ABSTRACT

Introduction: Surgical rotations of medical students are physically, emotionally, and intellectually demanding. Energy expenditure throughout a shift, lack of sleep and inadequate nutrition affect student’s performance.Objective: The aim of this study is to describe and analyze caloric intake and energy expenditure during a 24-hour shift in medical students during a clinical surgical rotation. Materials and Methods: Twenty-three medical students wore a smart armband during a 24-hour shift to register energy expenditure physical activity, along reports of meals and food intake. Results: Median energetic expenditure was of 3666 kcal/day while intake was of 1384 kcal/day, averaging a deficit of 2374 kcal. Students slept a median of 0 minutes and walked 9252 steps. Discussion and Conclusion: These parameters should be considered when designing clinical rotations to provide quality service to patients and ensure the well-being of students.
