Resumo: | Introduction: Perfectionism and intolerance to frustration are the main factors of vulnerability to psychological stress observed in students of the Integrated Master Degree in Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra, a study claims. We aimed to ascertain their reasons, seeking for their prevention.Material and Methods: An observational triangulation study was performed, collecting the main reasons according to the opinion of a students focus-group, organized in a questionnaire completed with epidemiologic data, applied online to all students of the Integrated Master Degree in Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra. Statistical analysis was performed.Results: A representative sample, of n = 368, 77.7% female, was studied. The most important responded reasons were ‘intrinsic factors’ and ‘medical profession demands’, with, respectively, 91.1% and 91.8% of ’important’/’very important’ answers; ‘environmental pressure’ is the less important, with 68.2% attributing those classifications. Students satisfied with curricular life attribute less importance to ’environmental pressure’ (p = 0.004), ‘insecurity about professional training’ (p = 0.017), ‘curricular evaluation methods’ (p = 0.002) and ‘Integrated Master Degree in Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra curricular demands’ (p = 0.002); female students assign more importance to ‘Integrated Master Degree in Medicine curricular demands’ (p = 0.001); students involved in an extracurricular activity consider less important the ‘environmental pressure’ (p = 0.007).Discussion: In this Integrated Master Degree in Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra students sample, vulnerability to psychological stress associated to perfectionism and intolerance to frustration is due essentially to self-demanding personality. Insecurity about professional demands, associated to suffering in anticipation and the absence of professional perspectives, represent another important cause.Conclusion: Psychological support, involvement in specific extracurricular activities and curricular reorganisation appear to be means of reducing the vulnerability to stress in medical students. |

Este estudo procurou investigar a causalidade dos mesmos para sua prevenção.Material e Métodos: Estudo observacional em triangulação, qualitativo-quantitativo, com inventariação dos principais motivos em painel de alunos, sendo a listagem obtida organizada e colocada em questionário complementado com inquérito epidemiológico, aplicado online a todos os alunos do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Coimbra, seguindo-se análise estatística.Resultados: Estudou-se amostra representativa, de n = 368, 77,7% do sexo feminino. Os principais motivos para perfeccionismo e intolerância à frustração são ’fatores intrínsecos‘ e ’exigências da profissão médica‘, com, respetivamente, 91,1% e 91,8% de respostas 'importante’ / ’muito importante‘; ’pressão ambiental‘ é o menos importante, com 68,2% em tais classificações. Alunos satisfeitos com a vida curricular atribuem menor importância à ’pressão ambiental‘ (p = 0,004), ‘insegurança quanto à formação profissional’ (p = 0,017), ‘métodos de avaliação curricular’ (p = 0,002) e ’exigências curriculares do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina‘ (p = 0,002); o sexo feminino dá maior importância às ’exigências curriculares do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina‘ (p = 0,001); alunos inseridos em atividade extracurricular, consideram menos importante a ’pressão ambiental‘ (p = 0,007).Discussão: Nesta amostra a vulnerabilidade ao stress psicológico por perfeccionismo e intolerância à frustração depende essencialmente da personalidade auto-exigente. Outro importante fator corresponde à insegurança relativamente às exigências profissionais, com sofrimento por antecipação e ausência de perspetiva profissional.Conclusão: O suporte psicológico, o envolvimento em atividades extracurriculares específicas e a reestruturação curricular parecem ser formas de diminuir a vulnerabilidade ao stress nos estudantes de medicina.Ordem dos Médicos2018-10-31info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/mswordapplication/pdfhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/9976oai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/9976Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 31 No. 10 (2018): October; 527-533Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 31 N.º 10 (2018): Outubro; 527-5331646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporenghttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/9976https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/9976/5512https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/9976/6054https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/9976/10074https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/9976/10353https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/9976/10669Direitos de Autor (c) 2018 Acta Médica Portuguesainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBatista, SaraSantiago, Luiz MiguelRosendo, Inês2022-12-20T11:05:51Zoai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/9976Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:19:46.900846Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
