Factors associated with mental health and quality of life among Brazilian medical students: a three-year longitudinal study.

Background: Despite several studies on the mental health of medical students, there is insufficient research on long-term follow-ups.

Aims: To investigate the associated factors and changes in the quality of life and mental health of a group of medical students followed-up for three years.

Methods: An observational, prospective cohort study was conducted.

Mental health and quality of life across 6 years of medical training: A year-by-year analysis.

Background: Despite growing evidence on medical students' mental health deterioration, studies have primarily used short follow-up periods and not followed the students throughout their medical training.

Objective: To assess mental health (stress, anxiety, and depression) and quality of life changes throughout their medical program, we followed up with the same cohort of students for 6 years.

Methods: This longitudinal prospective study followed up with the same group of medical students at a Brazilian public medical school from 2014 to 2020.

Depression, stress and anxiety in medical students: A cross-sectional comparison between students from different semesters.

Objective: To compare the prevalence of anxiety, depression, and stress in medical students from all semesters of a Brazilian medical school and assess their respective associated factors.

Method: A cross-sectional study of students from the twelve semesters of a Brazilian medical school was carried out. Students filled out a questionnaire including sociodemographics, religiosity (DUREL - Duke Religion Index), and mental health (DASS-21 - Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale).
