Feedback has proven crucial in various training systems, especially medical training. However, data regarding the effectiveness of a feedback framework in psychiatry post-graduate (PG) training is limited. Hence, we undertook this survey to assess the essential components of a feedback mechanism in psychiatry PG training in India.
This is a cross-sectional survey in which a questionnaire was circulated online to residents pursuing psychiatry training across various medical colleges, institutions, and hospitals in India. The questionnaire aimed to cover various aspects of a feedback program for psychiatry PG training. The target audience was kept as residents since they are the main benefactors of an effective feedback system.
We received responses from 262 residents from 84 departments nationwide. The majority ( = 248, 94.7%) believed that a feedback system is necessary in psychiatry residency. Most believe feedback about outpatient and inpatient clinical performance and patient management skills is highly valuable. Real-time feedback was reported to be helpful, and faculty, followed by senior residents, became the most desired sources of feedback.
The survey highlights that residents strongly need a feedback mechanism during psychiatry residency. Implementing a feedback program and constantly evaluating its effectiveness could go a long way in improving psychiatry training outcomes in India.
反馈在各种培训系统中已被证明至关重要，尤其是在医学培训中。然而，关于反馈框架在精神病学研究生（PG）培训中的有效性的数据有限。因此，我们进行了这项调查，以评估印度精神病学PG培训中反馈机制的基本组成部分。
这是一项横断面调查，通过在线方式向印度各医学院、机构和医院中接受精神病学培训的住院医师发放问卷。该问卷旨在涵盖精神病学PG培训反馈计划的各个方面。目标受众为住院医师，因为他们是有效反馈系统的主要受益者。
我们收到了来自全国84个科室的262名住院医师的回复。大多数人（n = 248，94.7%）认为精神病学住院医师培训中需要反馈系统。大多数人认为关于门诊和住院临床表 现以及患者管理技能的反馈非常有价值。据报告，实时反馈很有帮助，而教员，其次是高年资住院医师，成为最理想的反馈来源。
该调查强调，住院医师在精神病学住院医师培训期间强烈需要反馈机制。实施反馈计划并不断评估其有效性，对于改善印度的精神病学培训成果大有帮助。
