“…The results showing that junior doctors do not feel confident dealing with psychiatric patients (Williams et al, 1997) demonstrate the necessity for change in the current medical training system. Whether the implementation of a ''Core Curriculum'' in psychiatry for medical students from the ''World Psychiatric Association and the World Federation for Medical Education'' can form the foundation of that change remains to be seen.…”

A positive education experience as well as personal experience increases the probability of a positive student attitude towards psychiatry. In order to assure adequate care for the mentally ill, it should be a fundamental aim of medical education to promote positive attitudes towards the mentally ill and psychiatry. It remains to be investigated, however, whether an improvement in the attitudes of students towards the psychiatry discipline is sufficient to increase the number of students who would like to become psychiatrists or whether other factors are more deciding such as career opportunities, conditions of further education, or income potential.

“…The need for special training is based on the finding that junior doctors do not feel confident dealing with psychiatric patients (Williams et al, 1997). In order to assure sustainability, contact with psychiatric patients should occur both early and constantly as changes in attitudes usually occurred when these conditions were met.…”

“…Issues of communication, of difference and of chronicity are important basic concepts, and developing positive attitudes to people with complex problems is essential. There is evidence that the earlier in the course psychological concepts are introduced to students and the more integrated they are with other clinical learning, then the more confident PRHOs feel in dealing with these issues (Williams et al, 1997). The concern that students are overwhelmed by detail was part of the GMC's motivation to change the curriculum so that students first become confident in talking to people about difficulties, including those with disabilities, and learn the facts later (Dillner, 1994).…”

“…In several studies, junior doctors themselves have expressed concerns for their rudimentary organisational skills, extreme workload, stress, depression, inadequate supervision, and insufficient support from senior staff (Calman and Donaldson, 1991;Roche et al, 1997Roche et al, , 1998. Studies have also shown that there are stressors or perceived problems faced by graduating medical students going into the community (Tamblyn, 1999;Williams et al, 1997).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to identify the dimensions of preparedness for hospital practice among newly graduated medical officers in Malaysian hospitals who are undergoing their housemanship training; and to compare the level of preparedness among the different curricula and predict the dimensions of preparedness for hospital practice. Design/methodology/approach -A national study was carried out and data collection was by means of self-administered questionnaire. Data obtained (n ¼ 1,213) were subjected to exploratory factor analysis using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 18 in extracting the dimensions of preparedness for hospital practice. Findings -Nine dimensions of hospital practice were identified which were access to information and IT skills, interpersonal skills, basic skills, and continuing professional development, holistic skills, coping skills, ethic and legal skills, patient management skills, scientific knowledge, and clinical skills. Overall, the respondents felt their medical schools prepared them for hospital practice. The strongest predictor for preparedness for hospital practice is coping skills. Holistic skill and preparedness for hospital practice was found to be negatively associated. Those who graduated from twining programmes between Malaysian and overseas universities were found to be better prepared for hospital practice. Social implications -An understanding on preparedness for hospital practice among newly graduated medical officers is a step forward in assuring patient safety and quality of care. The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: www.emeraldinsight.com/1754-2731.htmThe authors wish to acknowledge with thanks funding from the Institute of Health Management, Ministry of Health Malaysia for the above study. Originality/value -Although of significant importance, however, a study of this nature is rarely researched and the first for Malaysian houseman.
