Introduction: Human resource development for the effective delivery and management of healthcare services is of paramount importance. In this regard, obtaining accurate information about the current educational environment and students’ perceptions is essential.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the level of satisfaction among Anesthesia and Operating Room students at Shahroud University of Medical Sciences regarding their field of study and to investigate their perspectives on their academic discipline and future career prospects.
Material and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2023 using a census sampling method among 114 Anesthesia and Operating Room students at Shahroud University of Medical Sciences. Data were collected using a demographic information questionnaire and the questionnaire developed by Hadavi et al. After data collection, the information was entered into SPSS version 18 and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Statistical significance was considered at P<0.001.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 21.73±2.74 years. Significant associations were found between students’ satisfaction with their field of study and future career and gender (P<0.001), marital status (P<0.001), and history of academic withdrawal (P<0.001). The mean score for satisfaction with the field of study was 25.91±4.47, the mean score for factors influencing satisfaction with the field of study was 30.73±4.67, the mean score for attitudes toward future career prospects was 13.42±2.62, and the overall mean score for satisfaction with the field of study and attitudes toward future career prospects was 70.07±9.86.
Conclusion: Anesthesia and Operating Room students demonstrated a relatively favorable level of satisfaction with their field of study and generally positive attitudes toward their future careers. Nevertheless, improving educational facilities and resources, enhancing students’ awareness of these disciplines prior to enrollment, and creating conditions that increase employment opportunities may further improve satisfaction levels and motivation to continue education in these fields. |
