ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Evaluation of the impact of the health crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic on specialized healthcare training in a teaching center.METHODS:
Cross-sectional descriptive study, by means of an electronic questionnaire sent to 167 residents in June 2020, to evaluate the burden of care, suspension of rotations and Covid-19 symptoms. The impact on the acquisition of professional competencies was measured using a four-level Likert scale (none, a little, quiet, a lot). The profile of acquired competencies was constructed and its association with the professional profile was studied using Generalized Linear Models. The qualitative approach was carried out through an open question on how it influenced their learning and the different categories were extracted through triangulation.RESULTS:
The impact on learning was important for 94.8% of the residents. A total of 81.4% left the rotations they were doing and reported high workload, loss of training opportunities, uncertainty and ethical conflicts. They appreciated significant learning in the competencies of teamwork (93.2%), professionalism (86.2%), ethics (79.9%) and communication (78%). Technical competencies were deficient. The final balance of learning was perceived as positive by 54.4%, especially residents in central services and medical specialties. A total of 67.8% felt overwhelmed at times due to fatigue-emotional impact, care overload, ethical conflicts and lack of resources.CONCLUSIONS:
The Covid-19 pandemic had an exceptional impact on specialized health care training. It is necessary to re-evaluate training programs to ensure the acquisition of the technical competencies that are lacking.Keywords
