A socialização profissional tem início durante a faculdade e se estende para o ambiente de trabalho dos indivíduos. Quando este processo ocorre corretamente, vários benefícios surgem, no entanto, quando ele não ocorre, sérias conseqüências negativas podem surgir, como a alta rotatividade dos funcionários e os pedidos de transferência. Shinyashiki et al. (2006) afirmam que muitos são os fatores que podem influenciar a socialização profissional dos indivíduos, e destacam a grande importância da escolha vocacional para este processo. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar, quantitativamente, a influência da escolha vocacional no processo de socialização profissional de estudantes de enfermagem por meio dos testes de hipóteses e da criação da árvore de decisão, utilizando o algorítimo CHAID. A relação foi analisada também pela introdução dos seguintes fatores de teste: gênero, idade cronológica, status socioeconômico, tamanho da cidade em que passou a infância, religião, escolaridade dos pais, tipo da faculdade, idade da escolha pela carreira de enfermagem, ano em que o aluno estava cursando, se o aluno já trabalhou em função ou atividade relacionada à enfermagem e se a organização era da área da saúde, e se já realizou estágio em hospital. Os resultados indicaram que uma escolha vocacional consistente tende a melhorar o processo de socialização profissional dos alunos de enfermagem, e que outros fatores, como o tipo de faculdade, o ano cursado, a realização de trabalho na área e a idade em que foi feita a escolha pela a carreira, são ótimos preditores da socialização profissional. / The professional socialization begins at the university and extends to the work environment. When this happens, there is great benefit. Otherwise, there will be negative consequences such as high rotation of employees and transfer requests. According to Shinyashiki et al. (2006) there are many reasons which can influence people\'s professional socialization process specially the vocational choice. Thus, the aim of this research is to analyze quantitatively the influence of vocational choice in the professional socialization process with nursing students through hypothesis tests and the creation of the answer tree using the CHAID algorithm. The relation was also analyzed by the introduction of the following factors in the test: gender, chronological age, social economical status, the size of the city in their childhood, religion, parents education, type of College, age of the choice for the nursing career, school year, if the student has ever worked or has had any activity related to nursing, and if the organization was from the health area, and also if he has worked as a trainee in a hospital. The results showed that a consistent vocational choice tends to enhance the nursing students\' professional socialization process and also that other factors like: type of school, school year, working experience in the area and the age of the choice for the career were good predictors for professional socialization.

Recém contratados em uma organização participam de um processo de socialização organizacional, em que aprendem as características do ambiente em que estão inseridos, e modelam seus comportamentos e atitudes assumindo um papel na organização. Trainees são jovens recém formados que se submetem a um rigoroso processo seletivo e, uma vez contratados, participam de um programa de desenvolvimento profissional que poderá conduzir a uma carreira para postos estratégicos na organização. Na fase denominada socialização antecipatória há a criação de expectativas por parte do ingressante anteriormente à entrada na organização, a não confirmação das mesmas conduz a um processo denominado choque de realidade. A seleção realística é uma forma de processo seletivo que diminui as chances de não confirmação de expectativas, apresentando ao candidato a organização como ela realmente é. O processo de socialização tem por objetivo diminuir o stress inicial, ambientar o novato e reduzir a possibilidade de abandono da organização. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar a ocorrência ou não do choque de realidade de alunos egressos da Faculdade de Economia, Administração e Contabilidade de Ribeirão Preto, formandos no ano de 2009, selecionados e contratados em programas trainees, sua satisfação e desejo de permanência na organização. Para conduzir o estudo foram aplicados dois questionários, um anteriormente à entrada na organização e outro posteriormente ao ingresso na organização, identificando o realismo do processo seletivo, as expectativas não confirmadas e confirmadas e as práticas de ambientação da organização, verificando a existência ou não do choque de realidade dos alunos e a satisfação com a empresa. / Newcomers hired share a process called organizational socialization, where they learn the environment caractheristics and model behavior, assuming an role at organization. Trainees are youngs graduate submitted a rigorous selections process to entry an organization and when hired are developed in a career program for in the future assume strategics roles. Na. Expectations are created by newcomers before entry organization, in the anticipatory socialization stage, and the unmet expectations leads to reality shock. Realistic job preview is a selections process to reduce chances of not confirming expectations of newcomers, presenting them organization how it really looks. Socialization processs objective is to reduce initial stress and incorporate newcomer at organization environment, reducing the chances of leaving it. The purpose of this study is to analyse the existence or not of a reality schok of graduated from Faculdade de Economia, Administração e Contabilidade de Ribeirão Preto Faculdade de Economia, year 2009, Administração e Contabilidade de Ribeirão Preto, hired at fast track programs. Two questionnaires were developed, one prior entry organization, the other before entry, identifying the reality of selections process, met or unmet expectations and organizations pratices on environmenting newcomer, verifying existence or not of a reality schok.

