Facebook stress management group for Year 1 medical students

摘要

What problems were addressed? Stress and depression are major problems for medical students, who experience higher risk for suicide ideation, suicide and burnout, and lower quality of life than age-matched populations. Such negative emotions can have an adverse impact on learning, lead to deleterious coping methods such as alcoholism and drug use, deplete student self-care habits, and increase risk for emotional illness.
