摘要：Introduction: In interior Sindh, most of the hospitals including teaching hospitals of Hyderabad, Larkana, Sukkur and Nawabshah lack specialists so the attitude of available specialists as supervisors is important for learning in operation theatre like need good mentorship, observation and hands-on skills. Limited research has been conducted in Pakistan while none of the study has been done considering specifically the hospitals of interior Sindh.Objective: To identify the perception of residents towards learning environment in surgical theatre of a medical school teaching hospital of interior Sindh.Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Peoples Medical College, Nawabshah, from May 2018 to October 2018. STEEM questionnaire of 40 statements was used and was validated after pilot study. The participants' responses were calculated using a five-point Likert scale. Randomized sampling technique was used. The reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha for the whole questionnaire. Mann-Whitney and the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests were used as nonparametric methods for comparative statistics for assessing gender differences. We also conducted the factor analysis by using a varimax rotation. Kaiser-Mayer-Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett's tests were applied.Results: Of the 88 participants, 71.6% (n=63) were females and 28.4% (n=25) were males. Majority of participants 43% belong to gynaecology department. The reliability of the scale was 0.822, calculated using Cronbach alpha. The mean overall STEEM score was 108.81 whereas, mean score of males was 115.44 and females was 106.17 which shows there the difference between scores based on gender. Male perceived the educational environment more positive than females in each subscale.Conclusion: Under current circumstances and condition of interior Sindh postgraduate trainees are deprived from good mentorship, observation and hands on skills due to lack and non-serious attitude of consultants/supervisors. The current study concluded that overall learning environment of operating theatre was perceived to be inadequate for learning.