This study investigates socialization and ideal expectations for the health professional role in the provision of quality terminal care. Guiding the research are role theory, socialization theory, and Talcott Parsons' (1951) pattern variables. The research was conducted in three phases. The first phase involved development of an analytical framework elaborating upon Parsons' five pattern variables, which were first conceptualized as dimensions describing the ways in which roles could vary. Specific indicators for each of the pattern variables were developed. Typologies characterizing (1) the medical, or conventional, model and (2) the holistic model (specifically, the hospice model) for the provision of health care based on these indicators then were developed. Using the analytical framework, the second and third phases consisted of: (1) a content analysis of the physician and nurse socialization literature to determine the role prescriptions learned by these health professionals; and (2) a content analysis of open-ended interviews with a group (N = 94) of terminally ill elderly patients (n = 17), family members (n = 38), and health professionals (n = 39) from 10 urban health care programs (five conventional and five hospice) to identify ideal role expectations for the health professional. Major findings were that: (1) Parsons' pattern variables, with elaboration, can provide a useful framework for role analysis; (2) physicians and nurses appear to be socialized to a number of role prescriptions consistent with the medical model, although there is evidence of conflicting socialization (to both models) for some role prescriptions; (3) respondents' expectations generally were consistent with those prescribed by the hospice model with some notable exceptions; (4) the role expectations of the three groups of respondents were more congruent than was expected, although subgroups' (conventional versus hospice) expectations tended to differ. Implications of the findings for: (1) role analysis; (2) socialization of health professionals to minimize role strain and conflict with patients and families; (3) continued implementation of conventional and hospice models for the provision of quality terminal care; (4) assessment of the quality of terminal care are explored; and (5) further research are explored.

No / Objective. To explore the lived experiences of pharmacy students undertaking an early pre-registration training placement in the United Kingdom, particularly with respect to the development of different aspects of their professionalism. Methods. Fourteen students returning from an early pre-registration placement (during the third year of their pharmacy degree) were interviewed, using a semi-structured approach. Grounded theory methods were used to analyze the transcripts and a theory was developed. Results. ʻDeveloping a professional identityʼ was the core process that occurred during the placement. This included four stages: (1) Reflection (2) Selection of attributes (3) Professional socialization and (4) Perception of role. As a consequence of ʻDeveloping a professional identityʼ, participants had a strong vision of the kind of pharmacist they wanted to be when qualified. They articulated an increased responsibility as students, and began to see themselves as ʻNow a trainee professionalʼ. Conclusion. This study strongly supports the use of an early pre-registration period to develop pharmacy students’ sense of professional identity and strengthen their motivation to learn.

The primary purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between educational and curricular factors and physician location decisions. As a background to the study, a literature search traced the history of medical education in the U.S., focusing on various influences on physician distribution. In the research on physician location decision, this study is unique in its use of the constant comparative method. This method is an inductive approach developed and refined by Glaser and Strauss, used in this study to generate theory regarding the role of educational factors in physician location decisions. In this research, two groups of physicians who completed training after 1965 were selected for study, based on their locations in distinctly different practice settings in Arizona: urban and rural. An open-ended interview format was developed, and each physician was interviewed, with data analysis beginning during the first interview and continuing through the entire period of data collection. Using the constant comparative method, similar groups (rural physicians) were compared to bring out basic properties of categories, and different groups (urban physicians) were then compared to establish boundaries of applicability of the theory. As the interviews proceeded a basic theoretical framework emerged, enabling development of a grounded theory of physician location decisions. The study presents strong empirical evidence in support of the proposition that educational factors are influential in the decision of a physician to enter practice in a rural area. Four primary influences were identified: faculty role modeling, participation in rural clerkships, preceptorships, or required family practice rotations, service activities related to health care for medically underserved populations, and education in a non-traditional setting, or residency training in a rural area. Curriculum content and requirements take on major significance when these influences are subsumed under the major influence of socialization. The extent to which these educational factors play a role in the practice locations of physicians varies according to educational opportunities available during the training period.

