Introduction:
Mental health is an issue that has taken on great importance in recent years and has become a substantial part of many training courses around the world.
Objective:
To determine the perception of resident physicians on a mental health course during the last year of residency.
Methods:
Observational, descriptive, and transversal study with a sample of 130 students from the Mental Health program of the medical residency of Universidad Nacional Federico Villarreal who were surveyed with a form of 10 questions that sought to know the perceptions of the students on this course. The technique used was non-probability sampling.
Results:
of the 130 respondents, 57.69% were women and 13.85% were pediatricians, 57.69% performed a clinical specialty and 58.46% were free-standing. An exploratory analysis was made: on the importance of the course, differences were found with the age range (p = 0.038) and modality of residence (p = 0.05). In addition, regarding the acceptance of the course, differences were found with the age range (p = 0.021) and type of residency program (P = 0.053).
Conclusion:
Participants in the mental health course of the medical residency have good acceptance of this subject and are considered important.
