Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Pittsburgh, 1999.

This research examined a service-learning program that gave medical students the opportunity to gain both primary care clinical experience and exposure to a medically underserved population. The purpose of the present study was to investigate changes in psychosocial characteristics such as self-esteem, empathy, intentions to help in the future and motivations for volunteering, as well as changes in attitudes regarding medically underserved populations, prenatal care issues and social commitment.

520 $a This research examined a service-learning program that gave medical students the opportunity to gain both primary care clinical experience and exposure to a medically underserved population. The purpose of the present study was to investigate changes in psychosocial characteristics such as self-esteem, empathy, intentions to help in the future and motivations for volunteering, as well as changes in attitudes regarding medically underserved populations, prenatal care issues and social commitment.
520 $a The sample consisted of 26 first-year medical students who were participants in a program that paired them with pregnant females who were generally low-income, and some of whom were adolescents. The medical students followed the women through their pregnancies by going to the prenatal appointments, offering support and information, and attending the births. Pre-questionnaires were administered to the students before they met with the pregnant women and post-questionnaires were administered shortly after the women gave birth.
520 $a Two-factor, repeated measures ANOVAs (gender X time) were used to analyze the data. Results did not show significant effects for gender, time or their interaction for self-esteem, empathic concern or future helping. However, there was a significant main effect for gender for the intention to serve the medically underserved with male medical students indicating a greater intention to serve than female medical students. In terms of the motivation to volunteer there was a significant two-way interaction between gender and time for the enhancement subscale. Examination of the cell means indicated that while female medical students' enhancement motivation decreased across time, male medical students' enhancement motivation increased. No effects were significant for the social commitment, attitudes toward practice in medically underserved areas, and attitudes toward issues in prenatal care measures.
520 $a Since many medical schools are still in the initial stages of integrating service-learning programs into their curricula, it may be too early to draw conclusions about the effects of such programs on medical students. Although medical students did not change significantly over the course of the service-learning experience, they were not negatively affected in terms of their psychosocial characteristics or attitudes by participating in service-learning.
