Abstract (481 Views)
Aims: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms in pediatric residents, evaluate their perceptions of the clinical learning environment, and examine the influence of this environment on psychological symptoms.
Instrument & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted involving 66 pediatric residents at Dr. Soetomo Academic General Hospital. Depression and anxiety symptoms were evaluated using the validated Indonesian versions of the Beck Depression Inventory-II and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, respectively. Perceptions of the clinical learning environment were assessed through the Postgraduate Hospital Educational Environment Measure. Data analysis included linear regression and mediation analysis using the Sobel test.
Findings: A total of 6 residents (9.1%) reported symptoms of depression, 8 residents (12.1%) reported symptoms of anxiety, and 4 residents (6.1%) experienced both. Residents’ perceptions of the clinical learning environment were generally positive. The perception of social support within the clinical learning environment significantly influenced depression symptoms (p=0.024). However, the residents’ perception of the clinical learning environment did not significantly affect anxiety symptoms. Additionally, the perception of social support significantly influenced anxiety symptoms indirectly through depression as a mediating factor (p=0.04).
Conclusion: The perception of social support within the clinical learning environment has a significant direct influence on depression symptoms and an indirect influence on anxiety through the mediation of depression symptoms.
