摘要

背景。精神障碍的全球负担继续增加,造成严重的健康、社会和经济后果。不幸的是,世界各地对精神卫生保健的需求与提供之间的差距仍然很大。在阿拉伯联合酋长国,招募和保留精神科医生是一个长期存在的问题,社会耻辱感起着潜在的作用。本研究旨在调查影响精神病医生选择精神病学作为阿拉伯联合酋长国实践领域的因素。方法。本横断面研究采用匿名30项在线问卷进行。在招募参与者之前,获得了阿拉伯联合酋长国大学社会科学研究伦理委员会的伦理批准。我们招募了目前在阿拉伯联合酋长国工作的合格精神科医生。结构化问卷评估参与者的社会人口学因素和选择精神病学的原因。统计分析,包括Pearson相关性和卡方检验,使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)版本26进行。结果。我们发现,在阿拉伯联合酋长国接受培训的医生更有可能面临专门从事精神病学的反对(p值< 0.001)。家庭成员或朋友是精神病医生的参与者更有可能选择精神病学作为首选专业(p值0.01)。年龄在35岁以下的精神科医生更有可能面临反对他们决定专攻精神病学(p值0.006)。在统计上,对自己选择专攻精神病学的决定感到后悔的精神科医生在实习的第一年更有可能有这种感觉(p值< 0.001)。结论。在阿拉伯联合酋长国,多种社会人口因素影响着对专门从事精神病学决定的反应。年轻人和在阿拉伯联合酋长国学习或曾经是阿拉伯联合酋长国公民的人更有可能在他们选择专攻精神病学的决定上面临反对,这说明了为什么阿拉伯联合酋长国的海外精神科医生比例如此之高,而该职业却存在短缺。

Motivations and Limitations of Pursuing a Career in Psychiatry: A Cross-Sectional Study from the United Arab Emirates
Background. The global burden of mental disorders continues to grow with significant health, social, and economic consequences. Unfortunately, the gap between the need for mental healthcare and its provision remains wide all over the world. The recruitment and retention of psychiatrists is a long-standing concern in the United Arab Emirates, with social stigma playing a potential role. This study is aimed at investigating the factors that affect psychiatrists’ choice of psychiatry as an area of practice in the United Arab Emirates. Methods. This cross-sectional study was undertaken using an anonymized 30-item online questionnaire. Ethical approval was obtained from the United Arab Emirates University Social Sciences Research Ethics Committee prior to participant recruitment. We recruited qualified psychiatrists currently working in the United Arab Emirates. The structured questionnaire assessed the participants’ sociodemographic factors and reasons for choosing psychiatry. Statistical analysis, including Pearson correlations and chi-square tests, was performed using the statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 26. Results. We found that the doctors trained in the United Arab Emirates were statistically more likely to face opposition to specializing in psychiatry ( p value < 0.001). Participants with a family member or friend as a psychiatrist were more likely to choose psychiatry as a first-choice specialty ( p value 0.01). Psychiatrists below the age of 35 were more statistically likely to face opposition to their decision to specialize in psychiatry ( p value 0.006). Psychiatrists who regretted their decision to specialize in psychiatry were statistically more likely to feel this way in their first year of residency ( p value < 0.001). Conclusions. Multiple sociodemographic factors influence responses to the decision to specialize in psychiatry in the United Arab Emirates. Younger people and people who studied in or were a citizen of the United Arab Emirates were more likely to face opposition to their decision to specialize in psychiatry, indicating why there are such high rates of psychiatrists from overseas in the United Arab Emirates and shortages in the profession.
