Abstract:
Objective To understand the self-rated sub-health status among medical students and its main relative influencing factors. Methods By random stratified and cluster sampling, 878 medical students were selected to investigate sub-health status using Self-rated Health Measurement Scale-the Revised Version 1.0(SRHMS V1.0) and analyzed the related main influencing factors including gender, grade and specialty in college, daily study time, daily online time and cost of living per month. Results The results showed that the proportion of total good-health status among medical students was 21.2%. The prevalent rate of total sub-health status was 54.9%. The prevalent rates of physical, mental and social sub-health status were 49.3%, 28.6% and 39.2%, respectively; and theses rates in female students was significantly higher than those in male students. The prevalent rate of total sub-health status was significant difference with levels of daily online time (?2=15.544, P=0.001). The composition of total health status was significant difference with levels of grades, specialty and daily online time (P=0.000, P=0.005, P=0.000). The proportion of total bad-health and sub-health status was significant difference with levels of grades and specialty, and grade two students and clinical students took the highest proportion. Conclusions The prevalent rate of sub-health status among medical students was generally existent, and mental and physical health among medical students was mainly affected by gender, grade, specialty and daily online time. We should take proper intervention and adjustment to promote medical students' health.
