Programa de residentado médico: percepciones de los médicos residentes en hospitales de Lima y Callao

Abstract

Con el objetivo de calificar la formación del programa de residentado médico desde las percepciones de los residentes, se aplicó una encuesta estructurada, basada en la literatura internacional a 228 participantes. Los residentes, en su mayoría, tenían baja supervisión durante las guardias, se encontraban en sobrecarga laboral y no tenían descanso posguardia. En conclusión, la calificación de los residentes acerca de su formación en su mayoría es buena, pero este porcentaje no supera el 50%, los entes formadores podrían utilizar estos resultados para proponer mejoras en los programas de formación de médicos residentes en el Perú.

In order to rate the medical residency training program from the perceptions of residents, a structured survey, based on international literature, was applied to 228 participants. 48.2% of residents rated their training as “good,” 36.4% as “fair” and 15.4% as “poor”. Most of the residents had low supervision while on call, were overworked and did not have rest after being on call. Having a good annual curriculum (OR: 8.5; 95% CI: 4.1 to 7.4) and university promotion of research (OR 2.4, 95% CI: 1.1 to 5.2) were independent factors associated with higher ratings of training. In conclusion, the rating of residents about their training is mostly good, but this percentage does not exceed 50%. Training authorities could use these results to propose improvements in training programs for medical residents in Peru.
