PEDAGOGICAL AND CLINICAL RAMIFICATIONS OF A LONGITUDINAL STUDY ON THE EVOLUTION OF PERSONAL HEALTH CARE PERSPECTIVES AMONG MEDICAL STUDENTS.

Abstract

For the purpose of a qualitative study, researchers conducted a survey with 49 medical students in their fourth year from two different universities. Using formative assessment statements was the primary method that was utilised for the purpose of acquiring information. For the purpose of conducting an investigation into the data, the researcher utilised the qualitative content analysis methodology. A total of three primary factors were identified as the root reasons of the GP’s problems. They are referred to as “prerequisites,” “patients’ concerns,” and “mastery and professional judgement,” respectively, and they are representative of the distinctive characteristics of primary care, the manifestation of patients’ symptoms, and the perspectives of general practitioners on actual encounters. The following characteristics were highlighted by the students as being crucial in a general practitioner: the capacity to treat a wide range of problems, strong communication skills, and a counselling approach that is straightforward and straightforward. They gathered information from a variety of patients and linked it to the fragmented character of this area of medicine. They took a wide range of perspectives towards their patients. It is essential for students to go through this stage of their education because it is during this time that they are forming their thoughts on general practise. It is becoming more and more apparent that medical students face common and complicated mental and physical health care difficulties. It is not uncommon for training-related stresses to be the root cause of emotional distress, mental disease symptoms, and unhealthy substance use. From what The Researcher can tell, almost all medical students also note issues with their physical health. The stigmatisation of some diseases and the fact that medical students play the dual role of student and patient make patient care for medical students a challenging and multifaceted issue.
