Quality of life of medical students in Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
Abstract- This study aims to investigate the quality of life (QOL) of Tehran University of Medical Sciences’ (TUMS) medical students atdifferent educational levels and specify the most important factors related to this quality. A sample of 242 medical students was selected randomly, given their number in three educational levels (basic sciences, physiopathology-stager and intern). The QOL was measured by WHOQOL-BREF. The students obtained average high score in two psychological and environmental health domains, and low score in physical health and social relationship domains. As the educational level of students increased their quality of life decreased at all four domains. At social relationship domain, the female students had overall better situation as compared to males (p=0.009). The femaleand male students had opposite condition at the level of basic sciences and internship, in a way that the female students earned higher marks at basic sciences level and the males at internship level (P= 0.008). The condition of female students in terms of environmental, physical and psychological health became static while their education rose. However, only environmental health of the male students reduced as their education level increased (P= 0.05). The students were of undesirable conditions in two domains of social relationship and physical health. Internship is a specific level in both groups which has a negative impact on the dimensions of quality of life and naturally needs more care for the students. Married status improved the students’ QOL and could moderate the undesired effects of internship. © 2014 Tehran University of Medical Sciences

The aim of this study is to determine the change in the self-rated health and quality of life of students of a school of medicine during the course of their education and the predictive factors of health and quality of life such as socioeconomic factors, health status and healthy lifestyle, social relationships and social support, and academic burden. The study is a cross-sectional study that aimed to reach the entire registered students of Manisa Celal Bayar University School of Medicine in 2016-2017. Dependent variables in this study are the overall quality of life, self-rated health and annual self-rated health transition About 10.1% of the students stated their overall quality of life as poor or very poor whereas nearly 10.9% were dissatisfied about their health and 20.3 % of them stated their current health as worse than the previous year. There is a linear trend in a year in medical school in terms of quality of life. The logistic regression Model suggested that having a non-depressed mood is the best predictor of a better quality of life. Lower BMI, being healthy, taking care of their health and having a nuclear family are found the most important variables that affect self-rated health positively. The final term students (interns) perceived the worse overall quality of life than the first and second-year students. Additionally, the majority of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th term students reported their health worse than the previous year. These facts in self-rated health and QOL may be regarded as pieces of evidence that may lead the university authorities to take measures especially in clinical terms of medical education.

Introduction: Numerous stressors influence medical students’ health and quality of life (QoL) in their clinical years. QoL can be assessed through the WHOQOL-BREF (World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument). There have been relatively fewer studies done in Malaysia, so authors undertook the research to find out the QoL of the clinical year medical students in Perak.
