Description
Doctors in training carry heavy loads, and Hashmi and co-authors explored how pediatric trainees at a private hospital in Karachi, Pakistan, fared in their professional quality of life. They surveyed trainees in 2019 and 2020 with a standard scale that splits the idea into three parts: compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. Group discussions followed, to explain what the numbers meant.
A total of 118 responses came in across the two years. Scores on all three parts sat at a moderate level in both years, and no clear links appeared with gender, living place, or year of training. The discussions gave a mixed picture, with trainees naming both good and bad effects of the residency on their lives. The authors say the study opens a window on the specific events trainees face and on how training programs might support them better.
