Abstract

Uvod: Fenomen varalice relativno je mladi konstrukt, prvi puta opisan 70-ih godina prošloga stoljeća, obilježen prvenstveno niskim samopouzdanjem i strahom od neuspjeha. Dokazano je da su ti osjećaji učestali među visoko obrazovanim pojedincima, uključujući i studente medicine, djelujući negativno na njihovo psihičko zdravlje.

Ispitanici i metode: Ovo metodološki presječno istraživanje provedeno je na studentima VI. godine Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Instrument istraživanja bio je anonimni upitnik koji je sadržavao socio-demografska obilježja studenata i CIPS (engl. Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale). CIPS je prethodno validiran upitnik koji je pokazao dobre psihometrijske sposobnosti u identifikaciji pojedinaca s osjećajima fenomena varalice.

Rezultati: Prosječna ocjena na CIPS ljestvici je iznosila 62 ± 17,22. Osjećaje fenomena varalice intenzivno je proživljavalo 40,5 % studenata i 53,1 % studentica. Fenomen je više prevalentan među pojedincima kojima je prethodno ili za vrijeme fakulteta dijagnosticirana psihička bolest. Također, studentice s izraženim osjećajima fenomenom imaju značajno lošiji uspjeh na fakultetu u usporedbi sa studenticama koje nemaju izražene osjećaje fenomena varalice.

Zaključak: Fenomen varalice je visoko prevalentan među studentima završne godine medicinskog fakulteta i negativno utječe na akademski uspjeh. Istraživanjima na temu fenomena varalice potrebno je precizno utvrditi njegovu prevalenciju, kao i specifične etiološke odrednice koje dovode do njegova razvoja, odnosno specifične posljedice koje su rezultat razvoja ovih osjećaja.

Abstract (english)

Introduction: Impostor phenomenon is a relatively new construct, first described in the 70s, predominantly marked by low self-confidence and fear of failure. It has been shown that these feelings are often experienced among highly educated individuals, including medical students, affecting negatively on their mental health.

Participants and methodes: This cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of one entire generation of final year medical students at School of medicine in Zagreb. The instrument used for this research was a qustionnaire comprised of, among else, demographic data and the CIPS (Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale). CIPS is a formerly validated survey with good psychometric properties for measuring the intensity of impostor feeling.

Results: The average CIPS score in this sample was 62 ± 17,22. 40,5 % of female and 53,1 % of male students identified as impostors. The phenomenon is more pronounced among students who where prior to or during medical school diagnosed with a mental disorder. Female medical students affected by impostor feelings had a significantly lower grade point average compared to their colleagues not affected by these feelings.

Conclusion: Impostor phenomenon is highly prevalent among finaly year medical students in Zagreb and affects negatively on their academic performance. Subsequent research is needed to better understand the prevalence of these feelings, specific factors contributing to developement of these feelings along with specific cosequences that are the result of developing these feelings.
