Sociodemographic and educational factors associated with mental health disorders in medical students of clinical years: A multicenter study in Peru

“…Students who came from a national university are 10 times more likely to develop some of the mental health symptoms. The national universities in our country correspond to more than 52.5% of the 40 faculties that exist [ 14 ]. National universities have fewer student health support programs and less connectivity to Internet networks [ 59 ] which leads to maladaptation to virtual education, a situation that has led to greater stress in university students in general [ 12 ] and even greater anxiety in medical students [ 2 ].…”

“…The population consisted of students from the 3rd to 7th year (clinical years) from 24 different universities in Peru; from the three natural regions (coast, mountains, and jungle) that have a medical school [ 14 , 15 ]. The sample size was calculated with a prevalence of mental health disorders of 50.0%, a confidence level of 95%, a precision of 5%, a design effect factor of 1, and considering a infinite population which gave us a number of participants of 384, which was exceeded in our study (808 participants) [ 16 ].…”

“…The GAD-7 scale was used to assess anxiety symptoms. It consists of 7 items, with scores ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (almost every day), so that the total score ranges go from 0 to 21 and, in turn, can be classified into 4 severity groups: minimal (0-4), mild (5-9), moderate (10)(11)(12)(13)(14) and severe (14-20) [18]. The instrument has a sensitivity (89%) and specificity (82%) [19].…”
