dc.description.abstractThis thesis is based on three papers and examines predictors and factors associated with perceived mastery of clinical work among doctors. Important findings are that perceived recording skills at medical school predicted high perceived mastery of clinical work later in the doctors’ careers, while taking up leading positions were associated with increased perceived mastery. The risky avoidant behavior of using alcohol to cope with stress during medical school and vulnerable personality traits, on the other hand, predicted low perceived mastery. In addition, physicians with high levels of vulnerable personality traits counselled less often about physical activity. However, when they themselves were physically active, they counselled more often on exercise. Vulnerability personality traits consists of items such as fear of being criticized. The findings indicate the importance of giving support to students and young doctors about handling stressful situations, such as meeting critics. Interventions that promote learning of new skills, challenging oneself in new demanding situations could help them to develop better coping strategies and higher perceived mastery in stressful situations.en_US
