“…Meagher et al 3 reported that 27% of trainees had experienced violence at work. A follow-up study showed that 16% of trainees had experienced violence at work, but more than two-thirds had no training in 'breakaway' techniques, only 25% were aware of a critical incident debriefing service in their area and most were dissatisfied with the induction training provided by their employers.…”

SummaryWe performed a review of the international literature, Royal College of Psychiatrists guidelines and Irish legislation concerning psychiatric trainees and their experience of violence. Physical violence in the workplace was reported by 16% of trainees in Ireland and 67% of specialist registrars in the UK; 72% of trainees in Belgium reported verbal violence. Personal characteristics of trainees which increase the risk of experiencing violence are under-researched, although it is observed that the duration of clinical experience seems to be somewhat protective. the advent of community psychiatry brings new risks to trainees. the Royal College of Psychiatrists issued guidelines and reports that are useful in developing facilities and promoting trainee safety. Although legislation provides some protection to trainees, it also places responsibility on them as employees.

Objectives: To assess the current attitudes of Irish psychiatric trainees to their training and to determine whether problems identified five years ago have improved.Method: A postal questionnaire was circulated to all identified psychiatric trainees in the eastern region of Ireland over a six-month period in 2000.Results: 153 (62%) trainees responded to the study, and 81% described their training as ‘adequate’ or better. Significant demographic changes over the last five years are recorded. Satisfactory induction, regular supervision and access to tutors are all associated with higher overall satisfaction with training. Sixty-seven per cent report receiving an induction course, but just 40% describe this as satisfactory, and only 49% of trainees receive regular supervision. Specific difficulties in training are reported less frequently than in 1995, but 35% of non-EU doctors report racial discrimination in training and only 59% of trainees received a practical demonstration prior to administering electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).Conclusions: Trainees continue to express high levels of satisfaction with their training. Improvements have been made in a number of key areas, although difficulties remain. For example, regular supervision, which was associated with a positive outlook on training, are unavailable to a majority of trainees.
