Resumo: | Background: The context where medical students are trained and their expectations towards professional life are paramount to plan the distribution, retention and motivation of the health workforce. In this study we compare the evolution of professional expectations of medical students of Guinea-Bissau, between 2007 and 2016. Material and Methods: We compare the results of two descriptive, cross-sectional studies where we applied a questionnaire. We conducted descriptive statistical analysis and content analysis. Results: In both years, most students were men, had family members who were health professionals, had attended school in Bissau, intended to work in the hospital and in the public sector. In 2016, the proportion of those willing to work outside Bissau had increased. They had not yet decided on the area of specialization and had high expectations towards futures earnings. Discussion: Despite the strong orientation towards hospital among, there was an increase in the proportion of students willing to work outside Bissau which presents an opportunity to bridge the gap between the needs of the health system and the expectations of future doctors. The expectations on future earnings should be worked at training level and in the institutions responsible for the planning of the health workforce to avoid detrimental effects on young doctors. The postponement of a decision on the area of specialization might present an opportunity of convergence with the national health strategy. Conclusion: No major changes occurred in the professional expectations of medical students of Guinea Bissau, between 2007 and 2016. |

Neste estudo, comparámos a evolução das expetativas profissionais dos alunos de medicina da Guiné-Bissau entre 2007 e 2016. Material e métodos: Comparámos os resultados de dois estudos transversais descritivos, obtidos através de um questionário. Procedeu-se a análise estatística e análise de conteúdo dos dados. Resultados: Em ambos os anos, os alunos eram maioritariamente homens, tinham familiares profissionais de saúde, tinham realizado o percurso escolar em Bissau, tencionavam trabalhar no hospital e no sector público. Em 2016, a proporção daqueles dispostos a trabalhar fora de Bissau aumentou. Ainda não se tinham decidido acerca da especialização e tinham expetativas elevadas relativamente aos rendimentos. Discussão: Apesar da forte orientação para o setor hospitalar, houve um aumento da disponibilidade para trabalhar na periferia, o que pode constituir uma oportunidade de adequação entre aquilo que são as necessidades dos sistemas de saúde e as expetativas dos futuros profissionais. As ambições salariais devem ser trabalhadas a nível da formação e das instituições responsáveis pela política de recursos humanos, com possíveis efeitos nefastos para os jovens profissionais caso tal não aconteça. A decisão mais tardia por uma especialidade representa uma oportunidade de convergência com as prioridades da estratégia nacional de saúde. Conclusão: Não se verificaram grandes alterações nas expetativas profissionais dos jovens estudantes de medicina da Guiné-Bissau entre 2007 e 2016.Universidade Nova de Lisboa2020-10-21T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.25761/anaisihmt.359oai:ojs.anaisihmt.com:article/359Anais do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical; Vol 19 (2020): Pandemias, epidemias e crises humanitárias: proteger os recursos humanos em saúde; 79-86Anais do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical; v. 19 (2020): Pandemias, epidemias e crises humanitárias: proteger os recursos humanos em saúde; 79-862184-23100303-7762reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttp://anaisihmt.com/index.php/ihmt/article/view/359https://doi.org/10.25761/anaisihmt.359http://anaisihmt.com/index.php/ihmt/article/view/359/293http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFronteira, InêsSá Guerreiro, CátiaNeves, ClotildeFerrinho, Paulo2022-09-23T15:30:28Zoai:ojs.anaisihmt.com:article/359Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:04:02.996581Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
