“…Bellodi 8 noted that even today, the stereotypes of these doctors are equivalent, despite all the changes over time. To clinicians, formerly physicists, the appreciation of the mind, and to surgeons, the barbers, the risky procedures 8,9 . In another study with a group of Brazilian residents, the same author identified, amongst other variables, personality traits, the clinicians being quieter, detaildriven and more interested in interpersonal contact, while the surgeons are faster, more impulsive and more aggressive 10 .…”

Objective: to evaluate the care for victims of traffic accidents by on call emergency physicians and/or surgeons in the emergency room. Methods: we conducted a retrospective, descriptive and exploratory study on the care for traffic accidents victims in the urban area of Maringá-PR, between July 2013 and July 2014 in reference hospitals. We assessed demographics and vocational training through a questionnaire sent to the attending physicians. Results: of the 688 records evaluated, 99% of patients had a prehospital Revised Trauma Score of 12. Statistical analysis showed that in the cases conducted by the emergency physicians (n=187), the recording of the Glasgow Coma Scale and the performance of surgical procedures were less common, whereas the recording of blood pressure values was performed in greater numbers when compared with cases led by surgeons (n=501). There was a statistically significant relationship (p<0.01) between the length of hospital stay and surgical specialty, with a greater chance (crude OR=28) in the period from one to six hours for the group treated by emergency doctors. Most physicians participating in the study were young, with emergency room time of up to one to two years, and with ATLS training. Among those who had attended the ATLS course, 60% did so in the last four years. Surgeons performed 73% of hospital treatments. Conclusion: in the care of traffic victims with minor injuries, the Glasgow Coma Scale, the blood pressure levels, the type of treatment in the emergency room and hospital stay had different approaches between emergency physicians and surgeons.

“…For the calculation of response rates, the AAPOR guidelines were adopted: questionnaires with >80% items completed were considered complete, and those with 50-80% as partial (AAPOR 2006). Stereotypes and motivations were listed on the basis of informal pilot discussions with medical students and by reviewing other pertinent questionnaires (Bellodi 2004;Calligaro et al 2004;Diehl et al 2006).…”

“…A review of the world literature (e.g., Bellodi, 2004) and vernacular one (e.g., Pawełczyk, Pawełczyk, & Bielecki, 2007) on the subject indicates that empirical results of studies concerning personality predictors of specialties in medical professions refer primarily to medical school graduates focusing on the personality traits of physicians of various clinical specialties. Studies on the Distinct Surgical Personality (DSP) (Cares, 1961) conducted for over half a century provide the best example of this.…”

Background Holland’s theory of congruence, according to which one’s career choice is an expression of personality traits common to a given profession, constitutes a theoretical background for this research. The construct of the Distinct Surgical Personality (DSP) is an exemplification of the idea of a congruent match between one’s personality and the requirements of the medical environment. In previous studies the authors revised their proposition concerning the DSP concept to include not only personality traits but also preferred values. This paper aims at verifying the proposition that this concept may also refer to students of nursing who select surgical specialties. Participants and procedure The study involved 163 students of nursing at the Medical University of Lublin aged 21-29 (M = 23.19, SD = 3.67). Students who opted for surgical specialities constituted the criterion group (N = 98). The study employed the Polish versions of the Personality Inventory NEO-FFI and the Schwartz Value Survey. Results There are two significant predictors of surgical specialties choice in nursing: a higher-level value of openness to change and extraversion. The tested model, which incorporates personality traits and preferred values, has proved congruent with the data, and allows for the proper classification of 79% of students who declared surgical specialties. Conclusions The results suggest the existence of a specific personality of surgical nurses. While clear adaptability to the specific environment has been determined, there are differences with respect to the concept of DSP, referring to doctors, widely discussed in the literature. In both cases these constructs look different, and are dependent on various types of professional activities within the therapeutic team.
