Abstract

Introduction: The Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic situation brings us the opportunity to test the strength and limitations of our health delivery system. Residents being the backbone of quality-health-delivery of any institute have taken the brunt. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional self-administered questionnaire-based survey was used to assess the effect on medical training and stress of postgraduate residents in clinical specialties of armed forces institutions. Results: 266 valid responses were analyzed. Eighty-seven percent of residents felt their surgical/procedure-related training was affected. Bedside/clinical training was found to be affected by 92% and theoretical learning by 78%. A significant difference was found between residents in medical and allied specialties and residents in surgery and allied specialties (81% vs. 96.3%) with regard to the negative effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on surgical/procedural skills training (P < 0.05). There was a significant difference in the likelihood of being posted for COVID duties based on gender (P = 0.01) and year of the course (P = 0.004). Posting on COVID duties did not significantly affect surgical, clinical, or theoretical training. Of the respondents, 37%, 49%, and 14% had a mild, moderate, and severe increase in stress, respectively. 18%, 52%, and 30% experienced mild, moderate, and severe increased stress among family members. Gender, age, category, year of residency, or subject of specialization did not have any significant effect on the level of personal or family stress. Conclusion: This survey attempts to bring forth the effect of the pandemic on medical training schedules and stress among residents. Such surveys would enhance understanding and bring solutions to the problem that the pandemic has brought.
从学生角度看严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型疫情对军队医疗机构研究生医学教育的影响
严重急性呼吸综合征(sars)冠状病毒大流行疫情为我们提供了检验卫生服务系统实力和局限性的机会。作为任何机构提供高质量医疗服务的支柱,住院医生首当其冲。材料与方法:采用横断面自填问卷调查的方法,对军队院校临床专科研究生住院医师的医学训练和心理压力的影响进行评估。结果:对266份有效问卷进行分析。87%的住院医生认为他们的外科相关培训受到了影响。研究发现,床边/临床培训受到92%的影响,理论学习受到78%的影响。在新冠肺炎大流行对外科/手术技能培训的负面影响方面,内科及专科住院医师与外科及专科住院医师的差异有统计学意义(81% vs. 96.3%) (P < 0.05)。根据性别(P = 0.01)和课程年份(P = 0.004),被派去执行COVID职责的可能性存在显著差异。新冠肺炎值班对外科、临床或理论培训没有显著影响。在受访者中,分别有37%、49%和14%的人有轻度、中度和重度的压力增加。18%、52%和30%的家庭成员经历了轻度、中度和重度的压力增加。性别、年龄、类别、住院年份或专业科目对个人或家庭压力水平没有显著影响。结论:本调查旨在揭示疫情对住院医师医学培训时间和压力的影响。这种调查将增进了解,并为这一流行病带来的问题找到解决办法。
