- Destacar la necesidad de intervenciones y apoyo institucional.
Principales métodos:
- Revisión narrativa de la literatura publicada entre 2000 y 2025.
- Síntesis de estudios sobre el síndrome del impostor en odontología y profesiones de la salud.
- Enfoque en la prevalencia, los factores psicológicos, los contribuyentes educativos y los resultados.
Principales resultados:
- El síndrome del impostor es común en estudiantes de odontología y aprendices de atención médica.
- Se encontraron fuertes asociaciones con el perfeccionismo, el miedo al fracaso, la baja autoestima y el estrés.
- Los factores educativos como los entornos competitivos y las evaluaciones de alto riesgo exacerban las experiencias de impostor.
Conclusiones:
- El síndrome del impostor impacta significativamente la confianza, el compromiso y el bienestar de los estudiantes de odontología.

A grade of B in a mathematics exam might elicit pride if one's expectation was a C, yet result in disappointment if an A was anticipated or if peers achieved superior results. These comparative evaluations illustrate how both...

Self-discrepancy theory explains how people compare their actual self to their ideal and ought selves and how mismatches between these self-guides can lead to emotional distress. Developed by E. Tory Higgins, the theory distinguishes among three components of self-concept: the actual self, the ideal self, and the ought self. These refer respectively to how individuals perceive themselves, how they aspire to be, and how they believe they are obligated to be. Emotional well-being, self-esteem,...
