Objective Research has consistently shown that medical students have greater rates of stress and mental-ill health in comparison with non-medical students. The objective of this study was to investigate the resilience strategies employed by medical students in an Irish medical school to inoculate themselves against the deleterious effects of stress on health and wellbeing. Methods Group concept mapping was utilized incorporating qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The stages undertaken by year 3 students at an Irish medical school involved brainstorming/idea generation, categorization, and rating of resilience strategies students employed to manage stress during medical school. The data was analyzed utilizing The Concept System® software through multidimensional scaling and hierarchical clustering. Results Categories of resilience strategies employed included “friends and family,” “de-stress through exercise/sport,” “extra-curricular non-medical activities,” “self-enabled distraction,” “organization,” and “enhancing emotional and mental wellbeing.” Students rated spending time with “friends and family” to be most effective when seeking to relieve stress, whereas students rated “de-stressing through exercise/sport” as being of greatest importance in relation to inclusion in a resilience-based intervention. Students recognized the value of incorporating strategies to enhance emotional and mental wellbeing into a resilience-promoting program. “Self-enabled distraction” rated poorly on both scales. Conclusions Strategies rated by students to be important to incorporate in a stress reduction management program are accessible, are feasible, and can be implemented into the medical curriculum.

提高医学生抗逆力的策略：群体概念图分析。

客观研究始终表明，与非医学生相比，医学生的压力和心理健康状况更高。这项研究的目的是调查爱尔兰医学院的医学院学生采用的弹性策略，以预防压力对健康和福祉的有害影响。方法利用组概念图结合定性和定量方法。在爱尔兰医学院的3年级学生所进行的阶段涉及头脑风暴/想法的产生，分类以及对学生在医学院期间所采用的用于管理压力的复原力策略的评估。使用The ConceptSystem®软件通过多维缩放和层次聚类分析数据。结果所采用的复原力策略类别包括“朋友和家人”，“通过运动/运动减轻压力”，“课外非医疗活动”，“自我分散注意力”，“组织”以及“增强情绪和智力”福利。” 学生认为与“朋友和家人”共度时光是缓解压力方面最有效的方法，而学生认为“通过运动/运动来减轻压力”对于融入基于弹性的干预措施中最为重要。学生认识到将策略提高情绪和心理健康的策略纳入韧性促进计划的价值。在两个方面，“自我分散注意力”的评分均很差。结论被学生评价为对减轻压力管理计划至关重要的策略是可行的，可行的，
