How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Aim: To determine the level of neurotization, psychopathization and stress at the interns of a medical university. Material and methods: Analysis of the results of an anonymous questionnaire for determining the level of stress in accordance with the PSM 25 method and the presence of neurotization and psychopathy was carried out in accordance with a personal UNP questionnaire compiled by I.B. Lasko and B.I. Tonkonogiy. The study involved 133 medical students of 6 course. When processing the results, 8 questionnaires were excluded from the study due to the high level of insincerity. Thus, 125 participants were included in the study, of which 77 (61.6%) were girls and 48 (38.4%) were guys. The average age of the respondents was 23±1 year. Results: 80% of respondents had a low level of stress. However, girls are 5 times more likely to have high stress. Most respondents revealed a clinically significant level of psychopathic character traits. Conclusion: Even though the level of stress resistance of the respondents was high, only 12% of the respondents did not show signs of psychopathy or neurotization.
