Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To assess the impact of the coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic on paediatric postgraduate training as perceived by the trainees.

METHODS

The cross-sectional exploratory study was conducted at the Department of Paediatrics, King Edward Medical University, Lahore, Pakistan, from May to June 2020, and comprised paediatric postgraduate trainees associated with various hospitals across the country who were approached online with a pre-designed 24-item questionnaire during the peak months of the pandemic. Data was analysed using SPSS 25.

RESULTS

Of the 226 postgraduates, 134(59.2%) were females. The overall mean age was 28.85±3.06 years. Of the total, 200(88.5%) and 195(86.2%) reported that pandemic had adversely impacted their training and research. The number of trainees managing >30 patients and doing >5 procedures per week before the pandemic decreased from 126(55.8%) and 150(66.4%) to 38(16.8%) and 41(18.1%), respectively, during the pandemic (p=0.01). Regarding e-learning, 168(74.3%) trainees thought it might partly compensate for training, 135(59.7%) showed readiness for it, and 179(79.2%) believed this could not replace actual patient interaction.

CONCLUSIONS

The coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic was found to have adversely impacted paediatric postgraduate training.

摘要

目的

评估新冠疫情对儿科研究生培训的影响，评估对象为受训者。

方法

这是一项在 2020 年 5 月至 6 月期间于巴基斯坦拉合尔爱德华国王医科大学儿科进行的横断面探索性研究，研究对象为与全国各地多家医院相关的儿科研究生，在疫情高峰期，通过在线方式向他们发放了一份预先设计的包含 24 个问题的问卷。使用 SPSS 25 对数据进行分析。

结果

在 226 名研究生中，134 名（59.2%）为女性。总体平均年龄为 28.85±3.06 岁。在所有研究生中，200 名（88.5%）和 195 名（86.2%）报告说疫情对他们的培训和研究产生了不利影响。在疫情前，每周管理 30 多名患者和进行 5 次以上操作的受训者人数从 126 名（55.8%）和 150 名（66.4%）降至 38 名（16.8%）和 41 名（18.1%）（p=0.01）。关于电子学习，168 名（74.3%）研究生认为它可能在一定程度上弥补培训，135 名（59.7%）表示准备好使用电子学习，179 名（79.2%）认为它不能替代实际的患者互动。
