Diferencias de género en la percepción del logro profesional en especialistas de medicina familiar y comunitaria. Rev. Esp. Salud Publica. 2013; 87(3):221-381135-5727http://hdl.handle.net/10668/1537English Abstract; Journal Article;Fundamentos: El concepto de logro es clave para estudiar el desarrollo profesional. En medicina existen desigualdades de género en la carrera profesional. El objetivo fue conocer y comparar la percepción de resultados y atribuciones de logro en médicas y médicos de familia de Andalucía. Método: Estudio cualitativo con 12 grupos de discusión. Población: médicas y médicos de familia que trabajan en atención primaria. Muestra: intencional segmentada por edad, sexo y ocupación de la dirección del centro de salud. Realizamos por sexo: dos grupos de jóvenes, dos grupos de mayores y dos de directores/as; total 32 médicas y 33 médicos. Análisis de contenido. Resultados: Médicas y médicos perciben de igual modo los logros internos y coinciden en considerar como logros externos aspectos inherentes a la profesión. La diferencia más importante es que las médicas relacionan el logro con los vínculos afectivos y los médicos con méritos institucionales. Para las médicas las atribuciones internas son más importantes y destacan la importancia de la familia, la organización de la jornada laboral y el balance familia-trabajo. Para los médicos las atribuciones más importantes son sus pacientes, la formación continuada, los recursos disponibles y el sistema informático. Conclusiones: Existen similitudes y diferencias entre médicas y médicos en la percepción de logro. Las diferencias se explican por el sistema de género. La percepción de logro de las médicas cuestiona la cultura profesional e incorpora nuevos valores. Las atribuciones reflejan el impacto desigual de variables familiares y organizacionales y apunta a que las médicas estarían modificando rasgos de la socialización de géneroBACKGROUND The concept of achievement is important to study the professional development. In medicine there are gender inequalities in career. The purpose was to know and compare the professional achievement's perceptions and attributions of female and male primary care physicians in Andalusia. METHOD Qualitative study with 12 focus groups (October 2009 to November 2010). POPULATION primary care physicians. SAMPLE intentionally segmented by age, sex and health care management. Were conducted by sex: two groups with young physicians, two groups with middle aged and two with health care management. TOTAL: 32 female physician and 33 male physicians. Qualitative content analysis with Nuddist Vivo. RESULTS Female and male physicians agree to perceive internal achievements and to consider aspects inherent to the profession as external achievements. The most important difference is that female physician related professional achievement with affective bond and male physician with institutional merit. Internal attributions are more important for female physician who also highlight the importance of family, the organization of working time and work-family balance. Patients, continuing education, institutional resources and computer system are the most important attributions for male physician. CONCLUSIONS There are similarities and differences between female and male physicians both in the understanding and the attributions of achievement. The differences are explained by the gender system. The perception of achievement of the female physicians questions the dominant professional culture and incorporates new values in defining achievement. The attributions reflect the unequal impact of family and organizational variables and suggest that the female physicians would be changing gender socialization.spaSexismGenderCareerAchievementPhysicians,primary careSexismoGéneroCarreraÉxitoMédicos de atención primariaMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Behavior and Behavior Mechanisms::Motivation::AchievementMedical Subject Headings::Named Groups::Persons::Age Groups::AdultMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Health Care Quality, Access, and Evaluation::Quality of Health Care::Epidemiologic Factors::Age FactorsMedical Subject Headings::Disciplines and Occupations::Health Occupations::Medicine::General Practice::Family PracticeMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::FemaleMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Investigative Techniques::Epidemiologic Methods::Data Collection::Interviews as Topic::Focus GroupsMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Behavior and Behavior Mechanisms::Psychology, Social::Interpersonal RelationsMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Psychological Phenomena and Processes::Psychology, Applied::Psychology, Industrial::Job SatisfactionMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::MaleMedical Subject Headings::Named Groups::Persons::Age Groups::Adult::Middle AgedMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Psychological Phenomena and Processes::Mental Processes::PerceptionMedical Subject Headings::Disciplines and Occupations::Education::Educational Measurement::Professional CompetenceMedical Subject Headings::Disciplines and Occupations::Natural Science Disciplines::Science::Research::Empirical Research::Qualitative ResearchMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Health Care Quality, Access, and Evaluation::Quality of Health Care::Epidemiologic Factors::Sex FactorsMedical Subject Headings::Geographicals::Geographic Locations::Europe::Spainresearch article23892674open access10.4321/S1135-572720130003000022173-9110
