Description

Floriane Michaloud and co-authors lay out a protocol for mapping world research on undergraduate medical students' mental health, in a 2026 scoping review protocol. Student distress emerges early in training under heavy academic and organizational pressure. Existing literature is fragmented across themes, regions, and methods, with equity gaps rarely charted.

Four databases will be searched without date or language limits for quantitative studies. Two reviewers will screen and extract data independently onto a standard form. Domains range from symptoms and distress to social support and lifestyle, with equity variables tracked by how studies actually use them. Tables and visualizations will synthesize the map, following established scoping guidance.
