Background: This study examines postgraduate surgical trainees' perceptions of the operating theatre learning environment using the OREEM survey to identify satisfaction areas and challenges such as biases, inadequate supervision, workload, and support, proposing potential improvements and solutions.
Methods: This prospective cross-sectional, single-institute study was conducted in Mardan Medical Complex, Mardan. The study was two months (March-April 2024),with a simple purposive sampling technique. ostgraduate FCPS trainees in surgical specialties were included in the study, while residents in non-FCPS programs were excluded. A validated “OREEM” questionnaire was distributed through Google Forms, and responses were recorded. The data was analyzed using Excel 2022 software.
Results: 71 residents participated in the study. 46 (64.8%) were male and 25 (35.2%) females. The mean age was 29. The OT learning environment was satisfactory, with the highest mean score for the “trainer and training” subscale and the lowest for “supervision, workload, and support” in the OREEM survey. A significant mean difference (p < 0.05) was noted between male and female responses regarding “anesthetist pressuring the trainer to perform surgery to shorten anesthesia time.” Additionally, there was a significant difference in responses between senior (years 3-5) and junior (years 1-2) residents on five items about the number and variety of available surgical cases interventions.
Conclusion: The OT learning environment was satisfactory, but some areas need improvement. Biases appeared in senior vs. junior and male vs. female responses to the OREEM questionnaire. Suggested solutions addressed these issues.
