ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: Existen múltiples factores que impactan la decisión de un joven en estudiar una licenciatura en medicina, como: la oportunidad de brindar un servicio a la comunidad, el prestigio, el beneficio económico inherente al ejercicio profesional o la satisfacción de mejorar su entorno inmediato. Algunos estudios vinculan estos factores con la permanencia de los médicos en formación en los programas académicos, de tal forma que el objetivo del estudio fue analizar la motivación para estudiar medicina en estudiantes de preparatoria. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: El estudio tiene un enfoque cuantitativo y transversal. Se aplicó la escala MEM-12 de motivaciones para estudiar medicina. Se consideraron las tendencias en la motivación a través de la media y la desviación estándar, se realizó un análisis factorial exploratorio con el método de componentes principales, y se estimó la consistencia interna del instrumento mediante el alfa de Cronbach. RESULTADOS: El análisis factorial resultó en la identificación de 2 grupos de motivadores: social/altruista (alfa = 0,98) y prestigio/económico (alfa = 0,96), los cuales explican en conjunto el 88,98% de la varianza y presenta una adecuada consistencia interna global (alfa = 0,94). CONCLUSIÓN: Los estudiantes de medicina que participaron en el estudio evidencian una alta tendencia hacia la motivación intrínseca, es decir que se preocupan por el beneficio a su comunidad y la aportación que como médicos pueden realizar para mejorar su entorno


INTRODUCTION: There are multiple factors that impact the decision of a young person to study a degree in medicine. These include, the opportunity to provide a service to the community, the professional prestige, the economic benefit inherent to exercising the profession, or the satisfaction of improving their immediate environment. Some studies link these factors with the permanence of physicians in training in academic programs, in such a way that the objective of the study was to analyse the motivation to study medicine in high school students. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross-sectional quantitative study was carried out using the MEM-12 motivation scale. The trends in the motivation were analysed using the mean and the standard deviation. An exploratory factor analysis was also carried out using the principal components method, with the internal consistency of the tool being estimated using Cronbach's alpha. RESULTS: The factor analysis led to the identification of two groups of motivators: social/altruistic (alpha = 0.98) and prestige/economic (alpha = 0.96), which together explained 88.98% of the variance and has an adequate global internal consistency (alpha = 0.94). CONCLUSION: The medical students who participated in the study show a high tendency towards intrinsic motivation, that is, they are concerned about the benefit to their community and the contribution that they, as doctors, can make to improve their environment

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: La formación del alumno de medicina es dinámica y multifactorial, requiere de entrenamiento constante con los recursos necesarios bajo la tutela de un profesor clínico que le guíe a desarrollar su máximo potencial. El objetivo de esta investigación fue diseñar y validar un instrumento que permita conocer la percepción de los alumnos sobre la calidad de los campos clínicos donde participan en sus rotaciones. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Es un estudio de tipo cuantitativo, observacional, descriptivo, prospectivo y transversal. La población participante fueron los 148 alumnos del quinto año de la carrera de medicina de una universidad privada al norte de México. Se elaboró una herramienta de 30 ítems que evalúa la calidad de los campos clínicos en tres variables: estructura, tutoría, y proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje, en una escala Likert de 4 niveles que va desde 1, totalmente en desacuerdo, a 5, totalmente de acuerdo. Para el estudio se considera el análisis de ítem para evaluar la consistencia interna, así como la prueba ANOVA, prueba Tukey, y estadística descriptiva para estudiar las tendencias por factores y por servicio. RESULTADOS: Se obtuvo un alfa de Cronbach de 0,9549. La media del factor de estructura fue 3,64, la media de tutoría fue 4,03 y la de proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje, 4,18. El servicio que recibió una evaluación más favorable fue Pediatría, obteniendo una diferencia significativa en los elementos de estructura (p = 0,008) y tutoría (p = 0,003). DISCUSIÓN: Aunque la media observada en la percepción de los alumnos indica un nivel adecuado de la tutoría y el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje, al hacer un análisis por sede se observa una amplia variación de la calidad de enseñanza ofrecida. Como instituciones educativas esto es un foco de atención porque significa que los alumnos no adquieren ni desarrollan sus competencias de igual manera en todos los campos clínicos


