Objectives:
To know the cinema and literature preferences of medical students and practicing doctors
Methods:
Survey among students, medical residents (MR) and specialized physicians (SP) from two hospitals in Mallorca
Results:
217 students (73.3% women), 70 MR/Young SP (71.4% women) and 40 senior SP (47.6% women). More than 90% reported their interest on cinema or reading. Differences were observed by type of movies or books between the groups. The classic formats were mostly selected: movie theater 57.9% vs. 70% vs. 71.4%; paper book 93.9% vs. 93.4% vs. 85.7%. A positive association was observed between age and increased consumption of cinema and literature
Conclusions:
the results of this survey reveal age differences in the consumption of cinema and literature, although this comsumption seems more focused on evasion and entertainment
