Resumen
Objectives
The election of a medical specialty is an important and multivariate decision for the medial student. Investigation of personality traits and its relationship between a potential election or the election of a medical residency is important, since it allows a future early orientation that promotes health and well-being in students, decreasing the impact of work- related stress and phenomena such as burnout syndrome. The objective was to analyze the relationship between personality traits prevalent among final year medical students with their area of interest in a potential election of a medical residency, and among students of medical residencies in Universidad del Rosario.
Methods
This is an observational, analytical, cross – sectional study, with 2 reference groups: last year medicine students and medical residents from Universidad del Rosario. For this purpose, the Big Five Inventory (BFI-2) questionnaire was applied. This questionnaire has 30 items and was completed with other variables in the questionnaire.
Results
We used a sample of 83 medical students, and 167 residents, in which the BFI-2S (Big Five Inventory – 2) will be applied to identify five fundamental dimensions for the description and evaluation of personality, and then establish the possible associations and differences between the two evaluated groups.
Conclusions
Conclusion: The early identification of personality traits could play a role at an individual level in the decision making in terms of a career in the medical field. Promoting the cultivation of personality traits and their configuration in students, may have a positive impact in health and resilience.
