“…Each question consists of four statements of 0–3 that the higher score indicates more intense symptom severity. [ 21 ] Taheri Tanjani et al . 's study on Iranian elderly showed that the Beck 2 questionnaire has desirable validity and reliability in the Iranian population.…”

BACKGROUND: Medical students face a variety of challenges during their years of medical education that can affect their quality of life (QOL). This study aimed to investigate the association of QOL with physical activity (PA), depression, and demographic characteristics, as well as to determine its predictors among medical students in different stages of education. METHODS: A cross-sectional descriptive-correlational study was conducted on 186 medical students of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in different educational stages including basic sciences, physiopathology, externship, and internship using stratified random sampling method. Data were collected using demographic questionnaire, International PA Questionnaire, World Health Organization QOL Questionnaire, and Beck depression inventory-2. Data analysis was performed using SPSS/Ver 23 through descriptive and analytic statistics including one-way analysis of variance, independent t -test, Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficient, and multivariate linear regression model. RESULTS: There were significant differences in total score of QOL among students in different stages ( P < 0.05). There were indirect significant correlations between total score of QOL (β [confidence interval 95%]:−0.85 [−1.11–−0.59]) and its all subdomains with Beck depression score but direct significant correlations with total PA ( P < 0.05) except for social relationship. Educational stage, employment status, family income, inhabitant, moderate PA, and depression were the predictors of QOL and altogether explained 63% of its variance. CONCLUSIONS: To pay attention to the predictors of QOL, life among medical students seems necessary for increasing their QOL to provide high-quality care for people with disabilities as well as for the whole community.

“…Desse modo, observa-se que as prevalências identificadas se assemelham ao presente estudo 1,15,16 . Já em pesquisa de Sa-Junior et al 17 , em 100 instituições de ensino superior, das 27 capitais brasileiras, com 12.711 universitários, de faixa etária entre 17 e 31 anos, mostrou que 79,9% dos participantes respondeu ter pelo menos um sintoma depressivo, ou seja, expuseram sintomas depressivos leves.…”

Objetivo: Medir a prevalência de sintomas depressivos e fatores associados em universitários.Materiais e Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo transversal, com 892 universitários de uma instituição privada do sul do Brasil. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionário autoaplicáveis, sendo o desfecho, sintomas depressivos. Realizou-se a análise descritiva e bruta, sendo calculadas razões de prevalência (RP) com respectivos intervalos de confiança (IC) de 95%. A análise ajustada ocorreu por regressão de Poisson, onde o modelo final foi construído a partir das variáveis com p≤0,20 na análise bruta. Análises estatísticas foram rodadas nos programas SPSS Data 23.0 e Stata 11.0.Resultados: A média de idade foi 24,5 anos (±6,3), predominante o sexo feminino (63,2%). Quanto ao desfecho, de modo geral, 30,8% apresentaram sintomas depressivos. A análise final apresentou associação entre o desfecho e sexo feminino (RP 1,39; IC 95% 1,09-1,76; p=0,006), ser fumante ou ex-fumante (RP 1,21; IC 95% 1,06-1,38; p=0,004), realizar dietas para perda de peso 5 vezes ou mais durante o último ano (RP 1,53; IC 95% 1,18-1,99; p=0,003), insatisfação corporal (RP 1,67; IC 95% 1,21-2,30; p=0,002) e autoestima insatisfatória (RP 2,61; IC 95% 2,14-3,18; p<0,001).Conclusão: A alta prevalência geral de sintomas depressivos (30,8%) identificada na população de acadêmicos encontra-se semelhante aos achados em estudo nacionais e internacionais. Aponta-se, como principais fatores associados ao desfecho, sexo feminino, fumante/ex-fumante, realizar dietas para perda de peso maior do que 5 vezes no último ano, apresentar insatisfação corporal e autoestima insatisfatória.

“…For example, one item lists the word "Sadness" followed by the options "I do not feel sad", "I feel sad much of the time", "I am sad all of the time", and "I am so sad or unhappy that I can't stand it". The BDI-II has been used with samples including university students (de Sá Junior et al 2018), and there is also good psychometric evidence for the use of a single general score (de Sá Junior et al 2018;Siegert et al 2009), which was used in the present study.…”

A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial for a Videoconference-Delivered Mindfulness-Based Group Intervention in a Nonclinical Setting

Technology is increasingly being integrated into the provision of therapy and mental health interventions. While the evidence base for technology-led delivery of mindfulness-based interventions is growing, one approach to understanding the effects of technology-delivered elements includes programs that retain some aspects of traditional face-to-face interaction. This arrangement offers unique practical advantages, and also enables researchers to isolate variables that may be underlying the effects of technology-delivered interventions. The present study reports on a pilot videoconference-delivered mindfulness-based group intervention offered to university students and staff members with wait-list controls. Apart from the first session of the six-week course, the main facilitator guided evening classes remotely via online videoconferencing, with follow-up exercises via email. Participants were taught a
