Abstract

Purpose: Here we aimed to define the prevalence of imposter syndrome (IS) and identify associated characteristics in Chinese medical students and residents enrolled at Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH).

Methods: This was a single-center, cross-sectional study of medical students and residents enrolled at PUMCH conducted in September and October 2022. Participants were recruited to complete a 37-question survey on demographics, a Chinese version of the Clance Imposter Phenomenon Scale (CIPS), and self-assessments of anxiety, depression, burnout, sleep quality, challenges of clinical learning, and time allocation. IS prevalence and its associated factors were analyzed.

Results: One hundred and forty-eight medical students and 89 residents completed the survey. IS was significant or severe in 62.8% of medical students and 57.2% of residents. Students enrolled in the eight-year program had significantly higher CIPS scores than those enrolled in the 4 + 4 program (66.4 vs. 60.7, p = .005). There were no gender differences in IS prevalence and severity. Participants with severe IS had significantly higher self-rated anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout than participants with mild/moderate IS. Participants significantly challenged by clinical learning had significantly higher CIPS scores.

Conclusions: IS is both prevalent and severe in Chinese medical students and residents. Classroom learning, an eight-year program, and being challenged by clinical learning are potentially associated with IS.

冒名顶替综合征在中国医学生和住院医师中的患病率及相关因素：一项单中心试点研究。

目的：我们旨在确定北京协和医院（PUMCH）在读中国医学生和住院医师冒名顶替综合征（IS）的患病率，并识别相关特征：这是一项单中心横断面研究，研究对象是2022年9月至10月就读于北京协和医院的医学生和住院医师。受试者需完成37个问题的调查，包括人口统计学、中文版克兰斯假冒现象量表（CIPS）以及焦虑、抑郁、职业倦怠、睡眠质量、临床学习挑战和时间分配等方面的自我评估。对IS的发生率及其相关因素进行了分析：148名医学生和89名住院医师完成了调查。62.8%的医学生和57.2%的住院医师存在明显或严重的IS。参加八年制项目的学生的 CIPS 分数明显高于参加 4+4 项目的学生（66.4 vs. 60.7，p = .005）。IS的发生率和严重程度没有性别差异。与轻度/中度 IS 参与者相比，重度 IS 参与者的自我焦虑、抑郁、失眠和职业倦怠程度明显更高。受到临床学习严重挑战的参与者的 CIPS 分数明显更高：结论：IS在中国医学生和住院医师中既普遍又严重。结论：IS在中国医学生和住院医师中既普遍又严重，课堂学习、八年课程和临床学习挑战可能与IS有关。

期刊介绍： Medical Teacher provides accounts of new teaching methods, guidance on structuring courses and assessing achievement, and serves as a forum for communication between medical teachers and those involved in general education. In particular, the journal recognizes the problems teachers have in keeping up-to-date with the developments in educational methods that lead to more effective teaching and learning at a time when the content of the curriculum—from medical procedures to policy changes in health care provision—is also changing. The journal features reports of innovation and research in medical education, case studies, survey articles, practical guidelines, reviews of current literature and book reviews. All articles are peer reviewed.
