Analysis of the p…

Health professionals were perceived to downplay the importance of exercise and CR, and medication was viewed as being more important than exercise for p…

This study examines the relationship between anatomy students' experience of this potential stressor and various psychological and personal factors. Questionnaires measuring emotional reactions to cadaver dissection, coping strategies, personality and attitudes to death were administered to anatomy students at two medical sc…
