Enhancing psychiatry education: effectiveness of a psychodynamic psychotherapy module for borderline personality disorder for psychiatry residents
To develop and evaluate the effectiveness of psychodynamic psychotherapy learning modules for borderline personality disorder (BPD) among Indonesian psychiatry residents.
Approach:
Study Design: A quasi-experimental pre-/post-test control group study using mixed methods was conducted across nine psychiatric residency programs in Indonesia.
Participants: Thirty-four residents were recruited, with 33 completing the study.
Assessment Tools: Learning outcomes were assessed using multiple-choice questions, the Psychodynamic Formulation Competency Assessment Scale (PF-CAS), and the Practical Competency Assessment Scale (PC-CAS).
Evaluation Method: Participants evaluated the module using the Indonesian version of the Kirkpatrick Level 1 questionnaire.
Key Findings:
The intervention group showed significantly greater improvement in psychodynamic formulation skills (PF-CAS) compared to the control group (p < 0.001).
Multiple-choice scores improved in both groups, with no significant between-group differences.
The intervention group showed a numerically greater improvement in Practical Skills (PC-CAS) than the control group, though not statistically significant.
Participants provided highly positive feedback on the usefulness of psychodynamic formulation training, psychotherapy protocols, and supervision.
Interpretation:
The implementation of the psychodynamic psychotherapy for BPD Learning Module enhanced competencies in cognitive and affective domains.
Conclusion:
The positive reception of the module highlights its feasibility as part of the residency training curriculum.
