摘要:Objectives: To assess the correlation between perception of the learning environment and the approach to learning adopted by anesthesiology residents throughout training in an academic institution in the United States. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving forty-one anesthesiology residents who completed electronic forms of the Revised Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire to assess learning approaches, and the Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure questionnaire to assess learning environment. Convenience sampling was used with the current anesthesiology residents. Learning approaches were analyzed with a multiple regression model for correlation between total score, domains, and training level. Analysis of variance was used to assess differences in perception of the learning environment based on training level. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the correlation between domains of learning the environment and approaches questionnaires. Cronbach α was used to evaluate the internal consistency of responses within each domain of both questionnaires. Results: Forty-one residents completed the questionnaires. Cronbach α varied between 0.604 and 0.76 among the domains in the Study Process Questionnaire and was greater than 0.60 for the Dundee questionnaire. There was a moderate correlation between total deep approach scores and the total subjective perception of teachers scores (R2= - 0.507, p <0.01). There was no significant association between specific domains of Dundee and study process questionnaires and resident year of training. Conclusions: The learning approaches adopted by anesthesiology residents and the perception of the educational environment are not correlated with years of training. The DREEM and R-SPQ-2F questionnaires should not be recommended for evaluation of anesthesiology residents.
