摘要

背景:影响医学生职业选择的因素多种多样。本研究旨在确定古吉兰瓦拉医学院本科医学生的职业偏好和影响专业选择的因素,该医学院的学生来自拉合尔、拉瓦尔品第和费萨拉巴德等多个城市。因此,这项研究将对医学教育部门有价值,因为了解古吉兰瓦拉医学院的职业不确定性也将提供开发更好的工具和咨询计划的方法,帮助巴基斯坦各地的医科学生为他们的未来做好准备。方法:对古吉兰瓦拉医学院学生进行描述性横断面研究。由于本研究的样本量不是太大,而且目标受众的物理距离很近,因此采用了结构化的纸质问卷,其中包含多项选择题、二分法问题以及可缩放的问题,其内容包括从MBBS后的职业偏好到评估可能影响其专业选择的可能因素。所有收集的信息都是在自愿的基础上收集的。保持匿名和保密。该研究得到了大学伦理审查委员会的批准。对20名参与者进行了初步研究,没有发现差异。结果:218名学生中,男学生85名(36%),女学生133名(61%)。在85名男学生中,有74名学生没有决定自己的职业偏好。在133名女学生中,有94名学生尚未决定职业偏好。在影响职业选择的因素方面,学习年限/水平与职业选择有显著的相关性(p值:0.001)。二年级学生报告的不确定性最高(89%),四年级学生报告的不确定性第二高(85%),五年级学生报告的不确定性最低(51%)。职业不确定性也与学生考虑改变职业的频率显著相关(p值:0.002)。经常或一直考虑转行的人报告的不确定性最高(100%),而从未考虑过转行的人报告的不确定性最低(57%)。研究表明,相当数量的医学生对自己的职业意向不确定。研究证明,学习年份、性别和对医学领域的总体满意度是导致MBBS后职业选择不确定的主要因素。最后一年的学生和那些从未想过换工作的人最确定自己的职业意向。虽然结果与若干国家和国际研究一致,但也注意到不同研究中所述结果的差异。

Major Factors Causing Uncertainties in Career Selection Among Medical Students of Gujranwala Medical College
Background: Diverse factors influence the career choice of medical students. This study was carried out to identify career preferences and factors influencing specialty selection among undergraduate medical students of Gujranwala Medical College which has students from multiple cities including Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Faisalabad to name a few. Hence this study will be valuable for the medical education sector because understanding career uncertainty at Gujranwala Medical College will also provide ways of developing better tools and counseling programs to help medical students throughout Pakistan prepare for their future. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among students of Gujranwala medical college. As the sample size for this study was not too large and the targeted audience had close physical proximity, a structured paper questionnaire was used containing multiple-choice questions, dichotomous questions as well as scaling questions with content ranging from their career preferences after MBBS to assessing possible factors that may have influenced their choice of specialty. All information gathered was on a volunteer basis. Anonymity and confidentiality were maintained. The study was approved by the college ethical review committee. A pilot study was done on 20 participants and no discrepancies were found.  Results: Out of 218 students, 85 (36%) were male and 133 (61%) were female. Out of the 85 male students, 74 students were undecided about career preference. Out of the 133 female students, 94 students were undecided about career preference. Regarding factors influencing career choice, year/level of study was proven to have a significant association with career choice (p value-value: 0.001). 2nd Year students reported the highest uncertainty (89%), 4th Year students reported the second-highest uncertainty (85%), 5th Year students reported the lowest uncertainty (51%). Career uncertainty also had a significant association with how often students thought about changing their career (p-value: 0.002). The ones who often or always thought about changing careers reported the highest uncertainty (100%), while the ones who never thought about changing careers reported the lowest uncertainty (57%). Conclusion: Study The study has shown that a significant number of medical students are uncertain about their career intentions. Year of study, gender, and general satisfaction with the medical field was proven to be major factors in causing such uncertainty about career choice after MBBS. Final year students were most certain about career intentions along with those who never thought about changing careers. While results were consistent with several national and international studies, variability in said results across different studies was also noted.
