Factors on medical clerkship students' quality of life: A survey study.

Introduction: Due to the higher demand for healthcare provision in Indonesia, increasing the number of medical schools in Indonesia was highly encouraged. Meanwhile, medical students were considered a susceptible population to a variety of issues that negatively impact their quality of life (QOL) in comparison to the general community.

Objectives: The study aims to assess the QOL of Indonesian medical students during the clinical clerkship program (years 4-5) of their medical training while also exploring the association between the results and their ongoing rotation.

Methods: The survey was conducted online to 311 students at a private medical school in Jakarta using the Indonesian version of WHOQOL-BREF. Participants' characteristics, sleep duration, physical activity, and smoking history were also assessed to see if there was any association. Results: 82% of 311 registered clerkship students responded to the survey. In terms of overall QOL, being in a major department, 7-9 h of sleep duration, and owning a private vehicle increased the QOL.

Conclusion: This study suggested that medical schools' policies may consider sleep duration, travel time, transportation-related infrastructure, and social-related infrastructure to underpin students' social relationships and, afterward, improve their QOL in intangible ways.
