Zusammenfassung

Die ärztliche Betreuung auf einer Intensivstation erfordert ein breites Grundlagenwissen sowie handwerkliche Fähigkeiten. Über die Ausbildung im Bereich der internistischen Intensivmedizin in Deutschland gibt es bislang nur wenige Daten. Anhand eines Fragebogens wurden Stationsärzte internistischer Intensivstationen über verschiedene Aspekte der lokalen Ausbildungsmodalitäten und über die Zufriedenheit mit der Ausbildung befragt. Von den 300 versendeten Fragebögen konnten 106 (35%) zur Analyse herangezogen werden. Führend zeigte sich das Selbststudium mittels Fachliteratur. Generell verteilt sich die Ausbildung abhängig von verschieden Bereichen auf das gesamte Team der Intensivstation. Insgesamt wird die intensivmedizinische Ausbildung von den Befragten als gut bewertet und 56% von ihnen streben die Zusatzbezeichnung „Intensivmedizin“ an. Wünschenswert wäre eine größere Erhebung z. B. im Rahmen der durch die Ärztekammern durchgeführten Weiterbildungsbefragung.

Abstract

Working on an intensive care unit (ICU) requires a broad medical knowledge as well as safe execution of practical medical procedures. As yet there are no data available on the education and training in German ICUs. Using a questionnaire ICU ward physicians were surveyed over various aspects of the local training modalities and their satisfaction with the education in local ICUs. Of the 300 dispatched questionnaires 106 (35%) could be included in the analysis. The results of the survey revealed that the mainstay of training and education was mainly self-instruction using medical textbooks. Depending on different fields of intensive care medicine education is provided by the whole ICU-team. The training in intensive care medicine was rated as good by the majority of respondents and 56% plan to become qualified for the subspeciality intensive care medicine. A larger collective would be desirable, e.g. in a further education survey accomplished by the respective medical associations.
