title: [Stress during post-graduate medical training].
abstract: We report the stress observed during the residency training. The more frequent causes are related to professional ability. The stress induced common anxiety symptoms, with minor repercussion in the daily activities. Despite the relationship between stress and psychopathology, the individual component play an important role: i.e. females are more stressed, but without more symptoms, and they cope with stress more effectively. Some personality features were also associated to the stress and psychopathology. Changes in the use of coping behaviors during the full residence period were not observed, and the use of efficacious behaviors were associated with less symptoms. The use of these coping behaviors were related to work, self-consolation, distraction and support seeking.
