Abstract
The high level of academic stress among medical students in the initial years of study negatively affects their health. This review aimed to analyze the data on features of a medical students’ mental status and its dynamics in the course of study. The analysis was applied to the scientific publications (mainly over the past 5 years) on the issue of academic stress and medical students’ mental status in different countries from computer databases: PubMed, Medical-Science, eLibrary, Web of Science, and Scopus. It is established that those entering medical schools are characterized by a high level of stress and anxiety, and in the first 3 years of study, their strengthening is observed. In addition, a high level of suicidality risk is noted: From 45% to 83% of the students had suicidal thoughts. The most significant stress situations for medical students are sessions and examinations. Due to the high study load and the need to prepare for classes for the following day, more than half of the students were sleep deprived (<6 h). To overcome stress, a significant part consumed alcohol and smoked tobacco, which is a risk factor of addiction. From there, medical and psychological aid should be available for medical students. It is necessary to train them in proper time management, methods of optimal self-study with educational materials as well as constructive ways to overcome stress, auto- and hetero-aggressive trends, effective conflict resolution, and relaxation methods which will keep students healthy mentally and prevent emotional burnout.
