk of a depressive episode. The advantage of approach strategies is also interesting, especially in terms of planning strategies and positive reformulation. Interestingly coping strategies in the analysed population did not constitute a significant protective factor in relation to the severity of the depressive symptoms and agression. Meanwhile, the sense of satisfaction and contentment with the chosen direction was a very good protective factor in terms of the severity of depressive symptoms.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

The beliefs of medical faculty students about thirdhand smoke.

Thirdhand smoke is the toxic remnant, including pollutants and by-products, of tobacco smoke that remains in the environment after the use of tobacco products. This study aimed to evaluate the relationships between the demographic characteristics and the beliefs about thirdhand smoke of medical faculty students. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 392 medical faculty students at Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University. All the participants completed the Beliefs About ThirdHand Smoke (BATHS) questionnaire. Demographic data such as age, gender, year of study, family income level, and place of residence were recorded and evaluated together with tobacco product usage status. Factors (demographic data such as gender) affecting the BATHS scale and sub-scales were analyzed using SPSS software. The study included 392 medical students. The students comprised 59.7% females and 40.3% males. The students had never used tobacco products (68.1%), 13% were previous users, and 18.9% were active users. The majority of the students stated that thirdhand smoke was harmful to the health of children (90%) and adults (85%) and that thirdhand smoke could remain in a room for days (79%). When the relationships were evaluated between the BATHS scale overall and the health and permanence subscales, and the demographic characteristics of the students, no statistically significant difference was determined according to gender, place of residence, family income level, and tobacco use status. This study has provided information for the first time about the beliefs of medical faculty students about thirdhand smoke, and the relationships were investigated between these beliefs and gender, place of residence, family income level, and tobacco use status. The results of the study demonstrated that the students had a strong awareness of the harm of thirdhand smoke and of environmental permanence, and these beliefs did not change according to their own tobacco use status.

Knowledge levels and attitudes of medical faculty students related to whole body donation in Türkiye

BackgroundCadaver is a very important educational material for medical faculty students, students of health sciences, residents of any specialty in medicine and specialists. In developed countries, cadavers are mainly obtained by individual donations. However, like in other developing or underdeveloped countries, whole-body donations for cadaveric use in Türkiye are extremely scarce. This study sought to investigate the knowledge and awareness levels of medical faculty students about body donation and the factors that might influence their attitudes to body donation. The aim of the study is, with the results of the questionnaire, to raise public awareness for whole-body donation by creating public spots and by giving place in the official website of the Ministry of Health and make medical faculties to put lectures about body donation and its importance into their anatomy curriculum. MethodsA 31-item questionnaire with close-ended statements was administered to 291 students at Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty. ResultsOnly two of the participants (0.7%) stated that they had already donated their bodies to be used as a cadaver. Of note, those who reported considering whole body donation had higher maternal education levels (p = 0.002). The presence or absence of religious belief and the degree of religiosity were also significant factors, for significantly higher rates of non-believers and those who defined themselves as having a low degree of religiosity were in favor of body donation (p < 0.0001). ConclusionsAccording to the religion of Islam, we should inform the relevant media that there is no harm in donating a body. In addition, considering the effect of mother's education level on the decisions of young people on this issue, we can state that we see once again how important women's education is in order to make progress in every field.
