Brief Summary:
Medical students are subjected to a high competitive pressure throughout their curriculum High levels of stress are associated with a deterioration in quality of life and learning abilities
Our field surveys conducted in 2022 and 2023 at the Lyon Est Medical School revealed that second-cycle students presented a high level of stress It is expected that these feelings significantly degrade their quality of life as well as their health Furthermore a local survey reported that one in two medical students had experienced at least one depressive episode and one in three had already had suicidal thoughts during their curriculum
Thus it would become crucial for medical students to manage stressful situations and reduce stress levels during their studies
The PROMESS - STRESS project aims to offer solutions to students to reduce their stress levels during their medical studies It responds to a demand expressed by students our previous field study showed that 45 of fourth-year students declared being very interested andor interested in following a intervention aimed at stress reduction An early knowledge of stress remediation tools would allow students to quickly acquire the necessary tools to cope with stressful situations they will encounter during their training and their life as future physicians The objective of this study is to determine the influence of a stress management intervention on medical students levels of psychophysiological stress and satisfaction

Detailed Description:
Our project aims to support future healthcare professionals to adopt health-promoting behaviors during their studies in a preventive approach This support will be provided through an intervention of stress management during their curriculum Specifically 4th and 5th-year students of the Faculty of Medicine of Lyon Est will have the opportunity to participate in the PROMESS STRESS project 45 voluntaries will follow a preventive program based on stress management This intervention will span 11 weeks At the end of this period we expect improvements in both subjective and objective indicators of stress
METHODS
PRE-INTERVENTION Week 1 Participants will undergo a two-hour session during which they will complete questionnaires on stress We will also record Heart Rate Variability HRV
INTERVENTION From week 5 to week 11 The stress management intervention will consist of three individual sessions each lasting one hour with approximately 15 days between each session Each session includes individual interviews between a stress expert and the participant ie student
The sessions will be scheduled as follow week 5 and 6 session 1 week 7 and 8 session 2 week 9 10 and 11 session 3 During the interview the expert realizes an initial assessment of student stress levels and gives personalized goals to student Subsequent sessions follow the same structure
