Abstract

OBJECTIVE

This study evaluated the relationship between medical student Grit and thoracic surgery career interest.

DESIGN

An online questionnaire was designed to measure self-reported ratings of Grit among medical student using the Short-Grit scale, as well as thoracic surgery career interest.

SETTING

Faculty of Medicine, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada.

PARTICIPANTS

From 2019 to 2021, 192/367 (52.3%) participants in their first or second year of medical school. The cohort was comprised of 109 (56.8%) females while 115 (59.9%) were <24 years of age.

RESULTS

Mean Grit was high (M = 4.159 +/- 0.450) among medical students. There were 80 (41.2%) students interested in thoracic surgery. There was a significant difference in Grit between students with a career interest in thoracic surgery (4.256 +/- 0.442) and those uninterested in thoracic surgery (4.089 +/- 0.444); t(190) = 2.572, p = 0.011; Cohen's D = 0.442. Career interest in thoracic surgery was not influenced by career factor interest.

CONCLUSIONS

Grittier students have a career interest in thoracic surgery. Recruitment teams in thoracic surgery residency programs with high rates of burnout and poor psychological wellbeing among trainees may take interest in these findings.

医学生的勇气和胸外科兴趣。

目的：本研究评估了医学生的勇气与胸外科职业兴趣之间的关系：本研究评估了医学生的 "勇气 "与胸外科职业兴趣之间的关系：设计：设计了一份在线问卷，使用 "短勇气 "量表测量医学生自我报告的 "勇气 "评分以及胸外科职业兴趣：地点：加拿大新斯科舍省哈利法克斯达尔豪西大学医学院：2019年至2021年，192/367（52.3%）名医学院一年级或二年级学生参加了调查。其中109人（56.8%）为女性，115人（59.9%）为结果：医学生的平均胆量较高（M = 4.159 +/- 0.450）。有 80 名（41.2%）学生对胸外科感兴趣。对胸外科有职业兴趣的学生（4.256 +/- 0.442）和对胸外科没有兴趣的学生（4.089 +/- 0.444）的 Grit 有明显差异；t(190) = 2.572，p = 0.011；Cohen's D = 0.442。对胸外科的职业兴趣不受职业因素兴趣的影响：结论：对胸外科有职业兴趣的学生都比较勤奋。胸外科住院医师培训项目的招聘团队可能会对这些研究结果感兴趣，因为这些项目的学员职业倦怠率高，心理健康状况不佳。
