摘要：Purpose:The purpose of this study was to identify the causal relationship between emotional intelligence,ego-resilience,coping efficacy,and academic stress. Methods:Participants were 424 medical students from four medical schools in Korea. We examined their emotional intelligence, ego-resilience,coping efficacy,and academic stress using a t-test,an analysis of variance,correlational analysis,and path analysis. Results:First- and second-year students scored higher on academic stress than did those from third- and fourth-year students. Further,coping efficacy mediated the relationships between emotional intelligence,ego-resilience,and academic stress. Academic stress was directly influenced by coping efficacy,and indirectly by emotional intelligence and ego-resilience. This showed that coping efficacy play an important role in academic stress. Conclusion:Our findings may help medical schools design educational programs to improve coping efficacy in students,and to reduce their academic stress.
