Abstract

Based on the phenomenon that medical risks result in lower desire for engaging in medical work. [Purpose] the study explores to what degree medical students hope to become a medial practitioner through investigating and analyzing their reaction to pressure perception and social support in the course of internship. [Method] On the basis of taking pressure perception as an independent variable, six dimensions are measured, including employment situation, interpersonal relationship, knowledge and skills, medical conditions, workload and medical risks. In addition, taking social support as a moderating variable, the study analyzes medical students' desires for engaging in medical work in terms of degree from three dimensions: degree of respect, degree of understanding and degree of satisfaction. [Conclusions]The results show that pressure perception significantly influences the desire for engaging in medical work and that the interaction of pressure perception and social support is marginally significant and has negative effect on work desire.
