Condiciones formativas y laborales de los profesionales sanitarios en formación de la Región de Murcia.

En este estudio se pretende analizar, por medio de un estudio descriptivo, un análisis de las condiciones laborales del personal sanitario en formación del Servicio Murciano de Salud tras la implantación de las medidas acordadas entre el Comité de Empresa y el Servicio Murciano de Salud (SMS) durante el mes de noviembre de 2020. Para ello, se han recogido un total de 284 respuestas mediante formulario directo incluyendo de forma equitativa residentes de todos los años, especialidades y Áreas dentro del SMS. Una amplia mayoría del personal en formación es conocedor del acuerdo firmado por el que se mejoran sus condiciones laborales. Destaca entre los resultados que una importante mayoría no cuenta con un lugar de descanso adecuado durante las jornadas complementarias conocidas como guardias a pesar del acuerdo firmado, así como tampoco de descanso compensatorio de 36 horas semanales. Existen mejoras poco significativas en temas de investigación, asistencia a cursos y horas de formación autónoma. Conocer la realidad en la que viven los residentes tras la firma del acuerdo sirve de base para garantizar sus derechos, y que los servicios, responsables de docencia y unidades docentes, velen por su cumplimiento y con ello se eviten situaciones como las evidenciadas durante la crisis en la Formación Sanitaria Especializada en la Región de Murcia que condujo a la convocatoria de una huelga. The aim of this study is to analyse, by means of a descriptive study, an analysis of the working conditions of healthcare staff in training in the Murcian Health Service after the implementation of the measures agreed between the Works Committee and the Murcian Health Service (SMS) during the month of November 2020. To this end, a total of 284 responses were collected by means of a direct form including residents of all years, specialities and areas within the SMS. A large majority of trainees are aware of the agreement signed to improve their working conditions. Among the results, it is worth noting that a significant majority do not have an adequate place to rest during the complementary working days known as on call, despite the agreement signed, nor do they have 36 hours of compensatory rest per week. There are insignificant improvements in terms of research, attendance at courses and hours of autonomous training. Knowing the reality in which the residents live after the signing of the agreement serves as a basis for guaranteeing their rights, and for the services, those responsible for teaching and teaching units, to ensure compliance and thus avoid situations such as those seen during the crisis in Specialised Healthcare Training in the Region of Murcia which led to the call for a strike.
