背景與目的：本研究比較醫學院與其他學院學生面對生活壓力時的感受、因應模式、及身心症狀情形之差異，期藉研究發現指導學生養成對身心健康有助益的認知模式和因應策略。方法：採集體取樣法，由醫、文和理工學院中，九個學系三年級班級學生共314 人為對象，實施結構式問卷調查，內容包括基本資料、SCL-90-R、壓力適應量表(Coping Strategies Inventory, CSI)、「大學生身心適應調查表」。使用one-wayANOVA，以Post hoc 檢定之多重比較LSD 法，比較不同學院與學系間在三個量表得分表現的差異。結果：1. 醫學系學生在時間規劃、課業壓力、感情問題上，有較明顯的困擾；2. 醫、數兩系學生具有較多且整體嚴重程度高的身心症狀，特別是身體化症狀、焦慮、敵意、恐懼性焦慮、精神病性，而醫學系還包括強迫行為、人際敏感、憂鬱；3. 文學院學生比其他學院較有「生涯規劃」的困擾; 4. 理工學院學生比文、醫學院較不會使用積極的因應方式。結論：醫學系學生，應在時間管理、感情問題處理的困擾上，加以重視與輔導；理工學院學生，應加強「積極的壓力因應方式」的認識與應用。

Data includingdemographic data, SCL-90-R, Coping Style Inventory, and College Students' Adjustment CheckList were collected. We used the least squares difference (LSD) method of one-way ANOVA toanalyze these data and compare differences of the 3 questionnaires among the different collegesand departments. Results: The medical students showed the most-severe puzzlement over theirtime plan, academic pressure, and emotional problems among students of the 9 departmentsevaluated. Both medical students and students in the applied mathematics department presenteda greater number and a higher overall severity of psychosomaticmanifestations, especially somaticsymptoms, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, and psychotic symptoms; medical students alsodemonstrated a greater severity of compulsive behavior, interpersonal sensitivity, and depression.Students of the college of liberal arts had the most-severe puzzlement as to their "plan of life"among students of the 9 departments. Students of the college of science and engineering utilizedpositive coping styles less often compared to students of the college of liberal arts and the medicalschool. Conclusion: Supervisors and teachers ofmedical school students should pay attention toand assist with problems of time management and personal matters such as love affairs. Studentsof the college of science and engineering should be advised and taught to utilize positive copingstyles for life stresses.
