Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals predominant autonomous motivation alongside low interest in primary healthcare among medical students, highlighting critical workforce retention challenges.

Key Points

  • Autonomous motivation significantly exceeds controlled motivation among students pursuing medical studies, fostering more resilient learning behaviors across their training.
  • Autonomous motivation was higher than controlled motivation (p<0.001), while extrinsic motivation with external regulation was elevated in peers with physician relatives (p=0.018).
  • Cross-sectional assessment via the Academic Motivation Scale supports strategic workforce interventions, aiming to curb high emigration and retain future healthcare providers.
