First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will survey 400 medical students at Sohag University in Egypt to understand how health anxiety impacts their quality of life. Participants will fill out two questionnaires: one measuring health anxiety and another assessing physical and mental well-being. The results could help universities create better mental health support for future doctors.