Traditionally, nurse anesthesia educators have utilized prior academic achievement to predict student success. However, research has indicated that prior academic achievement offers an inadequate assessment of student success in graduate healthcare programs with extensive clinical residencies. The educational literature has identified many non-cognitive factors, such as self-efficacy and locus of control, that may provide a more holistic prediction model of student success. An experimental study with pretest-posttest design and stratified random assignment was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention to promote self-management, professional socialization, and academic achievement among first semester graduate nurse anesthesia students. Participants (N = 66) were demographically similar to the national graduate nurse anesthesia student body, though Hispanics and younger students were a little over-represented in the sample (56% female, 75.8% White, 15.2% Hispanic, 6% Other, 59% ≤ 30-years-old, 67% ≤ 3 years of ICU). The results showed that most graduate anesthesia students had strong self-management and professional socialization characteristics on admission. The results did not support the effectiveness of this educational intervention. Thus, ceiling effect may have accounted in part for statistically non-significant results regarding self-efficacy (p = .190, ω2 = .03), locus of control (p = .137, ω2 = .04), professional socialization (p = .819, ω2 = .001), and academic achievement (p = .689, ω2 = .003). Future researchers may need to expand the scope of the intervention, use a more powerful and sensitive instrument, and utilize a larger sample.

The purpose of the study was to investigate independent piano teachers' view of themselves in the light of selected attributes found in sociological writings on the professions. The research problems were: (a) to determine the attitudes which independent piano teachers held toward selected professional attributes; (b) to determine the relationship between the attitudes toward the professional attributes and selected background variables; and (c) to determine the degree of association between these attributes. The problems were addressed by a questionnaire directed to independent piano teachers active in the area of Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas. Thirty teachers were also interviewed to determine consistency of response and to explore issues which the questionnaire had raised. Reliability and validity were established at acceptable levels. Techniques of statistical analysis included Pearson's product-moment correlation, multiple regression, chi-square in conjunction with Cramer's V_, and factor analysis. The strongest attitudes expressed by the teachers in the study concerned professional self-image, altruism, client orientation, commitment to work, and independence. The most important background variables were age, years of experience, number of students, certification by a professional association, and college degree in music. A multiple regression analysis tested each variable against the dependent variable professional self-image; recognition by others, commitment to work, client orientation, and qualification were found to account for 25% of the common variance. A factor analysis was also conducted to seek out patterns of attitudes among the attributes being studied; seven factors were identified among the subjects' belief systems as Professional Actions, Satisfaction, Quality Control, Professionalism, Compliance, Autonomy, and Focus on Student. These factors accounted for almost half of the total variance in the data. The study concluded that: (a) independent piano teaching was a female-dominated, subsidized occupation, and (b) the piano teachers' professional self-image seemed to be an evaluation of themselves and their work, rather than the use of profession as a definable goal for which to strive.

Based on four articles, this compilation thesis analyses the demonstrated com-petence defining a medical doctor, to the extent to which he or she acquires a high status and high level of employability in professional practice. Overall, the thesis aimed to describe and analyse professional socialization during doctors' transition from education to work. Questions addressed included how higher education should be understood as preparation for professional practice, how ideals of the future professional were conceived and how these ideals differenti-ated 'good' from 'bad' doctors in professional development and recruitment. The research employed a version of practice theory as its theoretical framework, developed with the aid of work by Pierre Bourdieu, Judith Butler, John Dewey and Theodore Schatzki. Throughout the individual studies, ideals were con-structed and understood as moral imperatives, stating how doctors are expected to perform in professional practice. Article I explored the ideals of academia and higher education practices in a general sense. In this study, the ideals involve the perceived function of higher education in relation to work. Three different and conflicting perspectives were constructed with the aid of a literature study. Arti-cle II was a survey investigation of how two cohorts (n=169) of recent graduates from a Swedish medical programme viewed their competence and the prepara-tion they received for work through the medical programme. The results show that graduates might be overly prepared from a knowledge perspective, while lacking in practical skills and preparation for difficult situations in the work-place. Article III investigated the ideals of the medical programme using an interview study with eight medical students and eight medical teachers. The ideals constructed show how conflicting ideals, such as strength and humility, shape conceptions of the future professional. Finally, Article IV reports an inter-view study with recruiters of medical interns in Sweden's 21 most popular hospi-tals. Results showed that the most attractive candidates balanced two traits: orientation towards performance and orientation towards human relations. They also successfully demonstrated possession of these qualities in their appli-cation and subsequent interview. Overall, the results from the studies indicated that there are great differences between views of proper preparation for work and views of the highly-employable doctor. While medical knowledge and skills were seen as important in preparation for work, they were absent in the views of the highly-competent and employable doctor. Instead, generic attributes, such as drive, curiosity, cooperativeness, warmth, maturity and reflectiveness, char-acterised descriptions of the most accomplished medical professionals. These attributes also were seen primarily as developed before or 'beside' the formal medical education programme.
