Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the training process for resident physicians. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on professional training, and also the subjective perception of the levels of stress, anxiety, and depression among resident doctors specializing in gastroenterology in Romania. Methods: We conducted an observational cross-sectional study, for a period of two months, among 180 resident doctors specializing in gastroenterology, working in university hospitals in Romania. A questionnaire consisting of 29 questions distributed through social media platforms was completed in Google Forms. Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS software v.20. Results: A linear relationship was identified between the number of daily hospitalizations in the gastroenterology department and the rate of SARS-CoV-2 infection among resident physicians. In total, 80% of the participants reported an increase in the levels of stress, anxiety, and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic, and 88.3% stated that they were unsatisfied by online courses. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic has had negative effects on both professional training and levesl of stress, anxiety and depression of resident doctors specializing in gastroenterology. In the specialty of gastroenterology there may be certain peculiarities, due to the interventional aspects that this medical specialty involves, for example, endoscopic procedures. Thus, the necessity to acquire practical skills in addition to theoretical knowledge increases the negative impact on gastroenterology internship.
COVID-19大流行及其对罗马尼亚住院医师培训计划的影响
背景:新冠肺炎大流行对住院医师的培训过程产生了负面影响。本研究的目的是评估新冠肺炎大流行对专业培训的影响,以及罗马尼亚胃肠病专科住院医生对压力、焦虑和抑郁水平的主观感受。方法:我们对罗马尼亚大学医院的180名胃肠病专科住院医生进行了为期两个月的观察性横断面研究。在谷歌表格中完成了一份由29个问题组成的问卷,这些问题通过社交媒体平台分发。使用IBM SPSS软件v.20进行统计分析。结果:胃肠科的每日住院人数与住院医生中严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型感染率之间存在线性关系。总的来说,80%的参与者报告说,在新冠肺炎大流行期间,压力、焦虑和抑郁水平有所上升,88.3%的参与者表示他们对在线课程不满意。结论:新冠肺炎大流行对胃肠病专科住院医生的专业培训和压力、焦虑和抑郁水平产生了负面影响。在胃肠病专业中,由于该医学专业涉及的介入方面,例如内窥镜手术,可能存在某些特殊性。因此,除了理论知识外,还必须获得实践技能,这增加了对胃肠病实习的负面影响。
