| Abstract (English): |
University dropout is considered a significant issue in higher education institutions. Various factors may be associated with this phenomenon, including the presence of stress and depression among students. Objective: To identify sociodemographic, familial, personal, and social factors associated with dropout intention, as well as levels of academic stress and depression. Materials and methods: An analytical, observational cross-sectional study was conducted. The Systemic Cognitivist (SISCO) Inventory of Academic Stress and the Zung Depression Scale were administered to 616 medical students, both from the basic and clinical cycles, at a private university during the second semester of 2017. Results: The average age of participants was 21 ± 3 years, and 65.6% were women. A total of 28% of students reported having considered dropping out at some point during their studies. Academic stress was found to be deep in 34.5% of students and mild to moderate in 65.5%. The prevalence of severe depression was 0.5%, moderate depression 3.9%, and mild depression 27.3%. Dropout ideation was associated with male sex (OR 1.67; 95% CI 1.05-2.66), family relationships considered good to fair (OR 0.57; 95 % CI 0.37-0.89 and OR 0.38; 95 % CI 0.15-0.93, respectively), family pressure to pursue a medical degree (OR 0.58; 95% CI 0.34-0.97), and stress levels (OR 0.98; 95% CI 0.98-0.99). Conclusion: Dropout ideation was associated with sex, academic stress, family relationships, and family pressure to study medicine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
