Interest and motivation of medical pediatric residents in the pedagogical process of teaching: preceptors' perception/Interesse e motivação dos médicos pediátricos residentes no processo pedagógico de ensino: a percepção dos preceptores/Interés y motivación de los residentes de medicina pediátrica em el proceso pedagógico de la enseñanza: la percepción de los preceptores

Although many say that the resident doctor has no interest in the activities developed during the medical residency in Pediatrics, this does not seem to be true, especially when it comes to secondary and tertiary care. The objective was to evaluate the preceptors' perception about Pediatric medical residents' interest and motivation in the teaching process. This is a cross-sectional study using a semi-structured interview with preceptors in Pediatrics. This study included 40 (67,8%) of 59 preceptors, 80,0% women, mean age 45,3[+ or -]12,5years, permanence in the Program 11,9[+ or -]10,9 years, 18 (45,0%) with [less than or equal to]5 years as preceptor; 18 (45,0%) reported no teacher training; 18 (45,0%) deliver/discuss syllabus. Most stress-generating rotations were urgency/emergency, pediatric intensive care unit, hospital shifts and clinical case presentations. For 8 (20.0%) preceptors, the resident physician presents a lower interest in attending the Program; 31 (77,5%) greater interest in practical activities; 18 (45,0%) reported interest and motivation for theoretical-practical contents. In those with time [less than or equal to] 5years, 6 (33,3%) reported lack of enthusiasm; in the group > 5years, 2 (9,1%) reported lack of enthusiasm (p=0,057). For motivation, in both groups [less than or equal to]5years (16,7%) and >5years (13,6%), 3 reported lower motivation (p=0,789).In conclusion, receptors acknowledge that residency in medical education is important, but it is also stress-inducing. Accordingly, it is necessary to consider on the pursuit for modern teaching processes, allowing training, professional and personal growth, with prevention of organic and emotional dysfunctions, enhancing interest and motivation for the teaching process.
