چکیده

مقدمه: از آن جایی که پزشکان نقش مهمی در حفظ بهداشت و سلامت جامعه ایفا می‌کنند، ضروری است که آن‌ها نه تنها از سلامت جسمانی و روانی کافی برخوردار باشند، بلکه از لحاظ ویژگی‌های مثبت و ارتقای سطح سلامت نسبت به سایر افراد بالاتر باشد. هدف این مطالعه، بررسی و مقایسه‌ی سلامت روان و مؤلفه‌های روان‌شناسی مثبت از جمله شادی، امید و معنویت در دانشجویان پزشکی در طول سال‌های مختلف تحصیلی بود.روش‌ها: این مطالعه‌ی مقطعی بر روی یک نمونه‌ی تصادفی 332 نفری از دانشجویان پزشکی دانشگاه علوم پزشکی اصفهان در سال 1392 انجام شد. از 28-GHQ (General health questionnaire)، پرسش‌نامه‌ی شادی Oxford و مقیاس امید Allison، و پرسش‌نامه‌ی سلامت معنوی Schneider استفاده شد. داده‌های به دست آمده توسط نرم‌افزار SPSS نسخه‌ی 20 و آزمون‌های t، آنالیز واریانس، ضریب همبستگی Pearson و Logistic regression مورد تحلیل قرار گرفت.یافته‌ها: درکل شرکت کنندگان، میانگین نمره‌ی سلامت معنوی، 678/15 ± 201/90، سلامت روان 678/15 ± 798/27، شادی 274/17 ± 385/68 و امید 154/3 ± 373/23 به دست آمد. نمره‌ی شادی در بین سال‌های مختلف تفاوت معنی‌دار داشت (05/0 > P). همچنین ضریب همبستگی Pearson نشان داد که بین شادی، امید و معنویت با سلامت روان و خرده مقیاس‌های آن ارتباط معنی‌داری وجود دارد (05/0 > P). تنها معنویت، با معدل تحصیلی دانشجویان ارتباط معنی‌دار داشت.نتیجه‌گیری: کاهش معنی‌دار نمره‌ی شادی بین دانشجویان سال‌های ابتدایی و انتهایی و همچنین ارتباط معنی‌دار شادی، امید و معنویت با سلامت روان، توجه به سرمایه‌ی روان‌شناختی دانشجویان را ضروری می‌سازد.

چکیده [English]

Background: As physicians have a significant role in promoting health of society, it is necessary that physicians themselves not only have suitable level of mental and physical health, but also stay in higher level of positive characteristics of well-being. This study aimed to investigate and compare mental health and some positive psychology factors including happiness, hope and spirituality among students of medicine during years of education.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 332 students of medicine at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Iran, were randomly selected during 2013. The students' spirituality, mental health, happiness, and hope were measured using Elison questionnaire, General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), Oxford questionnaire, and Synder questionnaire, respectively. Data were analyzed using t, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and Logistic regression tests.Findings: The mean scores of Elison questionnaire of Spirituality (90.201 ± 15.678), GHQ-28 questionnaire (27.798 ± 15.678), Oxford questionnaire of Happiness (68.385 ± 17.274), and Synder questionnaire of Hope (23.373 ± 3.154) were calculated. Pearson correlation coefficient showed a statistically significant decrease in Happiness score form primary to final years of medicine. In addition, Pearson correlation coefficient showed a statistically significant relationship between happiness, hope, spirituality and mental health questionnaire and its subscales but there was only significant relationship between Elison questionnaire of spiritual wellness and students' grade point average (GPA).Conclusion: According to significantly decrease of happiness among students during years of education, and significant relationship between happiness, hope, spirituality and mental health, need for more serious attention to these issues in educational planning is necessitated.
