dc.description.abstractThe perception of academic mistreatment among medical students is associated with burnout, emotional disorders, and poorer professional performance. Conversely, a positive environment that promotes respectful teaching can enhance empathy, reduce burnout, and increase student satisfaction. This study examines perceptions of respectful teaching and its associations with demographic and academic characteristics among medical students in Chile. Aim: To evaluate perceptions of respectful teaching among medical students in Chile and their relationship with sociodemographic, academic, and personal satisfaction factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted across six Chilean universities, involving 443 medical students. We used the Good Teaching Practices Questionnaire (40 items in 9 dimensions) and tools for sociodemographic characterization and academic satisfaction. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, reliability coefficients, Spearman correlations, and ANOVA, with significance set at p<0.05. Results: Younger students, those in earlier years, or those recently admitted reported better perceptions of respectful teaching (p<0.05). Men perceived greater support in flexible planning, feedback, and concern for students (p<0.01). Theoretical and synchronous courses were associated with better perceptions of class agility and teaching passion (p<0.001). The highest-rated dimension was subject mastery (Md= 4.00), while concern for students received the lowest score (Md= 3.00). Conclusion: Higher life satisfaction and work-life balance levels are related to respectful teaching. Differences between universities and demographic groups highlight the need for inclusive institutional policies and faculty training to foster equitable and empathetic environments in medical education.
