Abstract
- Background and Objectives: The literature is limited on correlates of psychological well‑being among Indian medical undergraduates. The study aimed to assess the psychological well‑being, life satisfaction, self‑efficacy, positive state of mind, and emotions among first‑year medical undergraduates. Materials and Methods: It was a cross‑sectional study assessing 121 first‑year medical undergraduate students. Psychological well‑being scale, satisfaction with life scale, general self‑efficacy scale, positive state of mind scale, and positive and negative affect schedule revised version were used. Results: The majority of medical undergraduate students were satisfied with the life. Their life satisfaction was positively associated with general self‑efficacy, positive state of mind, and positive affect score. These indicators were negatively associated with negative affect score. Male students had significantly greater self‑efficacy. Conclusion: Medical students’ life satisfaction was found to be positively associated with other wellness indicators. Resilience‑based positive psychology interventions should be implemented in medical colleges to enhance psychological well‑being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
