Abstract

Numerous factors that influence the choice of anaesthesiology as a career have been described. Previously, personality and intrinsic aspects of the job were marked as important influences in choosing anaesthesiology as a career.3,4 Recent literature, however, revealed a manageable lifestyle and better working conditions as more important.5,6 Other key influences noted were undergraduate and postgraduate exposure to the specialty, as well as role models within the specialty.3,6 Additional factors identified were related to the intrinsic nature of anaesthesiology: “hands-on”, practical, immediate gratification with the work (immediate results), and the applicability of physiology and pharmacology.4,6-8 Differences between gender have been identified, with females increasingly opting for specialties allowing for part-time work.3,9 Studies on choosing anaesthesiology as a career have been conducted in developing countries,10-13 including African countries such as Rwanda14 and Ghana,15 that have a severe shortage of anaesthetists. The findings of these studies are similar to those in developed countries.6-8,16 Studies have found that increased exposure to anaesthesiology at an undergraduate level as well as during an internship, improved the likelihood of someone choosing anaesthesiology as a career.13,14
南非一所高等院校麻醉师的职业选择
已经描述了影响麻醉学职业选择的许多因素。以前,个性和工作的内在方面被认为是选择麻醉学作为职业的重要影响因素。3,4然而,最近的文献显示,可管理的生活方式和更好的工作条件更为重要。5,6注意到的其他关键影响因素是本科生和研究生对该专业的接触,以及专业内的榜样。3,6确定的其他因素与麻醉学的内在性质有关:“动手”、实践、对工作的即时满足(即时结果)以及生理学和药理学的适用性。4,6-8已经确定了性别之间的差异,随着女性越来越多地选择允许兼职工作的专业。3,9在发展中国家进行了关于选择麻醉师作为职业的研究,10-13包括卢旺达14和加纳15等麻醉师严重短缺的非洲国家。这些研究的结果与发达国家的研究结果相似。6-8,16研究发现,在本科生和实习期间接触麻醉学的人数增加,提高了人们选择麻醉学作为职业的可能性。13,14
