BARRAGAN-HERVELLA, Rodolfo G. et al. Study habits and academic performance in residents of orthopedics and family medicine. Rev. med. Hosp. Gen. Méx. [online]. 2023, vol.86, n.1, pp.4-11. Epub 12-Jun-2023. ISSN 2524-177X. https://doi.org/10.24875/hgmx.22000047.
Objective:
To evaluate the study habits in the academic performance of residents of the specialties of Orthopaedics and Trauma (OT) and Family Medicine (MF).
Methods:
An observational study was carried out with OT and MF medical residents. An online survey was applied to them, with response options on the Likert scale, to evaluate study habits. For the statistical analysis, measures of central tendency and dispersion were used, as well as correlations, P < 0.05.
Results:
A sample of 112 participants. 51% of participants were male. Mean age of 30.1±3. 75% of participants were single. 84.8% study one hour. 84.8% of respondents answered that they were pursuing the specialty they wanted. 80.4% always or constantly understand what they read. 45.5% of participants draw diagrams or charts. Writing summaries (82.1%) is the most used technique for memorisation. 93.7% always or constantly attend classes on a regular basis. 94.6% of participants strongly agree or agree that study habits can influence academic performance. 58% presented regular habits, 22% good habits and 18% bad habits. It was found that there is a correlation between age and average academic performance (P = 0.016).
Conclusions:
Age and marital status had a direct association with academic performance. Most of the residents are satisfied with the specialty they are studying. Memorisation and writing summaries are the most used study habits. In general, residents have regular study habits.
