Outline of Final Research Achievements

We conducted questionnare survey among postgraduate residents who undertook rotation in the psychiatry department at Nagasaki University Hospital across two academic years from April 2020. In total, 99 residents responded to this survey. Residents appeared to improve their understanding and confidence in initial treatment of psychiatry-related competency items. Residents can acquire a more positive perception towards psychiatric disease. Residents exhibited increased readiness toward interprofessional learning.
Mandatory psychiatry rotation is reasonable and worthwhile, and may constitute an essential and effective part of the residency curriculum.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

現在の医師臨床研修指導ガイドラインにおいて、精神科ローテートは必修とされているが、具体的に精神科でどのような学習をするべきか、あまり具体的に書かれてはいない。本研究を通して、研修医が精神科ローテートを通してどのような学習ができているかを明らかにした。精神疾患に対するイメージや、多職種連携への姿勢など、研修後にどの専門に進むかに関わらず共通して求められるであろう態度を、精神科での研修を通して身につけることができていると思われた。
