          Abstract

          Resumen Antoine y Benjamin son dos jóvenes franceses que, tras haber terminado sus estudios de bachillerato en ciencias, coindicen en el curso preparatorio para elegir su futura carrera universitaria. Solo aquellos que consigan las mejores notas y por tanto los mejores puestos al final del curso podrán elegir medicina. Mientras que para Antoine; que no tiene una mente especialmente brillante, pero si una capacidad de sufrimiento y de estudio ilimitado, el conseguir una plaza para estudiar medicina es lo más importante en su vida, para Benjamin; cuyo padre es cirujano digestivo, y le resulta relativamente fácil sacar buenas notas, no tiene clara su vocación. La película plantea una crítica sobre cuáles son los parámetros que determinan quienes deben ser aceptados para estudiar medicina así como la creciente competitividad entre los posibles candidatos, donde a la hora de la verdad, tus amigos pasan a ser competidores y por tanto enemigos.

          Abstract Antoine and Benjamin are two french teenagers, after having finished their high school studies in science, who met in the preparatory course for their future university career. Only those who get the best grades and therefore the best positions at the end of the course will be able to choose medicine. While for Antoine; that he does not have an especially brilliant mind, but if an unlimited capacity for suffering and study, getting a place to study medicine is the most important thing in his life, for Benjamin; whose father is a digestive surgeon, and it is relatively easy for him to get good grades, his vocation is unclear. The film raises a criticism about what are the parameters that determine who should be accepted to study medicine as well as the increasing competitiveness among potential candidates, where at the end, your friends become competitors and therefore enemies.

          Acute and chronic stress increase salivary cortisol: a study in the real-life setting of a national examination undertaken by medical graduates.

          Spanish medical graduates who apply for a medical specialty training position (MIR) must take an examination that will shape their future personal and professional lives. Preparation for the test represents an important stressor that persists for several months. The aim of this study was to elucidate the stress pattern of this group and evaluate possible changes in the circadian rhythm of cortisol release in medical graduates preparing for this test. A repeated-measures longitudinal study was performed, measuring the salivary cortisol concentrations in 36 medical graduates (13 males and 23 females; mean age of 24.2 years) on five sampling days. Five cortisol samples were collected from 07:00 to 21:00 h in order to monitor changes in the circadian rhythm. On all sampling days (except on the day of the official examination), anxiety and psychological stress were evaluated with the Spanish versions of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). During the study period, participants showed higher levels of anxiety than the Spanish reference population as well as a progressive increase in self-perceived stress. A significant increase in salivary cortisol concentration was observed in both chronic (study and examination preparation) and acute (examinations) situations. Our results suggest that the cortisol awakening response (CAR) may be a good indicator of anticipatory stress but is unaffected by long-term examination preparation. Comparison of results between the official examination day and the mock examination days yielded evidence that learning may modulate the behavior of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.

            Programa de Atención Psicológica para los alumnos de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Barcelona

            El Programa d´Atenció Psicològica de la Facultad de Medicina de Barcelona se desarrolló entre los años 1999 y 2003. Se razonan los motivos de su creación así como los aspectos específicos de pertenencia a una facultad de medicina. Se da cuenta de los trabajos de tipo asistencial realizados en el transcurso de ese periodo, así como de los trabajos de investigación correspondientes a la misma etapa o derivados de las líneas generales que se prolongaron con posterioridad al cierre del programa y que tienen su origen en la línea de trabajo del propio programa. Se analiza la conveniencia y el interés que puede atribuirse a este tipo de colaboraciones que pretenden valorar la etapa universitaria de los sujetos como la antesala de la vida laboral.
