عنوان انگلیسی The Effect of Psychiatric Clerkship on Fifth Year Medical Students’ Attitudes Toward Psychiatry and Their Intention to Pursue Psychiatry as a Career
چکیده انگلیسی مقاله Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine whether attitudes toward psychiatry improved during psychiatric attachment as well as the relationship between attitudes to psychiatry and intention to pursue psychiatry as a career. It also assessed the relationship between students’ characteristics with their attitudes toward psychiatry and intention to pursue psychiatry as a career before and after psychiatric attachment. Method: On the first and last day of their psychiatric attachment 109 fifth year medical students of Shaheed Beheshti Medical University who entered medical school in September 2000 were asked to participate in the study. They completed a demographic form and “Attitude toward Psychiatry Questionnaire”. They also responded to two questions which measured their intention to pursue psychiatry as a prospective career. Results: Students had favorable attitude toward psychiatry before the attachment, with mean score of 84.14 on Attitude to Psychiatry Questionnaire (neutral score 72). These attitudes become more positive after attachment. Students’ intention to pursue psychiatry as a career increased during attachment. There was also a significant increase in students’ intention to pursue psychiatry as a career during attachment . Improvement in attitudes was related to an increased intention to pursue psychiatry as a career. Conclusion: The study confirms earlier reports of a significant positive impact of undergraduate psychiatric attachment on medical students’ attitudes toward psychiatry and their intention to pursue psychiatry. Thus, teaching psychiatry at an undergraduate level may well have important implications, not only in terms of the way future doctors who are not psychiatrists respond to patients psychological difficulties, but also in terms of future recruitment into the specialty.
