La percepción de respaldo social fue de 25.36 ± 5.10 con más pros que contras. Se obtuvo una diferencia estadísticamente significativa según el año de residencia tanto en el global (p= 0.0003), autonomía (p= 0.0164), enseñanza (p= 0.001) y apoyo social (p= 0.0128), con resultados mayores en el grupo de residentes de 4to y 5to año. No hubo diferencias significativas según universidad de procedencia, centro de internado ni según sexo. Conclusiones: El PHEEM es un instrumento confiable y fácil de administrar, permite valorar el ambiente educacional en el que se desarrolla un programa de entrenamiento en un contexto asistencial.

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the learning environment of the postgraduate training program in pediatrics and subspecialties of the Hospital del Niño Dr. José Renán Esquivel using the Postgraduate Hospital Educational Environment Measure (PHEEM) questionnaire. Method: Observational, analytical, cross-sectional study. Results: The questionnaire was applied to 46 (94%) of the 49 eligible subjects, 36 (78.2%) of whom were female. The mean age of the subjects was 30.4 years ± 2.28 years with a minimum of 24 years and a maximum of 34 years. Four (8.6%) corresponded to first year residents, 25 (54%) to second year residents, 9 (19%) to third year residents and 8 (17%) to fourth and fifth year residents. The overall result of the questionnaire was 97.80± 17.76 indicating a more positive than negative educational environment with room for improvement. The domain of perception of autonomy was 35.58 ± 6.34 indicating a more positive perception of one's work, for perception of teaching quality it was 36.84 ±7.89 indicating that it is heading in the right direction. The perception of social support was 25.36 ± 5.10 with more pros than cons. A statistically significant difference was obtained according to the year of residency in global (p= 0.0003), autonomy (p= 0.0164), teaching (p= 0.001) and social support (p= 0.0128), with higher results in the group of 4th and 5th year residents. There were no significant differences according to university of origin, internship center or gender. Conclusions: The PHEEM is a reliable and easy-to-administer instrument, it allows us to assess the educational environment in which a training program is developed in a healthcare context.
