| description | Background:
Teaching psychopathology in a residency program is considered the “heart” of the training program. There is a lack of data on evaluating psychiatry resident training in psychopathology.
Aim:
The aim of this study was to evaluate residents’ experience and satisfaction in terms of training and teaching psychopathology during the psychiatry residency program.
Methods:
It was a mixed-method design study and was cross-sectional. A total of 53 psychiatry residents (pursuing postgraduate courses) participated. Participants were assessed using qualitative and quantitative questionnaires. Qualitative interviews consisted of open-ended questionnaires. The student satisfaction questionnaire was quantitative.
Results:
In terms of dissatisfaction with the teaching specific skills during postgraduation, the most common dissatisfaction reported was with the quality of the clinical environment (35.8%), psychopathology taught during the course of the training period (34.0%), and the teaching of skills of interview technique to elaborate and label the psychopathology during the course of the training period (32.1%).
Conclusion:
Most of the residents were not satisfied with the teaching of psychopathology. Supervision was not adequate from the seniors and teachers for teaching psychopathology. The most commonly emerged strategy to teach psychopathology was the supervision of clinical interviews with real patients, and the initial 1st year should be more focused on teaching psychopathology in clinical settings. It can be said that there should be some competency-based training programs for the residents. |
