RODRIGUEZ-MARTINEZ, María del Carmen; SANCHEZ-RIVAS, Enrique e LABAJOS-MANZANARES, María Teresa. Ocupational vocation and gender in health sciences students. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.1, pp.345-356. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.1512130102015.
The process of choosing a vocation consists of several elements, such as personality traits, vocational interests, aptitudes and abilities. The aim of this study is to examine the association between vocation and gender in a sample of 156 first-year Health Sciences students in Spain studying Nursing, Physiotherapy, Podiatry and Occupational Therapy degrees at the University of Malaga. The methodology used in the study is quantitative and the scope of this research is descriptive. The instrument used by the researchers was the Oregon Vocational Interest Scales (ORVIS) questionnaire. The results indicated that significant differences were found in certain dimensions after performing the T-Student test: Leadership (F=6.532; p=0.012), Organization (F=3.818; p=0.05) and Adventure (F=4.211; p=0.029). However, the authors conclude that it is necessary to study the influence of other variables.
