The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence, and the consequences, of abusive situations as perceived by students during the course of their medical training. A descriptive study was carried out surveying the entire 2000 fifth-year class of 181 in the Medical School of the University of Chile. The questionnaire was answered by 144 students. Results showed that 91.7% of the students who responded had suffered at least one episode of abuse while enrolled in medical school. The main offenders were teachers and peers. Verbal abuse was the most common (85.4%), followed by psychological (79.9%), sexual(26.4%) and physical (23.6%) abuse. Students reported that abuse had effects on their mental health, social life and the image they had of physicians; 17% considered dropping out of school as a consequence of this experience. Efforts should be addressed to prompt educators to reflect on their role.
本研究的目的是确定学生在医学培训过程中所感知到的虐待情况的发生率及其后果。开展了一项描述性研究，对智利大学医学院2000名五年级的181名学生进行了调查。144名学生回答了问卷。结果显示，91.7%的受访学生在医学院就读期间至少遭受过一次虐待。主要施虐者是教师和同龄人。言语虐待最为常见（85.4%），其次是心理虐待（79.9%）、性虐待（26.4%）和身体虐待（23.6%）。学生们报告称，虐待对他们的心理健康、社交生活以及他们对医生的印象都产生了影响；17%的学生因这段经历考虑退学。应促使教育工作者反思自己的角色。
