Overview
The question of the well-being, quality of life and mental health of care students is unanimously considered to be a central issue among young adults. According to the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, there will be 194,752 care students in France in 2021-2022. The quality of life and well-being of health students can be affected at several levels. The first is mental health. In France, the mental health of these students has deteriorated considerably in recent years. According to a 2017 survey of 21,768 French medical students, 66% of them had an anxiety disorder and 27% a depressive syndrome. In addition, a number of risk factors have been identified for the mental health of health students. The aim of the study is to carry out a longitudinal evaluation of the mental health status of care students during their university studies in France through anxiety, depression and perceived stress.
