Abstract:
Objective To study the status of professional commitment and its effect on self-esteem of non-medical undergraduates in medical colleges. Methods Totally 410 non-medical under-graduates and 403 medical undergraduate were investigated by professional commitment of undergrad-uate scales and self-esteem questionnaire of undergraduates. T test,chi-square test,ANOVA,corre-lation analysis and multiple regression analysis were employed to do statical analysis,with P<0.05 be-ing statistical differences. Results Non-medical undergraduates’scores of professional commitment (85.11 ±11.60)and self-esteem (2.57 ±0.37)were lower than those (93.82 ±11.43)and (2.62 ± 0.35) of medical undergraduates. There were statistical differences in non-medical undergraduates’ professional commitment concerning the variables of professional consistency (t=5.657,P=0.000)and grades (F=8.528,P=0.000). Professional commitment of non-medical undergraduates was positively correlated with self-esteem. There was linear regression relationship between the variables of emotion-al commitment (P=0.005),normative commitment (P=0.006)and self-esteem. Conclusions Non-medical undergraduates' professional commitment and self-esteem levels are lower than those of medical undergraduates. The professional commitment could produce obvious effects on self-esteem.
