[Health behavior of medical students. Introduction of mental hygienic skills in the medical education in Hungary].
HuMania Training Programme is a voluntary peer training course.


OBJECTIVE
to measure the efficiency of HuMania Training Programme and to analyse social relations of medical students.


METHODS
WHO Well-being Index, Bergen Social Relationship Scale, Lazarus's Ways of Coping Questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory for undergraduate students were used. The results of HuMania Training Programme established in 2009 were compared with those obtained from controls and HuMania Training Programme of the forthcoming year.


RESULTS
At the beginning, participants of the HuMania Training Programme had fewer well-being scores (p = 0.01), whereas their social anxiety (p = 0.01) and emotion-based coping (p = 0.05) were greater as compared to controls. After the HuMania Training Programme course, well-being showed an increasing tendency (p = 0.072), and burnout-level decreased (p = 0.040). Fifty percent of medical students had a minimum of three stressors, and 57% of them said that there was a person in their environment, who needed help, but they cannot provide it.


CONCLUSIONS
Medical students display poor mental hygienic state. and HuMania Training Programme tries to fight this situation.
