摘要

基本原理和目标：放射学在现代医疗保健中起着至关重要的作用，因为它促进了不同专业各种医疗条件的诊断和治疗。因此，本研究旨在了解医学生选择放射学作为未来职业的因素。材料和方法：本横断面研究采用在线自我管理问卷。数据仅从沙特阿拉伯伊玛目阿卜杜勒拉赫曼·本·费萨尔大学的医科学生中收集，时间为2023年8月至9月。卡方检验用于评估与医学生未来专业选择相关的因素。结果：共有431名符合条件的受访者完成了调查；女性267例（61.9%），年龄18 ~ 36岁。当被问及他们选择的专业时，209人（48.5%）对外科和内科感兴趣，而只有81人（18.8%）选择放射学。至于影响选择放射学的因素，大多数受访者（85.6%）认为生活方式是影响选择放射学的重要因素，其次是对病人护理（83.5%）、工作环境（82.1%）、智力挑战（79.8%）、是否有手术（76.6%）、与病人接触程度（76.1%）和已有放射学经验（75.9%）的影响。结论：影响医学生选择放射学作为未来职业的因素很多。工作环境、当前暴露、专业知识、与患者接触程度和工作与生活平衡是影响医学生选择放射学作为未来专业的主要因素。

Factors Influencing Choosing Diagnostic Radiology As a Specialty Among Medical Students

Rationale and Objectives

Radiology plays a crucial role in modern healthcare as it facilitates the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions in different specialties. Therefore, this study aimed to gain insights into the factors that contribute to medical students choosing radiology as a future career.

Materials and Methods

This cross-sectional study used an online, self-administered questionnaire. Data were collected exclusively from medical students at Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University in Saudi Arabia from August to September 2023. The chi-square test was used to assess the factors associated with medical students’ choices as a future specialty.

Results

A total of 431 eligible respondents completed the survey; 267 (61.9%) were female, and their ages ranged from 18–36 years. When asked about their specialty of choice, 209 (48.5%) were interested in surgery and internal medicine, whereas only 81 (18.8%) chose radiology. Regarding the factors influencing the choice of radiology, the majority (85.6%) reported the importance of lifestyle in their choice, followed by the impact on patient care (83.5%), work environment (82.1%), intellectual challenge (79.8%), presence of procedures (76.6%), degree of patient contact (76.1%), and pre-existing experience of radiology (75.9%).

Conclusion

Many factors influence medical students’ choices of radiology as a future career. Predominantly, the working environment, current exposure, knowledge of the specialty, extent of patient contact, and work–life balance were chosen as the main factors affecting medical students’ choices when considering radiology as a future specialty.
