Well-being among Medical Students in Digital Learning Environments

Abstract

[EN] This study explores the relationship between psychological well-being and subjective happiness among medical students in online learning environments. A cross-sectional survey of 250 students employed validated tools (Ryff’s Scales of Psychological Well-being and Oxford Happiness Inventory). Results revealed a significant association between psychological and subjective well-being (p < 0.001), with subjective well-being scores increasing from 39.35% in the low group to 62.0% in the high group. These findings highlight psychological health as a key determinant of subjective happiness, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions for students with lower well-being levels. Furthermore, online platforms were successful in facilitating research, demonstrating their potential for future studies, although concerns regarding data accuracy and ethical adherence persist. This research provides practical recommendations to enhance mental well-being in digital education while also prompting further investigation into the long-term impacts of online learning.
