| Abstrakt: | Background: Modern medical education is focused on students, and it is necessary to assess its level of satisfaction. A questionnaire was validated and we then conducted a study about the educational satisfaction level of medical residents of the Hospital General of Mexico. Methods: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective study was conducted. A questionnaire of 21 items was validated and then applied to a representative sample of medical residents. Each item was evaluated with a scale from 0 to 10 and then gathered in groups: 0-5 = poor, 6-7 = average, 8 = good, 9 = very good, and 10 = excellent. Descriptive and inferential statistics were carried out using SPSS v.17.0. Results: The questionnaire had internal validity with Cronbach's alpha >0.91 by item. Included in the study were 355 medical residents representing 37 different specialties. The performance perception of the ìheadî professors showed a wide heterogeneity: excellent (23.7%), very good (20.6%), good (16.9%), average (23.1%), poor (15.8%). Fourth-year residents and upward valued the educational performance higher (p = 0.001) as well as medical/surgical residents (p = 0.02). Intermediate-level residents valued the professor higher (p = 0.001), similar to students who were married or living with a partner (p <0.001). Upon contrasting the evaluation of the teacher's performance with the overall course performance, a linear, direct and significant correlation was obtained with Spearman's correlation coefficient = 0.78 and regression coefficient (p <0.001). Conclusions: We found a wide range of heterogeneity of results. Performance of the professors was the basic component to judge the quality of the residents' courses. |
