Challenges, opportunities, strengths, and weaknesses of the internship model in teaching the bachelors of anesthesiology internship course: a qualitative content analysis study.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundBesides providing health services to the public, medical universities also shoulder the important task of educating and training skilled and specialized human resources required by different sectors of society. This necessitates that medical education follow a model that can include the role of professional competence and education in promoting health, so that students from different medical science groups can deal with societal issues and accept their real responsibility for improving the health of their community. One of these ways is to train undergraduate students in anesthesiology through an internship. The aim of this study is to explain the strengths, weaknesses, challenges, and opportunities of this educational plan.
methodsIn this qualitative content analysis conducted based on SWOT theory, six faculty instructors, anesthesiologists, non-faculty instructors, operating room head nurses, and undergraduate students in the field of anesthesiology were selected based on the entry criteria. Then, questions were asked from them based on the aforementioned theory, and after extracting the codes, classification was performed according to the Graneheim & Lundman approach.
resultsFrom the analysis of the findings, four subcategories of strengths, weaknesses, challenges, and opportunities were obtained, which were in the management and executive domains. The most repeated code in its strengths was improving the student’s relationship with the surgical team and reducing their anxiety. The most repeated code in its weaknesses was using the student as an instrument and avoiding scientific work.
conclusionsThe results obtained indicate that in addition to its significant strengths, this plan has also weaknesses that can be improved by eliminating them and carrying out corrective processes. Meanwhile, the professional qualifications and abilities of students in the clinical field can be improved, and the shortage of human resources in the clinical field can be reduced.
