Preparedness for practice is crucial to ensure that medical interns are adequately equipped with the skills required to be safe medical practitioners. Recent data shows there is an increasing rate of medical interns whose internship programme was extended. One of the reasons was unsatisfactory work performance. The objectives of this study were to assess the score of preparedness of medical interns for practice, to determine the proportion of unsatisfactory work performance among medical interns and its predictors. This study was a prospective cohort study conducted among 524 medical interns. Subjects were selected from 10 Malaysian hospitals gazetted for internship using cluster random sampling. Medical interns who reported from January to April 2020 were invited to answer an online self-administered questionnaire through Google Form which consisted of background information, Preparedness for Hospital Practice questionnaire (PHPQ), Connor-Davidson Resilience scale 10 (CD-RISC 10), USM emotional intelligence inventory (USMEQ-i), Duke University Religion Index (DUREL) and Brief-COPE inventory. The respondents were followed up after one year of their internship to assess their work performance. Extension or quitting from the internship programme was considered as unsatisfactory work performance. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine the significance predictors for unsatisfactory work performance. The mean (SD) for preparedness for practice among medical interns was 3.70 (0.58). The proportion of unsatisfactory work performance was 6.7% (CI: 4.0%, 9.0%). The significant predictors for unsatisfactory work performance were preparedness in interpersonal skills (Adj OR : 0.52; 95% CI : 0.31, 0.85) and avoidant coping style (Adj OR : 2.53; 95% CI: 1.26, 5.08). This study showed that the score of preparedness for practice of medical interns was higher compared with previous studies. The proportion of medical interns with unsatisfactory performance had reduced compared to previous studies. Interpersonal skills predict a lower odds for unsatisfactory work performance while avoidant coping style predicts a higher odds for unsatisfactory work performance among medical interns in Malaysia. Further study may need to be done on the role of interpersonal skills and coping styles on the quality of work performance among medical interns in Malaysia.

summary Medical internship is a stressful period that a doctor has to go through. Preparedness for practice is crucial to ensure that medical interns are adequately equipped with the skills required to be safe medical practitioners. Recent data shows there is an increasing rate of medical interns whose internship programme was extended. One of the reasons was unsatisfactory work performance. The objectives of this study were to assess the score of preparedness of medical interns for practice, to determine the proportion of unsatisfactory work performance among medical interns and its predictors. This study was a prospective cohort study conducted among 524 medical interns. Subjects were selected from 10 Malaysian hospitals gazetted for internship using cluster random sampling.
