Abstract:
|
Medical education, though respected in the society, has always been regarded as a highly stressful
profession. Such a stressful environment can often exert a negative effect on the academic performance,
physical health and psychological well being of the medical undergraduate. The present study was done to find
out routine life events and academic difficulties faced by the medical undergraduates (hostelites as well as
nonhostelites), their coping strategies to stressful events, their psychological needs in career as well as academic
life. Based on data collection from the modified questionnaires it was found that hostelites faced more tough
life events in their campus lives. They were found to have difficulty in understanding of subjects but at the same
time had cordial relations w ith hostel friends, colleague, and seniors as well as with junior faculty members too
as compared to non hostelites. Coping strategies of all hostelites and non hostelites of I and II year students for
overcoming academic stress and routine event stress were miniscule and they would greatly benefit from proper
guidance and psychological support for their career development. Thus, in order to fulfill this requirement, the
suggestion of establishment of m entoring cell, with proper co-ordination from the Dean’s office, would help
in fostering mentor –mentee relationship.
Key words: Hostelites, mentor, medical undergraduates, nonhostelites, , ,
