AimMedical residency training is associated with a range of sociodemographic, lifestyle and mental health factors that may confer higher risk for psychotic‐like experiences (PLEs) in residents, yet little research has examined this question. Thus, we aimed to document the prevalence and associated factors of PLEs among resident physicians.MethodsPhysicians enrolled in residency programmes in the Province of Québec, Canada (four universities) were recruited in Fall 2022 via their programme coordinators and social media. They completed an online questionnaire assessing PLEs in the past 3 months (the 15‐item Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences), as well as sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle and mental health. Analyses included survey weights and gamma regressions.ResultsThe sample included 502 residents (mean age, 27.6 years; 65.9% women). Only 1.3% (95% CI: 0.5%, 4.0%) of residents met the screening cut‐off for psychotic disorder. Factors associated with higher scores for PLEs included racialised minority status (relative difference: +7.5%; 95% CI: +2.2%, +13.2%) and English versus French as preferred language (relative difference: +7.9% 95% CI: +3.1%, +12.9%), as well as each additional point on scales of depression (relative difference: +0.8%; 95% CI: +0.3%, +1.3%) and anxiety (relative difference: +1.3%; 95% CI: +0.8%, +1.7%). In secondary analyses, racialised minority status was associated with persecutory items, but not with other PLEs. Gender, residency programmes and lifestyle variables were not associated with PLEs.ConclusionsThis study found low reports of PLEs in a sample of resident physicians. Associations of PLEs with minoritised status may reflect experiences of discrimination.

ObjectivesTo study the influencing factors on college students’ physical exercise behavior and the mediating relationship of self-efficacy based on the theory of social support and self-efficacy; to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for college students engaging independently in physical exercise.MethodsA total of 1,440 college students from six universities in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China were selected as the research objects, and three scales (Self-Efficacy Scale, Social Support Scale, and Physical Exercise Rating Scale) were used to construct a structural equation model.Results(1) A comprehensive sports facility environment is conducive to college students’ physical activities and the emotional support of friends and family and the campus cultural atmosphere cannot be ignored. (2) Peer support has a direct impact on physical exercise behavior, family support and school support indirectly affect college students’ physical exercise behavior, based on the intermediary role of self-efficacy. (3) According to the total effect, social support was ranked as school support (0.444), peer support (0.312), and family support (0.145).ConclusionSocial support not only directly affects physical exercise behavior but also indirectly affects physical exercise behavior based on the mediating effect of self-efficacy.

Introduction: Millions of lives have been impacted by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection worldwide. The world's health-care system is overburdened and, in some places, in disarray, which has an effect on medical workers' physical and psychological well-being. The psychological impact has more negative effects on people's general well-being. The goal of this review was to ascertain how the COVID-19 pandemic affected these populations' levels of stress, despair, and anxiety. Until March 2022, PubMed, Google Scholar, and journal online databases were searched for articles focusing on stress, anxiety, and depression in Indian health-care professionals. “Psychological distress,” “COVID-19,” and “Health professionals” were utilized as search phrases. The quantitative study was performed using R Software version 4.1.2. Using Cochran's Q test, the studies' heterogeneity (I 2) was evaluated. We found 12 studies in the search results. Stress prevalence as a whole was 0.2721 (95% confidence interval [CI] - 0.1336–0.4754). Depression had a combined prevalence of 0.3941 (95% CI - 0.2698–0.5338). Anxiety's pooled prevalence was 0.4158 (95% CI - 0.2790–0.5670). Young age and longer work hours were considered the main risk factors for psychological distress. The COVID-19 had a significant impact on India's medical sector. The critical goal is to recognize psychological issues at an early stage and to use the right technique and intervention to deal with them.
