The development of student counseling network is based on the concept of community mental health that include primary , secondary and tertiary prevention. The student counseling center screened newly admitted medical college students usingpsychosomatic adaptation questionnaires in 1991 and 1992. The questionnaires arecomprised of three parts: 1) General health condition and somatic symptoms, higherin the scores worse in condition; 2) Ego function and social support, lower in thescores worse in condition; 3) Psychological symptoms, higher in the scores worse incondition. The mean total scores of somatic symptoms showed significant differencebetween male (8.7 ± 5.8) and female (11.8 ± 6.2) (t=6.40. df=635, p < 0.01) in 1991.The mean total scores of somatic symptoms in 1992 showed no statistical significantdifferences between male (13.9 ± 8.8) and female (13.5 ± 7.0) (t=0.60, df=652, p >0.05). In comparisons between 1991 and 1992 showed that scores of somatic symptoms were higher in both male and female (p < 0.01). The first five ranked somaticsymptoms were acne, fatigue, cough, diarrhea and headache in both years. The meanscores of ego function and social support showed no significant differences (t=0.98,df=635, p>0.05) between 1991 male (99.5 ± 14.4) and female (98.3 ± 14.7) students.Male (98.7 ± 15.2) and female (100.6 ± 13.7) also showed no significant differences (p> 0.05) in 1992. Comparison between 1991 and 1992 that scores of ego function andsocial support showed no significant differences. The first five ranked ego functionand social support items were "I know that study is meaningful", "I know my goal ofstudy", "I can share with teachers, classmates and friends", "I like different activitiesand recreations", and "I can share with families" in both years. The mean totalscores of psychological symptoms showed significant difference between male (53.8 ±11.9) and female (57.5 ± 12.1) (t=3.77, df=635, p < 0.01) in 1991. The mean totalscores of psychological symptoms showed significant difference between male (54.4 ±11.8) and female (56.4 ± 12.1) (t=2.07, df=652, p < 0.05) in 1992. Comparisonsbetween years showed no significant differences in either sex. The first five rankedpsychological symptoms were "urgent of time", "neuroticism", "self-unsatisfied","feelings of upset" and "indecisiveness" in both years. Generally the data showedthat male students scored less somatic and psychological symptoms than female butnot ego function and social support.
