Medical undergraduates need to study for five years, while other majors generally need four years. To be an excellent doctor, a bachelor's degree is not enough. You have to continue to study for a master's degree or even a doctorate. If it goes well, it will take 1 1 year from undergraduate to doctoral graduation. Long academic system, many courses and many hours are the main characteristics and difficulties of medical students' learning. Medical students have to carry out a lot of clinical practice, study and work overload while completing heavy studies, but they must also ensure accuracy. Medical students lack practical experience in the early stage of internship, which is not only difficult and time-consuming, but also learning how to deal with the relationship between doctors and patients, so that they can bear great physical and mental pressure. These factors make medical students have no extra time to relax or do physical exercise, and their psychological pressure cannot be relieved and there is nowhere to release it. After a long time, a series of psychological problems will appear.
2. Physiological characteristics of medical students The age range of medical students is generally 19~25. This period is a period when their physiological functions are gradually improved, their psychological development and intellectual development are constantly improved and deepened, abstract logic, critical thinking and independent thinking have been formed, and their intelligence, memory and observation are the best. They are full of pursuit for the future, ideal and career. With the gradual development of body and mind and the gradual enhancement of self-awareness, they pay more attention to exploring and analyzing their inner subtle world, and will unconsciously shape and understand themselves from all aspects and design their own patterns and trajectories. However, the disconnection between reality and ideal, the sharp conflict between ideal self and real self, will easily lead to huge emotional fluctuations, the coexistence of open and closed emotions, and the coexistence of extreme emotions and extreme self-evaluation, which will also lead them to conduct complex observation and analysis.
3. Changes in interpersonal relationships Medical students will have different psychological changes after entering the new environment of the school. In the middle school stage, individual students may be at the leading level in the class. However, after entering the new environment, fierce competition and heavy academic tasks have made some students feel a huge gap and their hearts are full of failure. Individual students have different personalities and hobbies, and their interpersonal skills are weak. They don't think from other people's point of view, but only take the form of avoidance when problems arise. Over time, there will be serious difficulties in interpersonal communication.
4. The employment competition is fierce. The rapid development of medical technology needs more and more talents. Fierce employment competition makes many students face unemployment after graduation. Most medical students hope to find a well-paid and promising career. However, due to their poor social adaptability, they have a great sense of gap after entering the society, causing anxiety and various psychological diseases.
