This study analyzed the data of a mental health survey on students enrolled at a medical school located in Daegu in 2020.Methods: An online survey was administered to 654 medical school students (pre-medical course: 220 students, medical course: 434 students) from August to October 2020, with 61.16% (n=400) valid responses. The questionnaire included items about COVID-19-related experiences, stress, stress resilience, anxiety, and depression.Results: Of the survey participants, 15.5% had experienced unbearable stress, with the most significant stress factors (in descending order) being limited leisure activities, unusual experiences related to COVID-19, and limited social activities. Approximately 28.8% reported psychological distress, and their most experienced negative emotions were helplessness, depression, and anxiety (in descending order). The mean Beck Anxiety Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory-II scores were 2.44 and 6.08, respectively, both within normal ranges. Approximately 8.3% had mild or greater anxiety, and 15% had mild or greater depression. For students under psychological distress, the experience of unbearable stress before COVID-19 affected anxiety (odds ratio [OR], 0.198; p&lt;0.05), and having an underlying condition affected depression (OR, 0.190; p&lt;0.05). With respect to their psychological distress during August\u2013October 2020 compared with that during February\u2013March 2020 (2 months from the initial outbreak), anxiety stayed the same while depression increased and resilience decreased at a statistically significant level.Conclusion: It was found that some medical students were suffering from psychological difficulties related to COVID-19, and there were several risk factors for them. This finding suggests that medical schools need to not only develop academic management systems but also provide programs that can help students manage their mental health and emotions in preparation for an infectious disease pandemic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3946\/kjme.2023.254","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,1]],"date-time":"2023-06-01T02:18:36Z","timestamp":1685585916000},"page":"125-141","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3946\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The
