Abstract

Background: Measurement of medical graduates' perception of their internship program can help to improve the program to guarantee the general satisfaction of medical interns and enhance their clinical training.

Objective: To evaluate the medical interns' perceived preparedness for clinical practice and investigate the contributing elements.

Method: The study was carried out to include 109 medical interns. Assessment preparedness for hospital practice questionnaire in Hospitals was used.

Results: For clinical practice, the vast majority of participants (81.7%) were either fully or very well prepared. However, no statistically significant relationship was observed between the intern characteristics and preparedness level. It was found that the interns were not well prepared regarding handling emergencies, dealing with dying patients (44%), inserting an intravenous line (35.8%), conducting a digital-rectal examination (31.2%), as well as speaking with the social worker about the patient (29%). Males scored significantly higher than females regarding the interpersonal domain.

Conclusion & recommendations: The results revealed that most interns were adequately trained for their clinical experiences. More emphasis on training in emergencies, catheterization, insertion of intravenous lines, and dealing with dying patients is required, in addition to continuous assessment of the interns after each clinical rotation to discover the areas of weakness.

医学实习生临床实践的感知准备：一项横断面研究。

背景：测量医学毕业生对实习计划的认知，有助于改进实习计划，保证实习生的总体满意度，提高实习生的临床培训水平。目的：评价医学实习生临床实习的感知准备情况，并探讨影响因素。方法：以109名实习医师为研究对象。采用医院实践评估准备问卷。结果：在临床实践中，绝大多数参与者（81.7%）做好了充分或非常充分的准备。然而，实习生特征与准备水平之间没有统计学上的显著关系。调查发现，实习生在处理紧急情况、处理临终病人（44%）、插入静脉注射管（35.8%）、进行直肠指检（31.2%）以及与社工谈论病人（29%）方面准备不足。在人际关系方面，男性的得分明显高于女性。结论与建议：结果显示，大多数实习生接受了充分的临床经验培训。除了在每次临床轮转后对实习生进行持续评估以发现薄弱环节外，还需要更多地强调在紧急情况、置管、静脉插管和处理垂死病人方面的培训。
