Students’ perception of medical school stress and their evaluation of a wellness elective
Abstract
Context: Because medical education is known to be demanding and stressful, Case Western Reserve University developed a programme which included a wellness elective which focused on stress reduction and personal wellness. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore students’ perceptions of medical school stress and to assess their perspective on the wellness elective. Subjects: The essays of 60 medical students enrolled in the wellness elective were used. Methods: The essays were analysed using qualitative methodology. Results were validated by questionnaires mailed to the students 2 years later. Results: It was found that the students felt that: (1) wellness issues should be important for physicians; (2) their own wellbeing had been diminished by the burden of information to be learned in medical school; (3) talking to peers was a useful coping mechanism, and (4) the elective gave permission to engage in wellness activities without additional guilt. Conclusions: Based on the students’ responses, a wellness elective could be a useful addition to the first‐ or second‐year medical curriculum.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
