Cultural content consumption among medical residents: a survey
Year: 2026
Type: study-registration
Abstract: This project aims to evaluate the frequency of cultural content consumption among medical residents and investigate its association with sociodemographic, economic, and training-related characteristics, as well as residents' perceptions of the personal and professional impact of artistic activities. This cross-sectional observational survey will be conducted among residents from surgical and non-surgical residency programs at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP). Data will be collected through a self-administered electronic questionnaire assessing cultural consumption habits, interest in artistic activities, and perceived influence of cultural engagement on personal well-being and professional practice. The study seeks to provide evidence regarding cultural engagement during medical training, particularly in the context of demanding residency programs, and to explore potential differences between surgical and non-surgical specialties. Findings may contribute to discussions on medical humanities, resident well-being, empathy development, and educational strategies aimed at promoting a more humanistic approach to medical practice.
