Membuat keputusan dalam pemilihan kursus adalah penting bagi seorang pelajar. Kesesuaian kerjaya juga haruslah sepadan dengan personaliti pelajar bagi menjamin kepuasan dalam bekerja di samping kejayaan dalam profesion yang diceburi pada masa akan datang. Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk mengenal pasti sebab-sebab pelajar memilih bidang perubatan, personaliti diri mereka, dan keupayaan kendiri (kesesuaian). Kajian ini merupakan kajian rentas yang melibatkan pelajar perubatan Tahun 3 pra-klinikal di Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia. Soal selidik yang digunakan mengandungi tiga bahagian iaitu data demografik, Inventori Minat Kerjaya Sidek dan sebab-sebab mereka memilih kursus perubatan. Inventori Minat Kerjaya Sidek digunakan untuk mengukur personaliti pelajar dan kesesuaian kerjaya. Seramai 80 orang pelajar yang berumur di antara 20-21 tahun telah menyertai kajian ini dan majoritinya adalah perempuan (n=56, 70.0%). Dapatan kajian menunjukkan seramai 45.7% (n=44) responden memilih kursus perubatan disebabkan 'kesungguhan dan minat', manakala 24.7% (n=20) 'pengaruh ibu bapa' dan 19.8% (n=16) 'untuk membantu masyarakat'. Dalam bidang perubatan, dua trait personaliti yang penting adalah personaliti penyiasat dan personaliti sosial. Seramai 47.5% (n=38) responden mempunyai skor tinggi bagi personaliti penyiasat tetapi hanya 13.8% (n=11) responden mempunyai skor tinggi personaliti sosial. Bagi gabungan kedua-dua personaliti hanya 12.5% (n=10) pelajar mempunyai skor yang tinggi. Kesimpulannya, majoriti pelajar memilih bidang perubatan atas sebab altruistik. Walau bagaimanapun, berdasarkan penilaian personaliti yang telah dilakukan,
INTRODUCTION: Adolescents learn through experimenting and interactions with others. Experimenting romance and sexuality issues if not properly guided, can result in an out-of-wedlock unplanned pregnancy. This study aims to explore factors leading to out-of-wedlock pregnancy among pregnant teenagers and factors that may prevent such occurrence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two in-depth interviews (IDI) and two focus group discussions (FGD) were conducted in this qualitative study. The study involved 22 participants from a local governmental body shelter home in Peninsular Malaysia. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was used for data analysis. RESULTS: Three salient relationship themes that led to teenage pregnancy were i) an enjoyable relationship with peers, ii) poor family relationship, and iii) intimate relationship with boyfriends. Some of the proposed ways that may protect teenagers from pregnancy include i) careful selection of friends, ii) controlling the desire in risky experimentation, and iii) wiser use of smartphones or/and social media. CONCLUSION: Relational issues with parents, peers and boyfriends are important factors as it could lead to out-of -wedlock pregnancy among adolescents and youths. It is also necessary for the current educational system to emphasize on building positive relationships with peers, being more assertive, and the safe use of social media among youths.
