How Do Psychiatry Residents View Their Training in Spain? A Mixed-Method Survey.
Article in Actas espanolas de psiquiatria, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEfforts to improve psychiatry training must incorporate residents' assessment of their training. This study sought to collect the opinion of residents about the program that has been in force in Spain since 2008, until the current transition to a new plan.
methodsThe authors conducted an online survey of psychiatry residents in Spain, asking about their formative and working conditions. Based on previous research and the national training programme, it was distributed electronically to resident representatives of the National Board of Psychiatry. This descriptive, cross-sectional study used a mixed-methods (quantitative and qualitative) approach, following standard procedures for data analysis.
resultsA total of 109 residents from 67 training units responded to the survey. The average score for satisfaction with their training was 6.84 (standard deviation (SE) = 2.4; the maximum possible score was 10). Psychotherapy was considered the area with the greatest need for improvement, while the rotations that participants would most like to be extended were child psychiatry and addictions. It was reported that rotation durations established by the national programme were not fulfilled in 38.5% of cases, while the required direct supervision for first-year residents was not fulfilled in 77.1% of cases. Regarding working conditions, 47.7% of the residents reported that they exceeded the maximum working time established by European law.
conclusionsPsychiatry residents in Spain perceive certain areas of their training as deficient, especially those related to psychotherapy and clinical supervision, and they consider that their working time is excessive. The approval of the new training programme opens up an interesting opportunity for improvement.
