“…For instance, Chai, Krageloh, Shepherd, and Billington (2012) reported that religious coping was predictive of improved social and psychological quality of life in Asian students residing in New Zealand. Also, in a qualitative study of older Chinese Americans, Lee and Chan (2009) reported that religious coping was a crucial component of effective coping for this pop ulation.…”

The authors examined the moderating role of positive and negative religious coping in the relation between racism and psychological well-being in a sample of Catholic and Protestant Asian American college students (N = 107). On the basis of prior theorizing on the 2 types of religious coping, combined with some limited empirical evidence, they predicted that positive religious coping would have a buffering effect (Hypothesis 1) on the racism-mental health relation and that negative religious coping would have an exacerbating effect (Hypothesis 2). Participants completed an online survey containing measures corresponding to the study variables. Results indicated that the interaction between positive religious coping and racism was nonsignificant, so Hypothesis 1 was not supported. For Hypothesis 2, the negative religious coping and racism interaction term was statistically significant, but the moderating effect was in an unexpected direction, such that negative religious coping actually protected against the deleterious impact of racism on mental health. The findings suggest that the theorized deleterious influence of negative religious coping may need to be reconsidered in an Asian American setting. The findings have the potential to inform practitioners who work with Asian American college students to better cope with the detrimental consequences of racism.

“…Dalam menjalankan studinya, mahasiswa harus beradaptasi dengan sistem pendidikan, metode belajar, dan keterampilan sosial yang sangat berbeda dengan tingkat pendidikan sebelumnya (Khoo, Abu-rasain, & Hornby dalam Chai, 2012). Mereka juga diharapkan mampu memenuhi berbagai tuntutan seperti pemenuhan tugas-tugas perkuliahan, menghadapi kompleksitas materi perkuliahan yang semakin sulit dari tahun ke tahun, melakukan penyesuaian sosial di lingkungan kampusnya, dan Mahasiswa yang tidak mampu menangani masalah perkuliahan secara efisien akan membuat mereka rentan terhadap burnout.…”

“…It has been established that international students may be more at risk in reference to their QoL than their domestic peers [21–23, 26]. However, the characteristics of these two groups and associations with QoL have not been investigated in medical students.…”

“…Using the WHOQOL-BREF, Chai et al [21] found that international students studying courses other than medicine at a New Zealand university rated their experiences of physical and environmental QoL lower than domestic students but found no differences with respect to psychological and social relationships. Using a similar sample, Hsu et al [22] found that international students rated physical and environmental QoL lower than domestic students.…”

Quality of life: international and domestic students studying medicine in New Zealand

International students form a significant proportion of students studying within universities in Western countries. The quality of life perceptions of international medical students in comparison with domestic medical students has not been well documented. There is some evidence to suggest that international medical students may have different educational and social experiences in relation to their domestic peers. This study investigates the levels of quality of life experienced by international and domestic students studying medicine. A total of 548 medical students completed the abbreviated version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire. The focus of the analysis was to evaluate differences between international and domestic students in their early clinical years. The responses were analysed using multivariate analysis of variance methods. International medical students are experiencing lower social and environmental quality of life compared with domestic peers. International medical students in New Zealand have expressed quality of life concerns, which likely have an impact on their academic achievement, feelings of wellness, acculturation, and social adaptation. The findings reinforce the need for creating stronger social networks and accessible accommodation, as well as developing systems to ensure safety, peer mentorship and student support.
