Que alterações de aprendizado tiveram os residentes de obstetrícia e ginecologia durante a COVID–19?

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on medical education, including the training of residents, affecting in-person teaching and leading institutions to adopt distance learning methods. Objective: To evaluate the perception of residents in gynecology and obstetrics regarding the impact of the pandemic on their learning, identifying their safety when providing care and seeking to investigate whether residents would consider extending their residency. Methods: A questionnaire with closed questions and responses on a Likert scale was used, addressing different aspects of medical residency during the pandemic to meet the objectives. Results: Of the 71 residents, the majority were women (74.65%). Data analysis revealed that surgical practice was affected for the majority of them (85.92%), with the postponement of elective operations in gynecology (97.18%). Regarding practical learning, 42.25% considered it to be partially satisfactory, while 14.08% considered it unsatisfactory. In the theoretical field, residents’ perception was better, with 43.66% considering the learning satisfactory and 47.89% partially so. The pandemic partially affected medical residency for the majority of residents (85.92%), and alternatives were adopted to replace the lack of theoretical classes and practical activities. Conclusion: The pandemic had a negative effect on medical education and resident training. The interruption of face-to-face activities affected both practical and theoretical learning
