EV1072 E-PosterEğitim ve EtikKesitsel çalışma # Psychiatry residents’ knowledge and attitudes toward physical health monitoring of patients prescribed antipsychotics in Pakistan KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDES OF PSYCHIATRY TRAINEES TOWARD PHYSICAL HEALTH MONITORING OF PATIENTS PRESCRIBED ANTIPSYCHOTICS IN PAKISTAN Sunan: Abdul Hameed Ülke: Ireland Kurum: MMUH Although psychiatry residents have moderate knowledge and positive attitudes toward physical health monitoring, these do not translate into practice, with the lack of structured monitoring pathways emerging as the main barrier. The study aimed to assess psychiatry residents’ knowledge and attitudes toward physical health monitoring associated with antipsychotic medications, compare these across years of training, and identify barriers to effective monitoring. A cross-sectional survey of 31 psychiatry residents was conducted via Google Forms in May 2026; ethical approval and informed consent were obtained, and the data were analyzed using SPSS with descriptive statistics, the Kruskal–Wallis H test for group comparisons, and Spearman’s correlation (rs). Of the participants, 54.8% reported strongly agreeing that monitoring was a psychiatric responsibility, but only 6.5% stated that they always completed baseline screening. Regarding confidence, 64.5% reported confidence in interpreting metabolic results, compared with only 35.5% for ECG and QTc interpretation, and the correlation between knowledge and attitudes was weak (rs = 0.171; p = 0.366). Theoretical knowledge differed significantly across years of training (H = 7.98; df = 3; p = 0.046); mean ranks were 10.50 for first-year residents (n = 11), 15.75 for second-year residents (n = 5), 17.00 for third-year residents (n = 8), and 22.21 for fourth-year and senior residents (n = 7), whereas attitudes did not differ significantly across training years (H(3) = 1.88; p = 0.599). Among perceived systemic barriers, the absence of a structured monitoring pathway or follow-up tool was reported by 17 participants (54.8%), limited access to investigations (blood tests, ECG) by 5 (16.1%), unclear division of responsibilities with primary care by 4 (12.9%), time constraints and high workload by 3 (9.7%), and a lack of guideline-based training by 2 (6.5%). In conclusion, despite relatively positive knowledge and attitudes, gaps in practice indicate a need for structured monitoring pathways, system-level support, and clinical decision support tools; all residents expressed favorable views toward structured decision support tools.
