Mentorship is important in residency training as it is necessary for personal and professional development of the resident trainees.
This study documents mentorship in orthopaedic residency training programme in Nigeria by assessing the awareness of orthopaedic residents on the role of a mentor, willingness to be mentored and their perceived reasons for the possible lack of mentors/ participation of senior colleagues in a mentorship programme.
This was a descriptive cross sectional study of 37 orthopaedic residents attending a revision course of the Faculty of Orthopaedics, National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria. Self-administered structured questionnaires were used to collect data. Data obtained was analyzed using SPSS version 21.0.
The mean age of the respondent was 34.7 ± 4.7 years. The Male: Female ratio was 19:1. The average number of years already spent in the residency programme by the respondents was 2.8 ± 0.9 years. Only 27% of residents had participated in a mentorship programme since they began residency programme but only half were still being mentored at the time of the study. Sixty-five percent reported no formal mentorship programme in their institutions. However, 73% of the respondents would want a formal mentorship programme in their institution. Ninety percent of the respondents desired to be mentored.
Most residents are willing to be mentored. Consultants and trainers should ensure that the trainees are mentored.
导师指导在住院医师培训中很重要，因为这对住院医师学员的个人和职业发展是必要的。
本研究通过评估骨科住院医师对导师角色的认识、接受导师指导的意愿以及他们认为可能缺乏导师/资深同事参与导师指导计划的原因，记录尼日利亚骨科住院医师培训计划中的导师指导情况。
这是一项对37名参加尼日利亚国家研究生医学院骨科系复习课程的骨科住院医师进行的描述性横断面研究。使用自填式结构化问卷收集数据。所获数据采用SPSS 21.0版进行分析。
受访者的平均年龄为34.7±4.7岁。男女比例为19:1。受访者在住院医师培训项目中已经度过的平均年数为2.8±0.9年。自开始住院医师培训项目以来，只有27%的住院医师参加过导师指导计划，但在研究时仍接受指导的只有一半。65%的人报告称其所在机构没有正式的导师指导计划。然而，73%的受访者希望在其所在机构有一个正式的导师指导计划。90%的受访者希望得到导师指导。
大多数住院医师愿意接受导师指导。顾问和培训人员应确保学员得到导师指导。
