Evaluation of Occupational Self-Efficacy Beliefs of Newly-Graduated Physicians
Öz
Method: This descriptive study was carried out at Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of Medicine between 15-30.06.2019. 258 physicians who graduated on the specified date participated in the study. A questionnaire form created by the researchers was used in this study. 20 Diseases/clinical problems and five symptoms/clinical conditions that cause maximum loss of DALYs in Turkey were used to evaluate professional self-efficacy beliefs. Physicians were asked if they considered themselves competent in terms of emergency intervention, pre-diagnosis, diagnosis, treatment, follow-up process and prevention methods of the disease /clinical problems. Physicians answered these questions as yes/no. The given answers were evaluated based on the minimum learning levels specified in Pre-Graduate Medical Education UÇEP 2014. For the five symptoms/clinical conditions, the physicians were asked if they found themselves competent in “patient management”. Necessary permissions were obtained before the application. Physicians' responses are expressed as percentage and mean ± standard deviation.
Results: 55.0% of the physicians are women and the average age is 25.12 ± 1.81 years. 63.9% of the physicians stated that they can perform emergency treatment of ischemic heart disease, 50.4% can diagnose diabetes, and 39.5% can treat lower respiratory diseases. 42.3% of the physicians stated that they can apply preventive measures (those suitable for primary, secondary, and tertiary protection) for ischemic heart disease. 72.9% of the physicians consider themselves as competent in the management of the patient with low back pain and 65.5% of the neck pain. The ratio of physicians who consider themselves competent in the management of the patient who has had a traffic accident is 46.5%. The participation of physicians in 12 of the propositions regarding competencies is below 70%. Those who voluntarily prefer to attend medical faculty responded to the proposals regarding competencies at a statistically significant rate at a higher rate than those who did not. Those who stated that they would prefer the Faculty of Medicine again if they had the chance to make a choice again, gave a statistically significantly more positive response to the propositions regarding competencies.
Conclusion: It has been determined that self-efficacy beliefs are low in terms of learning levels related to the disease/clinical problem/symptom/clinical situations that new graduates will frequently encounter in their medical life. To strengthen the professional self-efficacy beliefs of new graduates, it is thought that the intern education program should be revised.
