目的探讨医学本科生气质性乐观与抑郁体验、生活满意度的关系,为改善医学生的心理健康提供依据。方法方便抽取某医学院校在校本科生300名,采用生活取向测量问卷(LOT)、抑郁体验问卷(DEQ)、生活满意度问卷(SWLS)进行调查。结果男女医学生乐观水平差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),独生子女乐观水平显著高于非独生子女,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01);乐观维度和生活满意度显著正相关(r=0.40,P<0.01),悲观维度与无助性抑郁和内射性抑郁维度显著正相关(r=0.39,0.49,P<0.01);悲观因子显著正向预测抑郁(β=0.491,P<0.01),乐观因子显著正向预测生活满意度(β=0.357,P<0.01)。结论医学生的气质性乐观和抑郁、生活满意度有着密切关系,气质性乐观可能是影响医学生心理健康的重要因素。
