| description | Introduction: Postgraduate teaching involves training
the residents in all spheres including professionalism,
communication and interpersonal skills in addition to the basic
clinical skills. Therefore, 360 degree evaluation has gained
focus due to increased standards of medical care as shown in
this study.
Aim: To evaluate interpersonal and communication skills
and professionalism in residents doctors using 360 degree
evaluation method.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a descriptive
study conducted at a tertiary care hospital affiliated with a
medical college. Taking up as a pilot project, 26 residents from
four departments were recruited in this study. A five point likert
scale (1 to 5,1 meaning poor, 5 meaning excellent) was used
for scoring them on for their interpersonal and communication
skills and professionalism by the persons working around
their sphere like teachers, peers, nursing staff, undergraduate
students and patients/or relatives (360 degree).
Results: Though the ratings by the peers and consultants
were found to be slightly lower compared with nursing staff,
undergraduate students and patients, there was good agreement
between all of them. The mean score of all traits showed an
increasing trend over the years of residency.
Conclusion: Regular orientation programs for professionalism
with 360 degree evaluation and subsequent feedback to the
resident doctor about their strength and weaknesses can
definitely bring out behavioural change in the resident doctor
in practice. |
