Abstract

Batur, A., An Investigation of the Relationship Between the Impostor Phenomenon and Academic Self-Efficacy Levels of Residents Who Maintain Medical Specialty Education at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Hacettepe University Graduate School of Health Sciences Medical Education Program Master's Thesis, Ankara, 2023. The study aimed to investigate the levels of and relationship between Impostor Phenomenon and academic self-efficacy perception of residents working at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine. Of the 261 volunteers who participated in the study, 51% were male. The study group's median academic self-efficacy score (MASS) was 67, and the median Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS) score was 54. No significant relationship was found between the variables such as age, gender, and length of time in the medical profession, and Impostor levels and academic self-efficacy level of the study group. The residents were divided into five groups according to the time they completed in the departments. It was determined that there was a significant correlation between the time completed in the department and the CIPS score (p< 0.001). In post hoc analysis, it was determined that the 0-12 months group was statistically different. A moderate negative correlation was found in the correlation analysis between the time completed in the department and CIPS scores (R= - 432, p<0.001). There was a significant correlation between the time completed in the department and the MASS score (p< 0.001). As a result of the post hoc analysis, it was determined that the MASS scores in the 0-12 months group were significantly lower than the other groups. There was a moderate positive correlation between MASS scores and the time completed in the department (R=0.503 p<0.001). In the multiple linear regression analysis established by accepting the MASS scores as the dependent variable, CIPS scores, the time completed in the department, and the time completed in the medical profession as independent variables, a moderately significant relationship was found (adjusted R2=0.585 p=<0.001). In the regression equation, the standardized B for the CIPS score was -0.668 (p<0.001), while the standardized B for time completed in the department was 0.213 (p<0.001). It was determined that there was a significant decrease in the MASS score as the impostor level increased. This finding indicates that residents who feel frequent Impostor has lower level of belief that s(he) achieve academically in medicine Academic self-efficacy is an important predictor of the performance. This relationship reveals a problem with the long-term success of the individual. The individual who is exposed to impostor feelings in the early period and feels these feelings frequently, his/her well-being and future success can be seriously damaged. The learning effectiveness research productivity will decrease, and patient management success of the individual with low self-efficacy will decrease, Positive reinforcement of personal and indirect experiences, especially at the beginning of post-graduate education, will provide learners gradually learn and achieve and will increase their self-efficacy beliefs and enjoyment of learning. An increase in the perception of self-efficacy will decrease the feeling of Impostor and the training of residents who have all of the physician competencies and can internalize success.
