Early career health science professionals often find themselves in a transitional space when moving from a health science professional role to academia. The role of a postgraduate supervisor is especially troublesome. Transitional spaces often bring uncertainty and perceived or real threats, fear, worry, anxiety and stress. Without support, the result could be detrimental to the mental health of the early career as postgraduate supervisors, thereby impacting their professional identity formation.
To understand the underlying elements that shaped the early career health science professional as postgraduate supervisors' habitus and how these features play out in their postgraduate supervision practice.
The research study was carried out at an Open and Distance e-Learning University (ODeL) and a residential university.
Visual elicitation methods in the form of seven drawings were used as data. Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of and were used as a theoretical lens, and structural analysis with analytical memoing was used to interrogate the drawings.
Early career health science professional as postgraduate supervisors' bodily habitus presented as fragmented or yet to be formed along with other entanglements, such as emotions, language, power and material arrangements.
These features enable policymakers, employee assistance practitioners, educational developers and experienced academics to consider the changes and structural forces that need to be addressed to support early career health science professional as postgraduate supervisors.
A creative means of exploring the inner world of the early career health science professional as postgraduate supervisors is undertaken. In doing so, the research article potentially illuminates what has up to now been 'unsaid'.
早期职业健康科学专业人员在从健康科学专业角色转向学术界时，常常发现自己处于一个过渡阶段。研究生导师的角色尤其棘手。过渡阶段往往会带来不确定性以及感知到的或实际的威胁、恐惧、担忧、焦虑和压力。如果没有支持，这可能会对早期职业健康科学专业人员作为研究生导师的心理健康产生不利影响，从而影响他们的职业身份形成。
了解塑造早期职业健康科学专业人员作为研究生导师的惯习的潜在因素，以及这些特征在他们的研究生指导实践中是如何体现的。
该研究在一所开放和远程电子学习大学（ODeL）和一所住宿制大学进行。
以七幅绘图形式呈现的视觉启发法被用作数据。皮埃尔·布迪厄的习性和场域概念被用作理论视角，并采用带有分析性备忘录的结构分析来审视这些绘图。
早期职业健康科学专业人员作为研究生导师的身体惯习呈现出碎片化或尚未形成的状态，同时还伴随着其他一些纠葛，如情感、语言、权力和物质安排。
这些特征使政策制定者、员工援助从业者、教育开发者和经验丰富的学者能够考虑为支持早期职业健康科学专业人员作为研究生导师而需要解决的变化和结构力量。
采用了一种创造性的方式来探索早期职业健康科学专业人员作为研究生导师的内心世界。通过这样做，这篇研究文章有可能揭示迄今为止一直“未被言说”的内容。
