ESQUIVEL, Daniela Arroyo; YAZIGI, Latife  and  NOGUEIRA-MARTINS, Luiz Antonio. Rorschach and Medical Residency: prospective study with Orthopedic and Traumatology residents. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.20, n.2, pp.209-219. ISSN 1677-0471.  https://doi.org/10.15689/ap.2021.2002.21099.09.

The aim was to identify and compare the presence of emotional difficulties during the orthopedic residency period of professional medical training. This prospective study included 13 male residents, with a mean age of 26 years. The Rorschach (SC) instrument was applied in the 1^st month of R1 (T0), after 12 months of R1 (T2) and after 9 months of R3 (T3). There were high amounts of MOR responses at T0, which decreased markedly over time (T3). The FD and S variables showed a minimal decrease from T0 to T3, however, increased significantly at T2. The residents began R1 presenting self-deprecating components, which dissipated over time, with the maintenance of self-inspection and self-burdening as traits. The medical residency program does not appear to be harmful, however, it may be a source of emotional vulnerability, especially during the first year due to the inexperience and the pace and intensity of the medical tasks.
