Satisfacción personal y percepción de éxito en mujeres en Traumatología: Factores determinantes en la elección de la especialidad y desarrollo profesional
Article in several languages: español | English
Resumen
Históricamente, las médicas han sido asociadas a especialidades determinadas. En los últimos años, estos estereotipos han sido lentamente revertidos con mayor participación de la mujer en especialidades quirúrgicas. En el proceso de aprendizaje se sabe la importancia que tienen los modelos y mentores. Buscamos evaluar el grado de satisfacción y el éxito profesional de las mujeres en Traumatología, y qué factores cumplieron un rol positivo en la decisión de optar por ella.
Se encuestó a 108 mujeres dedicadas a la Traumatología, y se evaluaron las influencias positivas y los mentores como modelo en la toma de decisión por la especialidad y los grados de satisfacción personal y profesional.
Pese a una mayor percepción de dificultades en lograr el objetivo, destacan los altos grados de satisfacción profesional y personal de las mujeres en Traumatología: 95% refirió haber elegido la especialidad correcta, 100% afirmó que las dificultades se compensan con los resultados obtenidos, y 96% volvería a elegir la misma especialidad. En relación con la percepción de éxito, 73% se considera exitosa en su vida profesional, y en la vida personal, 85%.
Muy relevante en la toma de decisión por la especialidad es el rol que cumplen docentes, mentores, y el gusto por la cirugía y los deportes. Un 84% recibió alguna influencia positiva, 61% tuvo como modelo en su formación una traumatóloga, y un 98% recomendaría a otras mujeres en período de formación que se dedicaran a la Traumatología.
Las estrategias de incremento de la participación femenina en la especialidad pudiesen orientarse a fomentar modelos femeninos durante el aprendizaje.
