- Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to determine the quality perceptions and factors affecting emergency medicine specialty training using a questionnaire answered by emergency department (ED) residents. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted at the ED between February 2019 and June 2019. ED residents working at state universities, foundation universities, and educational research hospitals were included in the study. The first three survey questions aimed to reveal the characteristics of the participants. Other questions were focused on the application and practice of residency. Results: Three hundred thirty-six residents were included in this study. 85.1% of the residents worked at public universities. Two hundred and fifty (74.4%) participants declared that they had between four to six instructors. 96.3% stated that training meetings were held every week, 32.2% stated that education was adequate, and 85.9% did not apply for a resident exam in their clinics. While there was a difference between patient care (p=0.006) and research (p<0.001) in the departments or institutions that received training, there was no significant difference in terms of education (p=0.238). When the numerical adequacy of the educational staff was evaluated, the quality perceptions of the educational staff and the education received in the institution affected each other (p<0.001). Conclusion: It was concluded that a standard residency program was needed and the capacity, infrastructure characteristics, and training staff of the training institutions should be reviewed and properly regulated.
