The aim of this paper was to examine the influence of a clinical attachment in psychiatry on medical students' attitudes to psychiatry as a specialty and potential career.
Medical students at Sydney Medical School were surveyed following an 8-week clinical attachment in psychiatry. Secondary analyses sought to identify associations with variables such as age, gender and level of clinical experience as a medical student.
Following a clinical attachment in psychiatry, 80% of students rated their attitude to psychiatry as more positive. Approximately 32% rated themselves as likely or very likely to choose a career in psychiatry. No differences were seen with respect to gender, age or stage of training. The quality of the teaching, enthusiasm of the clinical teachers, the holistic approach and scientific basis of psychiatry were cited by students as factors influencing attitudes.
The clinical rotation in psychiatry is a significant factor influencing medical student attitudes towards psychiatry.
本文旨在探讨精神病学临床实习对医学生将精神病学视为一门专业及潜在职业的态度的影响。
悉尼医学院的医学生在完成8周的精神病学临床实习后接受了调查。二次分析旨在确定与年龄、性别和医学生临床经验水平等变量之间的关联。
在完成精神病学临床实习后,80%的学生对精神病学的态度更为积极。约32%的学生认为自己有可能或非常有可能选择从事精神病学职业。在性别、年龄或培训阶段方面未发现差异。学生们认为教学质量、临床教师的热情、精神病学的整体方法和科学基础是影响态度的因素。
精神病学临床轮转是影响医学生对精神病学态度的一个重要因素。
