“…The nature of the enthusiasm deficit for research requires further investigation. Almost half said participation in research was considered mandatory, which is in keeping with previous work indicating that 32% of respondents indicating that it should be a requirement [10]. …”

BackgroundResearch activity is especially critical in the field of psychiatry as it is evolving rapidly thanks to advances in neuroscience.ResultsWe administered a 34-item survey regarding research experiences targeted at psychiatry residents and postgraduate residency program directors in Canada. One hundred and nineteen participants answered the survey (16 program directors, 103 residents) allowing for a margin of error of 8.4% at a 95% confidence interval. Research was rated as important in informing clinical practice (87.0% yes, 13.0% no), but only 28.7% of respondents reported that it was taught well at their home institution (33.0% no, 38.3% neutral). Only a small proportion was enthusiastic or very enthusiastic about participating in research (21.7%).ConclusionsWhile the importance of research is recognized, there is little consensus with respect to whether a standardized research practicum component is included in the resident curriculum.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s13104-016-2290-1) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Psychiatry Resident and Program Director Perceptions of Neuroscience

et al. 2016

The goal of this survey was to gain an understanding of perceptions and experiences of neuroscience for psychiatry residents. We administered a 30-item online survey. One hundred and nineteen participants responded, allowing for a margin of error of 8.4% at a 95% confidence interval. Half of respondents felt they were receiving adequate training in neuroscience (48%), with most reporting opportunities to participate in neuroscientific research (64.6%). However, few felt prepared to translate neuroscientific findings into practice (33%). Almost half of the participants indicated that the Royal College should develop a specific neuroscience curriculum (46%). These findings are subject to limitations inherent in survey studies, including possible bias of who responds and how responses are based off the participant's perception of their own training environment, and the intent of the questions in the survey. Overall, findings support the idea that changes are needed to improve neuroscience literacy among residents in psychiatry.

“…Los datos publicados sobre las actitudes de médicos residentes hacia la investigación, en diferentes especialidades, sugieren que no todos los residentes están entusiasmados con la investigación y que algunos de ellos no la valoran como una experiencia académica útil dentro de la residencia médica (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25). Esto está en contraste con nuestros resultados, en donde la mayoría de los residentes estaba de acuerdo con que la investigación es esencial para el desarrollo de una carrera académica (95%), que la misma mejora la atención sanitaria del paciente (75%) y que el estudio sobre metodología de la investigación debe ser obligatorio en el programa académico de la residencia en Medicina Familiar (70%).…”

Actitudes y desafíos percibidos de médicos residentes de medicina familiar hacia la investigación: un estudio piloto de Paraguay, 2016Mem. Inst. Investig. Cienc. Salud. 201614(3): 107-114 R E S U M E NLas competencias en investigación han sido reconocidas como parte esencial de la educación médica en el postgrado. El objetivo de este estudio piloto fue evaluar las actitudes y desafíos percibidos de médicos residentes de Medicina Familiar hacia la investigación. Estudio piloto, observacional, descriptivo, de corte transverso y muestreo no probabilístico, en el que se incluyeron 20 médicos residentes. Se utilizó un cuestionario sobre actitudes y desafíos percibidos sobre la investigación. Se realizó estadística descriptiva para todas las variables. Los resultados se expresaron en frecuencias, porcentajes, medias y desvíos estándar. Del total de participantes, sólo 7 (35%) participaron en algún proyecto de investigación durante la residencia, principalmente, en estudios descriptivos (30%) y reportes de casos (15%). El 60% respondió que en la residencia no desarrollaban un programa específico de formación en investigación, aunque la mayoría estuvo de acuerdo con que la investigación es esencial para el desarrollo de una carrera académica (95%), que mejora la atención sanitaria del paciente (75%) y que su estudio debe ser obligatorio en el currículo académico (70%). Los médicos residentes paraguayos presentan actitudes positivas y reconocen la importancia de la investigación, no obstante, sólo el 35% ha realizado investigaciones durante su programa de residencia, siendo el principal desafío al que se enfrentan, la falta detiempo protegido. Se considera necesario el rediseño del currículo del programa de residencia en Medicina Familiar de la Universidad Nacional de Asunción a fin de incluir de manera trasversal la formación en investigación de médicos residentes.Palabras clave: investigación, evaluación, actitudes, desafíos, médicos residentes, medicina familiar.Attitudes and perceived challenges towards research of medical residents of family medicine: a pilot study from Paraguay, 2016 A B S T R A C TResearch skills have been recognized as an essential part of medical education at the postgraduate level.
