Implication

Cross-sectional study reveals high psychological distress among technical intern trainees, indicating a need for better mental health support.

Key Points

  • Psychological distress levels were notably high, with 26.3% experiencing moderate distress and 2.3% severe distress.
  • Key association findings show female gender and non-Vietnamese nationality linked to increased distress levels; both AOR values exceed 2.00.
  • Study utilized a multivariate model, specifically logistic regression, to identify variables contributing to psychological distress in trainees across Japan from August to October 2021, involving 304 participants in total; program implemented from 1993 on foreign interns supports this analysis' significance across the population's experience today—knowledge of the healthcare system was identified as an impediment to care-seeking behavior, affecting wellbeing negatively.
