Abstract: Objective　To analyze the psychological stress of medical graduate students and to explore the strategies and methods to improve their mental health education.Methods　The psychological stress of medical postgraduates in a university in Changchun was investigated by online questionnaire, and the results were collected and analyzed statistically.Results　There were gender differences in medical graduate students' doctor-patient pressure, clinical pressure, physical pressure, scientific research pressure, academic pressure, interpersonal pressure, economic pressure, employment pressure and family pressure (P＜0.05), and there were significant correlations among all kinds of pressure (P＜0.01), among which clinical pressure and scientific research pressure were the main pressures. Among the 1 219 medical postgraduates surveyed, 0.98% had no stress, 23.95% had mild stress, 59.81% had moderate stress, and 15.26% had severe stress. Among them, the number of people who always have a regular daily routine only accounts for 8.20% of the total. At the same time, it is found that most of the medical graduate students tend to relieve the pressure through diversion methods such as entertainment, gaming, reading, and exercise.Conclusion　Medical postgraduates face significant psychological pressure, and we should pay attention to it, advocate schools, teachers, families and other aspects to give support and care, and provide a conducive learning environment for them.
