„Die Psychiatrie nimmt sich Zeit …“ Warum Psychiater*in werden? – Eine qualitative Studie

Zusammenfassung

Ziel Identifikation von intrinsischen Motivatoren, die bei der Berufswahl Psychiatrie eine Rolle spielen.

Methodik 14 leitfadengestützte Tiefeninterviews wurden mithilfe von Codierungsrahmen systematisch ausgewertet.

Ergebnisse Positive Aspekte waren der zwischenmenschliche Fokus und der ganzheitliche Ansatz. Negative Dimensionen waren das schlechte Image unter Kolleg*innen, Vorurteile und Stigma. Die Entstigmatisierung der Psychiatrie und die Gleichstellung psychiatrischer mit somatischen Aspekten in Fallberichten wurden als Möglichkeiten vorgeschlagen, das Interesse am Fach Psychiatrie zu erhöhen.

Schlussfolgerung Um die Beliebtheit der Psychiatrie bei Mediziner*innen zu steigern, bedarf es Maßnahmen zur Bekämpfung von mit Psychiatrie verbundenem Stigma im Gesundheitswesen. Im Rahmen der medizinischen Lehre müssen psychiatrische Störungen, welche durch ihre hohe Prävalenz alle medizinischen Disziplinen betreffen, entsprechende Gewichtung erhalten.

Abstract

Objective Identification of intrinsic motivators involved in choosing psychiatry as a career path.

Methods 14 qualitative in-depth interviews were analysed systematically using coding frames.

Results Positive findings were the interpersonal focus and the holistic approach of psychiatry. Negative dimensions were the unfavorable image among colleagues, the lack of precision, prejudices and stigmatization. To interest more medical students, cases should be presented weighing psychiatric aspects as equally important to other medical aspects.

Conclusions To increase the popularity of psychiatry, the prejudices inherent in the medical system need urgent addressing. Teaching should be conducted in case presentations. Psychiatric conditions, which are highly prevalent across all medical fields, need to be adequately represented.
