Abstract: The psychological health status investigation to 645 medical graduate students by self-rating depression scale(SDS) are Carried out and used SPSS 19.0 for statistical description, t-test, variance analysis and logistic regression analysis to analyze the influence factors of psychological health. The incidence rate of depression of medical graduate students is 21.6%(139/645), and the depression score is (43.81±6.77), which is higher than the national norm(41.88±10.57) and the difference is statistically significant(t=7.12,P<0.001). Bad consumption habits, improper learning methods, and delay are related to the depression tendency of medical graduate students, but psychological knowledge and physical exercise will reduce the tendency of depression. Carrying out professional skills training, medical universities should also strengthen the sports training and the humanities education, help graduate students to set up the active and correct outlook on life and value, and improve the psychological health level.
