Özet

Amaç: Günümüzde tıp öğrencileri arasında depresyon, anksiyete ve stres küresel seviyede önemli bir sağlık sorunudur. Bu çalışma ile tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinde depresyon, anksiyete ve stres prevalansının araştırılması ve bunların uyku kalitesi ve demografik özellikler ile ilişkisini değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Materyal ve Metot: Depresyon, anksiyete, stres ve uyku kalitesi hakkındaki bilgileri değerlendirmek için DASS-42 ve Richard Campbell Uyku Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 20,90±2,10 olan toplam 610 tıp fakültesi öğrencisi (44,10% erkek ve 55,90% kız) katılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan tıp öğrencilerinde depresyon, anksiyete ve stres prevalansı sırasıyla 60%, 66%, ve 63% olarak belirlenmiştir. Depresyon düzeyi, ekonomik düzeyi öğrencilerin yüksektir. Anksiyete düzeyi, klinik öncesi öğrencilerde, kızlarda ve tıp fakültesini kendi isteği ile tercih etmeyen öğrencilerde yüksektir. Stres düzeyi ise kızlarda yüksektir. Uyku kalitesi ile depresyon, anksiyete ve stres arasındaki ilişki istatistiksel olarak anlamlı, negatif yönde ve düşük seviyede bulunmuştur. Yüksek depresyon, anksiyete ve stres düzeyi öğrencilerin uyku kalitesini azaltmaktadır. Sonuç: Tıp öğrencilerinin önemli bir kısmında yüksek düzeyde depresyon, anksiyete ve stres belirlenmiştir. Tıp öğrencileri için bireysel rehberlik ve psikolojik danışma hizmetleri verilmesinin yararlı olabileceği düşünülmektedir.
