The aim of this study is to investigate the theoretical, practical, and academic effects of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on ophthalmology residents.
The web-based survey consisting of 28 questions was sent through Email to 37 educators who provides resident training. We divided the pandemic period into three, according to the severity of the pandemic and the measures, compared with pre-pandemic period (PreP), separately. Between March 2020 and June 2020 was named as P1, June 2020-October 2020 was named as P2, and October 2020-March 2021 was named as P3.
Responses received from 35 centers (17 university hospitals, 18 training and research state hospitals). There were totally 458 residents in the hospitals. Two hundred and forty-six of them (53.71%) worked on COVID-19 duties, with an average working time of 69.57 days. There were significant decreases in the number of patients examined by resident doctors and theoretical training time in the P1, P2, and P3 periods compared to PreP (p<0.05 for all). Furthermore, in terms of the total number of surgeries in clinics and surgeries performed by residents, there were significant decreases in P1 and P2 compared to PreP (p<0.001 for both), but there was no significant difference in P3 (p=0.109). In the examinations held in the clinic, in the 1st year of the pandemic, the grade average was lower than before the pandemic (p<0.05). Seventeen residents (3.74%) resigned or moved to another hospital.
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the theoretical, practical, and academic training of ophthalmology residents.
本研究旨在调查2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行对眼科住院医师的理论、实践和学术方面的影响。
通过电子邮件向37名提供住院医师培训的教育工作者发送了包含28个问题的网络调查问卷。我们根据大流行的严重程度和措施，将大流行时期分为三个阶段，并分别与大流行前时期（PreP）进行比较。2020年3月至2020年6月被命名为P1，2020年6月至2020年10月被命名为P2，2020年10月至2021年3月被命名为P3。
收到了来自35个中心（17所大学医院、18所培训和研究型州立医院）的回复。这些医院共有458名住院医师。其中246人（53.71%）参与了COVID-19相关工作，平均工作时间为69.57天。与PreP相比，P1、P2和P3时期住院医师检查的患者数量和理论培训时间均显著减少（所有p<0.05）。此外，就诊所的手术总数和住院医师进行的手术而言，P1和P2与PreP相比显著减少（两者p<0.001），但P3没有显著差异（p=0.109）。在诊所进行的考试中，在大流行的第一年，平均成绩低于大流行前（p<0.05）。17名住院医师（3.74%）辞职或转到了另一家医院。
COVID-19大流行严重影响了眼科住院医师的理论、实践和学术培训。
