Abstract

Background: The quality and congeniality of the hospital educational environment (HEE) is a major determinant for the success of the ‎training of future health professionals. Satisfactory and effective engagement of fellow physicians in the clinical learning program ultimately affects their clinical performance. Objectives: To evaluate and assess the HEE of residents and fellow trainees at a university hospital in Jeddah using a psychometric tool, Post-graduate Hospital Educational Environment Measure (PHEEM). Methods: The PHEEM questionnaire developed by Roff et al. (2005) was used to survey 71 pediatric post-graduate trainees in the second half of 2021. The HEE perception was correlated with the trainee’s demographic and academic data. Principal component ‎analysis was performed to examine the validity of the PHEEM 3-dimensional construct. Results: Most of the participants were from the first (23.9%) and second post-graduate year (33.8%) and ‎had majorly general pediatrics as a specialty (83.1%). The mean PHEEM score was 99.35 ± 22.46 out of 160 with a distribution pattern of poor (2.8%), suboptimal (9.9%), more ‎positive with the need for improvement (73.2%), and optimal (14.1%). The PHEEM score was significantly lower among trainees of < 27 years (94.33 ± 23.48; P = 0.037) compared to the ones aged > 27 years (105.47 ± 19.83). Medical residents and trainees from the first post-graduate year scored remarkably low (87.86 ± 21.21; P = 0.008) compared to the other senior fellow peers. The correlation observed in overall PHEEM scores showed a similar trend in 3 individual components. For the principal component analysis (PCA), 10 components met the ‎initial criteria of eigenvalue > 1 and loading factor > 0.5, encompassing 75.9% of the scale ‎variance. The thematic analysis highlighted several areas for improvement, such as trainee rights and psychological support. Conclusions: The HEE of the pediatric department was broadly ‎suitable for post-graduate training programs. There are still several areas for improvement, including organizational and logistical aspects that include adequate learning time. ‎In addition, the psychological safety of trainees should also be considered.

检验针对沙特儿科受训人员的研究生医院教育环境测量的心理计量特性:主成分分析
背景:医院教育环境(HEE)的质量和舒适度是未来卫生专业人员培训成功与否的主要决定因素。医生同事在临床学习计划中的满意度和有效参与度最终会影响他们的临床表现。目标:使用心理测量工具 "研究生医院教育环境测量(PHEEM)"对吉达一所大学医院的住院医师和实习医师的医院教育环境进行评估。方法:采用 Roff 等人(2005 年)开发的 PHEEM 问卷对 2021 年下半年 71 名儿科研究生学员进行了调查。HEE 感知与学员的人口统计学和学术数据相关联。进行了主成分分析,以检验 PHEEM 三维结构的有效性。结果:大部分学员来自研究生一年级(23.9%)和研究生二年级(33.8%),专业为普通儿科(83.1%)。平均 PHEEM 分数为 99.35 ± 22.46(满分 160 分),分布模式为较差(2.8%)、次优(9.9%)、较积极且需要改进(73.2%)和最优(14.1%)。与年龄大于 27 岁的受训人员(105.47 ± 19.83)相比,年龄小于 27 岁的受训人员的 PHEEM 分数明显较低(94.33 ± 23.48;P = 0.037)。与其他高年级学员相比,住院医师和研究生一年级学员的得分明显偏低(87.86 ± 21.21;P = 0.008)。在 PHEEM 总分中观察到的相关性在 3 个单独成分中也呈现出类似的趋势。在主成分分析(PCA)中,有 10 个成分符合特征值大于 1 和负荷因子大于 0.5 的初始标准,占量表方差的 75.9%。专题分析强调了几个需要改进的方面,如学员权利和心理支持。结论:儿科的 HEE 大致适合研究生培训项目。仍有几个方面需要改进,包括组织和后勤方面,其中包括充足的学习时间。此外,还应考虑学员的心理安全。
