RESUMO
Os autores analisaram a escolha de residência médica em Pediatria dentre 877 egressos do curso de Medicina da Universidade de Brasília, formados no período 1994-2007. Os dados abrangeram descritores demográficos e de aprendizagem, preferência inicial por carreira, monitoria, rendimento acadêmico, estágio seletivo no internato e inscrição para residência médica. Efetuaram-se análises de contingência e de regressão logística agrupando-se os egressos por escolha de Pediatria ou não. Do total, 9,7 por cento escolheram Pediatria, dentre os quais 44,7 por cento mostraram atração inicial e 45,9 por cento expressaram interesse pela área já na fase clínica. No período 2002-2007, houve declínio significante da escolha, em conexão com menor procura por monitoria e estágio seletivo na área, mas sem tendência temporal na atração inicial. A regressão logística identificou cinco fatores preditivos, nesta ordem decrescente de magnitude de efeito na escolha estágio seletivo, rendimento global, estilo de aprendizagem reflexivo, ordem de preferência inicial e época da graduação. Os efeitos independentes de sexo e monitoria não foram significantes. Concluindo, os fatores preditivos da escolha de Pediatria incluíram indicadores pessoais e curriculares em vertentes distintas de interesse e influência, num quadro de queda recente da opção pela área.
ABSTRACT
The authors analyzed Pediatrics as career choice in a study involving 877 graduates from the University of Brasilia from 1994 to 2007. Data included demographics, learning attributes, early career preference, peer-tutoring experience, academic achievement, selective training in the last semester, and choice of residency training. Contingency and logistic regression analyses were performed with the graduates grouped according to choice of Pediatrics versus all other options. Overall, 9.7 percent of graduates had chosen Pediatrics, of whom 44.7 percent had indicated early attraction to the specialty, while another 45.9 percent did not express interest until their clinical training. No significant trend was shown for early attraction, but a lower proportion of graduates chose Pediatrics in the last 6 years, in parallel with fewer applications for tutoring experience and selective training. Logistic regression identified five predictors of choice in decreasing order of effect size selective training, overall achievement, reflective learning style, ranking of early preference, and time of graduation. Independent ef fects of gender and peer tutoring were not statistically significant. In conclusion, the predictors of choice of Pediatrics comprised personal and curricular features in distinct patterns of interest and influence, within an overall context of decreasing choice of the specialty in recent years.
