Abstract

Background: There is a worldwide shortage of general practitioners (GPs). The aim of this study is to explore the perspectives of GP trainees and to understand their motivators and career priorities to inform future GP workforce planning.

Methods: A qualitative study, consisting of one-to-one, semi-structured interviews was conducted with GP trainee participants and data were analysed thematically. Every GP trainee currently enrolled in vocational training nationally was invited to participate. 'Social Cognitive Career Theory' and 'Sociocultural Theory' were used as theoretical frameworks to inform the interview guide and its analysis.

Results: Seventeen GP trainees were interviewed. One meta-theme was identified from interviews: 'Sustainable work as part of a fulfilling life'. This meta-theme of sustainability threads through each of the five related subthemes: Family, stability and support, burnout aversion, role-modelling, and well supported portfolio careers in practice.

Conclusion: Understanding priorities and motivators of GP trainees will inform future healthcare planning, in particular, the type of role to which trainees aspire and the type of health service they in which they will work.

什么激励全科医生的未来:定性研究的爱尔兰学员。
背景:全球普遍缺乏全科医生(gp)。本研究的目的是探讨全科医生实习生的观点,了解他们的动机和职业优先级,为未来的全科医生劳动力规划提供信息。方法:对全科医生学员进行一对一半结构化访谈,并对数据进行主题分析。所有目前在全国参加职业培训的全科医生实习生都被邀请参加。“社会认知职业理论”和“社会文化理论”被作为理论框架来指导面试指南及其分析。结果:对17名全科医生学员进行了访谈。从采访中确定了一个元主题:“可持续工作是充实生活的一部分”。这个可持续发展的元主题贯穿了五个相关的副主题:家庭、稳定性和支持、倦怠厌恶、角色塑造和实践中得到良好支持的组合职业。结论:了解全科医生学员的优先事项和激励因素将为未来的医疗保健计划提供信息,特别是学员渴望的角色类型和他们将在其中工作的医疗服务类型。
