Assessing psychological distress among medical students: a systematic review and meta-analysis of tools available

There are multiple tools available for assessing psychological distress that are already widely used. The use of a specific questionnaire may not be necessary for this population, as tools designed for the general population can also be used for this specific group. However, specific questionnaires may provide a more accurate indication of the causal factors that require action.

Abstract

There are multiple tools available for assessing psychological distress that are already widely used. The use of a specific questionnaire may not be necessary for this population, as tools designed for the general population can also be used for this specific group. However, specific questionnaires may provide a more accurate indication of the causal factors that require action.
