FARFAN ROJAS, Patricia et al. Impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on a group of Rheumatology trainees of Argentina. Rev. argent. reumatolg. [online]. 2022, vol.33, n.3, pp.151-157. ISSN 0327-4411. http://dx.doi.org/10.47196/rar.v33i3.678.
Introduction:
in 2020, the rapid evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic triggered a health emergency, generating an important heath system reorganization which led to the discontinuation and subsequent adaptation of training systems. The objective was to describe the pandemic impact on a group of rheumatology trainees in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Materials and methods:
an online survey was sent through e-mail to rheumatology specialist course trainees of Argentine Society of Rheumatology and University of Buenos Aires. It included 24 close-ended questions about the pandemic impact on different aspects of rheumatology training and the new implemented educational response strategies.
Results:
from 114 trainees contacted, 79 (69.3%) responded. Approximately 90% indicated that their rheumatology training was affected. Forty-six percent thought that medical practice and academic activity were equally affected and 45% that only medical practice was compromised. About 50% reported that they had to perform tasks unrelated to their training. Fifty-seven percent discontinued temporarily the training site attendance. Participants reported a mean reduction of 55% (SD 18.6) of activities related to patient care.
Conclusions:
the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic affected rheumatology trainees, by limiting their practical and academics activities, and having to perform tasks unrelated to their training in more than a half.
