Perception and anxiet of medical students in their clinical rotation in Obstetrics during the COVID-19 pandemic
Abstract
Introduction. The COVID-19 pandemic led to clinical rotations disruption in Spain anth the resto of the world. In several colleges, students have returned to the clinical environment in the first semester of 2020/2021 academic year. We aim to evaluate the students´ perception and anxiety caused by the risk of infection by SARS-CoV-2 in their clinical rotation at the Obstetrics and Gynecology department of our Hospital. Methods. A survey was designed based on the 6-item version of de State-Trait Anxiety Inventory to assesss the students´ anxiety level at each place of rotation: delivery room, emergencies, consultations and hospitalization. Results: Participation rate was 100%. 73.69% felt quite or very safe during the rotation and 89.48% thought their learning was not reduced by the pandemic situation. The average level of anxiety shown was very low. Conclusions. Clinical rotations in a pandemic environment, with the appropriate security measures and a 1:1 student-physician ratio are possible, safe and necessary for the correct training of the medical student.
