Abstract

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of subjective well-being of medical students,which provides a reference for improving the subjective well-being of medical students and improving their learning adaptability.Methods From March to August in 2018,a total of 264 foreign students from two medical colleges in Heilongjiang Province were selected as research subjects.The subjective well-being scale and cultural adaptation strategy scale were used to investigate international students.Happiness scores were analyzed using descriptive statistics,chi-square test,and logistic regression methods.Results The subjective well-being score of medical students was (45.69±8.23),and the proportion of medical students who felt “happy” and “unhappy” in life was 87.5% (231/264) and 12.5% (33/264) respectively.There were significant differences between “cultivation time” and “cultural adaptation strategy”,and the scores of subjective well-being (all P<0.05).Conclusion Most medical students have higher subjective well-being,and the time-length of their stay in China and cultural adaptation strategy is the influencing factor of their subjective well-being.
