目的:传统期刊俱乐部已被证明不足以提高居民的学术生产力,通常是由于无法维持居民的兴趣和参与。此外,2019年新型冠状病毒(COVID-19)大流行限制导致各住院医师项目的学术生产率下降。我们通过比较COVID-19大流行期间期刊咖啡馆成员和非成员之间的学术产出,评估了由居民领导的研究俱乐部“期刊咖啡馆”对居民学术生产力的影响。
方法:杂志咖啡厅由亚特兰大大学住院医师计划的内科医师于2012/2013学年成立,格鲁吉亚,促进居民之间基于学术研究共同利益的自主合作。杂志咖啡厅独立于居住计划的杂志俱乐部运行。我们将我们机构的IM居民分为期刊咖啡馆成员和非成员,并在住院医师培训和COVID-19大流行期间收集了他们的研究生产率数据。这项调查是在2021年4月至6月间进行的,并分析了使用频率呈现的数据,tables,和适当的图表。
结果:68位居民(29位杂志咖啡馆成员和39位非会员)完成了调查(回复率为85%)。有更多的期刊咖啡馆成员报告有五个或更多的研究出版物(55.1%对7.1%,P<.001)和科学演示(48.3%vs2.6%,P<.001)与非成员相比。此外,与非会员相比,更多的期刊咖啡馆会员在同行评审期刊上发表了与COVID-19相关的研究(68%对32%,n=19)。最后,大多数居民引用了一个平台的机会来分享和集思广益的研究想法作为加入杂志咖啡馆的原因。
结论:我们发现期刊咖啡馆的参与与学术活动的增加之间存在关联,特别是在COVID-19大流行期间。由居民计划支持的独立居民主导的研究俱乐部可以补充传统的期刊俱乐部,并增强居民对研究的参与。
OBJECTIVE: Traditional journal clubs have been shown to be insufficient in improving residents\' scholarly productivity, often due to the inability to sustain residents\' interest and participation. Additionally, the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic restrictions caused a decline in academic scholarly productivity across residency programs. We evaluated the impact of a resident-led research club called \'journal café\' on residents\' scholarly productivity by comparing scholarly output between the journal café members and non-members during the COVID-19 pandemic.
METHODS: The journal café was established in the 2012/2013 academic year by internal medicine residents of a university residency program in Atlanta, Georgia, to foster self-directed collaboration among residents based on shared interests in academic research. The journal café runs independently of the residency program\'s journal club. We categorized IM residents at our institution into journal café members and non-members and collected data on their research productivity during residency training and the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey was conducted between April and June 2021 and analyzed data presented using frequencies, tables, and appropriate charts.
RESULTS: Sixty-eight residents (29 journal café members and 39 non-members) completed the survey (response rate of 85%). A significantly higher number of journal café members reported having five or more research publications (55.1% vs 7.1%, P < .001) and scientific presentations (48.3% vs 2.6%, P < .001) compared with non-members. Additionally, more journal café members published COVID-19-related research in peer-reviewed journals compared with non-members (68% vs 32%, n = 19). Finally, most of the residents cited the opportunity of a platform to share and brainstorm on research ideas as the reason for joining the journal café.
CONCLUSIONS: We found an association between journal café participation and increased scholarly activity, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Independent resident-led research clubs supported by the residency program may complement the traditional journal clubs and enhance residents\' participation in research.
