RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Describir e identificar los factores que se relacionan con la expectativa de emigrar de los internos de medicina de la Universidad de Cuenca, Ecuador. Material y

Métodos:

Estudio transversal analítico. Se encuestó a internos de medicina en su lugar de práctica. Se presentó medidas de frecuencia, de posición y de dispersión, se realizó un análisis de Chi cuadrado (Prueba X2) y se utilizó modelos de regresión logística simple. Se describió el odds ratio y su respectivo intervalo de confianza al 95%.

Resultados:

Participaron 152 internos de medicina de la Universidad de Cuenca, el 72,4% están interesados en emigrar motivados en su mayor parte por razones educativas. Entre los destinos más requeridos están España, México, Argentina, Chile y Estados Unidos. El 3,6% indicó que no regresaría al país. Se identificaron como factores protectores relacionados con el interés de emigrar a provenir de otras provincias (OR0,19; IC 95% 0,04-0,83) y estudiar en Ecuador en el caso de que su postgrado se imparta en el país (OR0,24; IC 95% 0,08-0,69), como factores de riesgo a trabajar en una zona urbana (OR4,33; IC 95% 1,15-16,24) y cumplir con expectativa de ingreso económico en un país distinto al Ecuador (OR2,76; IC 95% 1,24-6,14).

Conclusión:

Se encontró un elevado porcentaje de futuros médicos que piensan emigrar, en su mayor parte, interesados en acceder a una especialidad para su desarrollo profesional, siendo los países con un mejor desarrollo económico sus destinos de preferencia.
ABSTRACT

Objective:

To describe and identify factors related to the expectations of potential emigrant medical interns from University of Cuenca, Ecuador, 2012. Material and

Methods:

An analytical crosssectional study. Medical interns were surveyed in their places of practice. Measures of frequency, position and dispersion were presented. The Chisquare test and simple logistic regression were used. The odds ratio and its respective confidence interval of 95% were described.

Results:

152 medical interns of University of Cuenca participated. Of those, 72.4% said they were interested in emigrating. They were highly motivated for educational reasons. The most requested destinations were Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and the United States. 3.6% of medical interns said they would not return to Ecuador. Protective factors related to emigration interest were identified as coming from provinces other than Azuay (OR 0.19, 95% CI 0.04 to 0.83) and whether it is possible to study their chosen specialty in Ecuador (OR 0.24, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.69). Risk factors were identified as working in an urban area (OR 4.33, 95% CI 1.15 to 16.24) and meeting financial expectations in another country (OR 2.76, 95% CI 1.24 to 6.14).

Conclusion:

The study found that a high percentage of doctors are thinking of emigrating. They are interested in accessing a specialty for their professional development. Countries with better economic development are their preferred destinations.
