    Author: Sørensen Høifødt T, Sexton H, Olstad R.
    Journal: Med Educ; 2004 Apr; 38(4):349-57. PubMed ID: 15025636.
    Abstract:
    SETTING: The clinical experience and the subjective learning of pre-registration house officers who completed 4 months' psychiatric rotation are described. METHOD: The study was cross-sectional and based on self-report. The participants had responded to an anonymous questionnaire at the completion of their 4 months' psychiatric rotation in the period 1999-2001. Of those eligible (n = 137), 85 (61%) completed the questionnaire. The relationships between individual background variables, different factors of the learning environment, and good learning outcome were explored. CONCLUSIONS: The subjective learning benefit and positive learning environment were most related to the amount of practical experience, the degree of tailoring of the tasks to the house officers' competence, and to the formal intramural teaching programme. Supervision, gender, previous experience, and prior interest in psychiatry did not have significant impact on subjective learning. The findings are discussed in terms of the learning model that was developed.
