Evaluation of Medical Specialization Education Students' Perceptions of Hospital Education Environment and Affecting Factors

Abstract

Aim: Our aim in this study is to determine the perceptions of medical residency students studying at a university about the hospital education environment and the factors affecting it. Methods: This was a descriptive study. The population of the research consisted of specialty students studying at Sivas Cumhuriyet University. The research questionnaire was sent to the participants via text message to their personal mobile phone numbers. Informed consent was obtained from the participants on the first page of the survey link sent to them. The data collection tool used in the study included a total of 71 questions. The first part was created by the researchers through literature review and included 31 questions. The other 40 questions were Postgraduate Hospital Educational Environment Measure (PHEEM). Results: 266 of the 387 residency students in the faculty participated in the survey (Response rate: 68.7%). 79% of residency students studying in medical sciences and 56% in surgical sciences participated in the research. 11.7% (n=23) of residents from medical sciences and 28.6% (n=20) of residents from surgical sciences stated that no seminar hours were held. Postgraduate Hospital Educational Environment Measure mean score of the residency students was found to be 83.6 ± 25.5. The mean score did not differ significantly between departments (p=0.578). Those who thought that there were enough residents and faculty members had higher educational environment measure scores (respectively p=0.010 and p<0.001). The educational environment scale scores of the specialty students who participated in scientific research and participated in the congress were higher than the groups that did not participate (respectively p<0.001 and p=0.001). 52.3% (n=139) of the residency students evaluated the education environment as more positive than negative, but room for improvement. Conclusion: Most of the students evaluated the educational environment positively. In order to improve the perception of the educational environment, student seminar training and congress participation should be supported, and the number of faculty members should be brought to optimal levels.
