Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Tem-se observado certa tendência à perda pelo interesse acadêmico nas diversas áreas da Medicina, inclusive Anestesiologia. O objetivo deste estudo foi pesquisar o interesse de médicos em especialização (ME) em Anestesiologia em seguir uma carreira acadêmica, bem como identificar os fatores determinantes dessa escolha. MÉTODO: O estudo foi prospectivo e transversal. Selecionou-se uma amostra probabilística simples de médicos em especialização em Anestesiologia. Um questionário foi enviado a cada participante. As respostas foram submetidas a análises uni e multivariadas para determinar a frequência de predisposição acadêmica na amostra e determinação dos fatores preditivos independentes de predisposição acadêmica. RESULTADOS: Foram analisados 155 questionários (taxa de resposta = 38,7%). Sessenta e nove participantes (44,5%) manifestaram interesse em seguir uma carreira acadêmica. A análise multivariada identificou como fatores independentes de previsão da predisposição acadêmica: estar cursando o primeiro ano do curso de especialização (razão de chances [RC] = 2,52; intervalo de 95% de confiança [IC 95%] = 1,19 - 5,38), ter apresentado trabalho científico em evento médico (RC = 3,78; IC 95% = 1,84 - 7,78) e pertencer à região sudeste (RC = 2,66; IC 95% = 1,31 - 5,39). CONCLUSÕES: Uma parcela significativa dos ME brasileiros demonstrou interesse em seguir carreira acadêmica após o término do curso de especialização. Em comparação com a probabilidade de não manifestar predisposição acadêmica, os médicos do primeiro ano do curso de especialização apresentam chances 2,5 vezes maiores de se manifestarem interessados em uma carreira acadêmica; apresentação de trabalho científico em eventos médicos aumentou essa chance em 3,78 vezes; pertencer a CETs da região sudeste aumentou em 2,66 vezes a chance manifestar interesse acadêmico.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: A trend toward the lack of interest in academic careers has been observed in Medicine, including in the area of Anesthesiology. The objective of the present study was to research the interest of physicians specializing in Anesthesiology in following an academic career, as well as identify the determinant factors of this choice. METHOD: The present was a prospective and cross-sectional study. A simple probabilistic sample of physicians specializing in Anesthesiology was selected and a questionnaire was sent to each participant. The answers were submitted to uni and multivariate analyses to determine the frequency of academic predisposition in the sample and to determine the independent predictive factors of academic predisposition. RESULTS: A total of 155 questionnaires were analyzed (rate of response = 38.7%). Sixty-nine participants (44.5%) manifested their interest in following an academic career. The multivariate analysis identified the following as independent predictive factors of academic predisposition: attending the first year of specialization (OR = 2.52; 95% CI = 1.19 - 5.38); presenting a scientific work at medical event (OR = 3.78; 95% CI = 1.84 - 7.78) and being located in the southeast region (OR = 2.66; 95% CI = 1.31 - 5.39). CONCLUSIONS: A significant number of Brazilian physicians attending a specialization course demonstrated interest in following an academic career after the end of the course. In comparison with the probability of not manifesting academic predisposition, the physicians attending the firstyear specialization course presented a 2.5-fold higher chance of manifesting interest in an academic career; those presenting a scientific work at a medical event had a 3.78-fold higher chance; those associated to Teaching Centers in the southeast region had a 2.66-fold higher chance of manifesting academic interest.
