Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The aim of this article is to present the prestige of selected medical professions in the opinion of people practicing these professions. MATERIAL AND METHODS:The study was conducted by means of the survey technique. The research tool was an original questionnaire prepared by the authors of the study, which was carried out on a sample of 346 professionally active physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, psychotherapists, and occupational therapists. Those people were employed in public institutions (hospitals, outpatient clinics, rehabilitation centers) located in Kraków and Katowice. The selection of the sample was deliberate. RESULTS:The profession of a physician received the highest score of prestige, while the lowest one was achieved by the profession of an occupational therapist. As factors influencing the prestige of a given profession, physicians and physiotherapists most often indicated social respect for the profession, while nurses, psychotherapists, and occupational therapists emphasized the importance of education. The level of prestige of medical professions, as compared with other professions, decreased with seniority. CONCLUSIONS:The profession of a physician occupies the leading position in the hierarchy of the self-assessed prestige of medical professions. Physicians notice a general tendency to assess the prestige of their profession in a broader context - the position of this profession is weakening in favor of other public utility jobs, despite the fact that physicians still occupy an important place in the rankings of prestige including all professions. A negative self-assessment of the prestige of the occupation performed over the period of ten years prevail only in the case of physicians and nurses. Med Pr. 2019;70(5):587-95. WSTĘP:Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie opinii osób wykonujących zawody medyczne na temat prestiżu tych zawodów. MATERIAŁ I METODY:W badaniu wzięło udział 346 aktywnych zawodowo lekarzy, pielęgniarek, fizjoterapeutów, psychoterapeutów i terapeutów zajęciowych. Narzędziem badawczym był kwestionariusz przygotowany przez autorki badania. Badani byli zatrudnieni w placówkach publicznych (szpitalach, przychodniach, ośrodkach rehabilitacji) w Krakowie i Katowicach. Dobór próby miał charakter celowy. WYNIKI:Zawód lekarza uzyskał najwyższe noty, zawód terapeuty zajęciowego – najniższe. Lekarze i fizjoterapeuci najczęściej wskazywali społeczny szacunek do zawodu jako czynnik wpływający na prestiż wykonywanej przez siebie profesji, a pielęgniarki, psychoterapeuci i terapeuci zajęciowi podkreślali znaczenie wykształcenia. Ocena prestiżu zawodów medycznych w porównaniu z innymi zawodami była tym niższa, im dłuży był staż pracy. WNIOSKI:Zawód lekarza zajmował główną pozycję w hierarchii samooceny prestiżu badanych zawodów medycznych. Lekarze zauważali ogólną tendencję dotyczącą oceny prestiżu ich zawodu w szerszym kontekście – pozycja zawodu słabnie na rzecz innych zawodów użyteczności publicznej, mimo że lekarze nadal zajmują istotne miejsce w rankingach prestiżu. W zakresie samooceny prestiżu wykonywanego zawodu w perspektywie 10-letniej negatywne oceny przeważały tylko wśród lekarzy i pielęgniarek. W przypadku innych profesji oceny były pozytywne. Med. Pr. 2019;70(5):587–595.
