ABSTRACT
Background: Academic performance is the mean objective of the/
teaching-learning process, but there are many other variables or factors
outside the OB/GYN resident involved in this process, such as those
related to the environment in which they operate, teachers, interaction
with their peers, family, society, and many other factors contained individually,
such as learning styles, motivation, study habits, personality
traits, among others.
Objective: Identify which are the main socio-economic and psychoaffective
factors that influence on academic performance of residents
in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Material and methods: Observational, cross-sectional quantitative,
correlational and non-experimental study in Obstetrics and Gynecology
residents of a public general hospital tertiary care. A type survey
to obtain data and deepen personal and socioeconomic status of each
resident instrument was designed.
Results: Females predominated with 75% of cases and only 25% were
male. Eighty percent of medical residents claimed that having a good
habit of sleep helps improve their academic performance and their
performance in academic and healthcare activities. Seventy five percent
felt that work much better with peers of the opposite sex. Fifty percent
felt that developing a type of self-directed learning contributes greatly
to improve their performance and 95% felt that having a mentor during
residency contributes to improve their academic performance. Seventy
five percent reported being victim of abuse or discrimination from their
peers. Eighty percent claimed to have been very sad or depressed at
some point during residency. Forty percent frequently consumed alcohol
and 35% used tobacco to relax.
