The quality of the learning environment in the operating room (OR) is vital for the training of surgical residents. Tools with validity evidence exist to measure resident perceptions of the operative learning environment, yet to date no studies have assessed this environment for obstetrics and gynecology residency programs in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
We explored perceptions of obstetrics and gynecology residents regarding their operative learning environment in 2 hospitals in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
Our cross-sectional study was conducted in 2018 using the validated Surgical Theater Educational Environmental Measure (STEEM) questionnaire for trainee assessments in the OR learning environment. The 4 STEEM subscales measure teaching and training, learning opportunities, overall atmosphere, and supervision, workload, and support, respectively. Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation were used to establish the internal consistence and reliability of the questionnaire. We calculated an overall score and compared scores between the 2 institutions using Student's test.
Thirty-one residents completed the questionnaire (18 at Corniche Hospital and 13 at Al Ain Hospital). The overall average STEEM score was 142.1. The score for residents at Corniche Hospital was 134.9 and that for Al Ain Hospital was 152.2, with better overall scores on 3 STEEM domains at Al Ain Hospital.
Our study showed that obstetrics and gynecology residents in the UAE have a positive perception of their operative learning environment. We also identified areas for improvement.
手术室的学习环境质量对于外科住院医师的培训至关重要。已有具有效度证据的工具来衡量住院医师对手术学习环境的看法，但迄今为止，尚无研究评估阿拉伯联合酋长国（阿联酋）妇产科住院医师培训项目的这一环境。
我们探讨了阿联酋阿布扎比两家医院妇产科住院医师对其手术学习环境的看法。
我们于2018年进行了一项横断面研究，使用经过验证的手术剧场教育环境测量（STEEM）问卷对手术室学习环境中的实习生进行评估。STEEM的4个分量表分别测量教学与培训、学习机会、整体氛围以及监督、工作量和支持。使用克朗巴哈系数和组内相关系数来确定问卷的内部一致性和可靠性。我们计算了总分，并使用学生t检验比较了两家机构之间的得分。
31名住院医师完成了问卷（科尼什医院18名，艾因医院13名）。STEEM的总体平均得分为142.1。科尼什医院住院医师的得分为134.9，艾因医院为152.2，艾因医院在STEEM的3个领域的总体得分更高。
我们的研究表明，阿联酋的妇产科住院医师对其手术学习环境有积极的看法。我们还确定了需要改进的领域。
