Catedra Economie, Management şi Psihopedagogie în Medicină USMF „Nicolae Testemiţanu”In the process of students’ values researching, we have determined that graduate students from SUMPh consider the well-being the most important value for their prosperity. Thus, the interviewed students have selected values in the following priority: physical and mental health, physical well being, and lasting knowledge. The least popular values for them are: creative activity, happiness of others, contemplating the beauty in nature and art. The 200 interviewed students did not consider relationship with people around, as a factor that can directly influence their professional and personal achievement. On the top of instrumental values students have placed: professional education, responsibility, and rationalism. At the same time, students didn’t consider very important values that reflect the human aspect of the profession, such as tolerance, compassion and caring attitude towards others. Cercetînd sfera valorilor studenților absolvenți, am stabilit că studenții absolvenți de la USMF, apreciază în prim plan bunăstarea sa din toate punctele de vedere. Astfel, studenții au plasat în top următoarele dintre valori: sănătate fizică și psihică; bunăstare materială; și cunoștințe trainice. Cele mai puțin apreciate valori – scopuri de către studenți s-au stabilit a fi următoarele: activitate creatoare; fericirea altora; contemplarea frumosului în natură și artă. Cei 200 de studenți intervievați nu consideră relaționarea cu oamenii din jur, drept factor ce poate influența direct realizarea lor profesională și personală. In topul valorilor-instrumentale studenții au plasat: educație profesională; responsabilitate; și raționalism. Valorile care reflectă aspectul uman al profesiei, precum: toleranță, compasiune sau delicatețe și atitudine grijulie față de alții, studenții nu le consideră importante pentru o carieră de succes în medicină

Factors Associated with Burnout in Medical Academia: An Exploratory Analysis of Romanian and Moldavian Physicians

This study aimed to assess the extent of burnout in Romanian and Moldavian academic physicians and to determine the predictive value of emotional intelligence (EI), coping strategies, work motivation (WM), perceived organizational support (POS), and the socio-demographic characteristics of burnout. Two hundred physicians (40% men, 60% women, mean age = 43.02, SD = 9.91) participated in the study. They were administered the Maslach Burnout Inventory−General Survey, Brief COPE Scale, Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale, Schutte’s Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test, and Perceived Organizational Support Scale. Mann−Whitney U tests were used to assess the significance of intercountry differences, while hierarchical regressions were performed to investigate the predictive value of the independent variables on burnout. Moldavian participants had significantly lower scores in burnout and amotivation (p < 0.001) and higher scores in EI, POS, and WM (p < 0.001). The main burnout predictors were amotivation (β = 0.388, p < 0.001) and low POS (β = −0.313, p< 0.001) in Moldavian respondents, and WM (intrinsic: β = −0.620, p < 0.001; extrinsic: β = 0.406, p < 0.001) in Romanian participants. Moldavian respondents displayed better adjustment to academic stress. The distribution of burnout predictors suggests better sensitivity of respondents to organizational interventions in Moldova and to individual therapy in Romania. This data could serve to better tailor Public Health interventions addressing burnout in the academic environment