INTRODUCTION: Medical student training is dynamic and multifactorial. It requires continuing education and training under the tutelage of a clinic professor, who will guide the student to develop optimal potential. The objective of this study was to design and validate a tool to measure student perception on the learning quality of clinical rotations. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study is quantitative, observational, descriptive, prospective, and cross-sectional. The study sample was consisted of 148 fifth-year medical students from a private university in northern Mexico. A 30 item questionnaire was developed to assess quality of clinical stewardships in three variables: structure, tutoring, and teaching-learning process. A five-level Likert scale from 1, absolutely disagree, to 5, absolutely agree, was used. The study used item analysis to estimate internal consistency, as well as ANOVA, Tukey and descriptive statistics to assess the tendencies by factors and stewardship. RESULTS: Cronbach alpha was 0.9549. The structure factor mean was 3.64, tutoring 4.03, and teaching-learning process 4.18. Paediatrics received the most favourable evaluation by obtaining a significant difference in the element structure (P=.008) and tutoring (P=.003). DISCUSSION: Even though the mean observed among tutoring and teaching-learning process indicates an adequate level of student perception, under the analysis per field, a significant variation was found in the quality of learning experience. As an academic institution, this is a concern because students are not acquiring or developing the same level of skills in all stewardships

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of fecal incontinence and the impact on the quality of life of hospitalized geriatric patients in a sample from a level two hospital in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Hospitalized patients over 60 years of age or their caregivers were questioned about the presence of fecal incontinence. Those who responded affirmatively and could respond were given the following questionnaires and scales: Mini-Mental, Rockwood quality of life for fecal incontinence and Wexner scale modified for severity of incontinence; in addition to clinical data. The frequency was calculated based on a sample and associations were determined between degree of incontinence and quality of life. RESULTS: A total of 234 patients were questioned, of whom 135 (57.69%) were women and 99 (42.31%) men. A total of 34 patients with fecal incontinence were documented, this represents a frequency of 14.53% (95% CI, 10.28-19.71%) in this population. A positive correlation of the severity of incontinence was found with the lifestyle dimension (relation (r) = -0.61, p = 0.04), shame (r = -0.70, p = 0.01), behavior (r = -0.73, p = 0.001) and the average of the four dimensions (r = -0.67, p = 0.02) but not with the depression dimension of the quality of life questionnaire in fecal incontinence. CONCLUSION: When compared with other national and international studies, the frequency of fecal incontinence found was lower than that documented in other series. The quality of life of hospitalized elderly patients with fecal incontinence in this sample was diminished and its impact on quality of life correlated with the severity of fecal incontinence.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar la frecuencia de incontinencia fecal y el impacto en la calidad de vida de los pacientes geriátricos hospitalizados en una muestra de un hospital de segundo nivel de Monterrey, Nuevo León, México. Material y métodos: Se interrogó a los pacientes mayores de 60 años hospitalizados o sus cuidadores acerca de incontinencia fecal. A los que respondieran afirmativamente y pudieran responder se les realizaron los siguientes cuestionarios y escalas: Minimental, calidad de vida de Rockwood para incontinencia fecal y escala de Wexner modificada para severidad de incontinencia; además de datos clínicos. Se calculó la frecuencia en base a una muestra y se determinaron asociaciones entre grado de incontinencia y calidad de vida. Resultados: Se interrogaron un total de 234 pacientes, de los cuales 135 (57,69%) eran mujeres y 99 (42,31%) hombres. Se documentó un total de 34 pacientes con incontinencia fecal, esto representa una frecuencia de 14,53% (IC95%, 10,2819,71%) en esta población. Se encontró una correlación positiva de la severidad de la incontinencia con la dimensión de estilo de vida (relación (r) = -0,61, p=0,04), vergüenza (r=-0,70, p=0,01), conducta (r=-0,73, p=0,001) y el promedio de las cuatro dimensiones (r=-0,67, p=0,02) pero no con la dimensión de depresión del cuestionario de calidad de vida en incontinencia fecal. Conclusión: Al comparar con otros estudios nacionales e internacionales, la frecuencia de incontinencia fecal encontrada es menor a lo documentado en otras series. La calidad de vida de los pacientes ancianos hospitalizados con incontinencia fecal en esta muestra se encuentra disminuida y su impacto en la calidad de vida se correlaciona con la severidad de la incontinencia fecal.
