In the background of reported high distress among medical students and health professionals, character building at the level of health institutions may be helpful for augmenting academic performance and nurturing well-being during the training period of budding health professionals.
This study aims to assess non-cognitive positive traits, particularly Values in Action-character strengths related to the virtue of courage among trainees and doctors. It may reveal the association of challenging situations being faced in health profession with inculcation of the virtue of courage.
Data regarding character strengths profile with reference to the psychological virtue of courage among students and residents of dental institution ( = 54) were collected and analyzed.
Participants of all the three groups were found to display at least a minimum of each of the character strengths included in the virtue of courage. Perseverance was significantly higher in postgraduate students than undergraduate students and senior residents. Recurrent physician burnout has been reported to be associated with distress symptoms during their medical education at least once.
Positive institutions may play an important role to reduce the intensity and incidence of distress sequelae among medical students by taking initiatives for character building, with reference to augmenting character strengths of virtue of courage.
鉴于有报道称医学生和卫生专业人员中存在高度的困扰，在卫生机构层面开展品格塑造可能有助于提高学业成绩，并在初出茅庐的卫生专业人员培训期间培养幸福感。
本研究旨在评估非认知性积极特质，特别是与勇气美德相关的行动价值观——品格优势，这些特质存在于实习生和医生中。这可能揭示卫生职业中面临的具有挑战性的情况与灌输勇气美德之间的关联。
收集并分析了牙科机构54名学生和住院医师中与勇气心理美德相关的品格优势概况数据。
发现所有三组参与者至少都展现出了勇气美德中包含的每种品格优势的最低水平。研究生的毅力显著高于本科生和高级住院医师。据报道，反复出现的医生职业倦怠与他们在医学教育期间至少一次出现的困扰症状有关。
积极的机构可以通过采取品格塑造举措，增强勇气美德的品格优势，在降低医学生困扰后遗症的强度和发生率方面发挥重要作用。
