Abstract

Purpose: Mentorship has many notable benefits. Research about mentorship for physician associates/assistants (PAs) is limited. This study sought to uncover more detailed information on mentorship and its effect on PAs.

Methods: A survey was sent via email to all PAs and advanced practice registered nurses at our institution. Subgroup analysis was performed on PA respondents, including satisfaction and independent predictors associated with mentorship.

Results: Of the 295 PAs, 63 (21.4%) identified having a mentor. Those with a mentor were statistically more likely to function as a mentor (OR 2.7 [95% CI 1.5-4.9], P = .001), have an academic rank of assistant professor or higher (OR 2.7 [95% CI 1.3-5.5], P = .007), be under age 45 years (OR 6.1 [95% CI 2.1-17.4], P = .008), be less than 10 years into their career (OR 3.1 [95% CI 1.7-5.7], P = .002), and be satisfied with mentorship (88.9% versus 23.9%, P < .001).

Conclusions: Mentorship for PAs is crucial and can boost academic promotion and career satisfaction.

学术医疗中心及其医疗保健系统对助理医师的指导效果。

目的：导师制有许多显著的好处。有关医生助理/助手（PAs）导师制的研究十分有限。本研究试图揭示有关导师制及其对助理医师影响的更多详细信息：通过电子邮件向本机构的所有 PA 和高级执业注册护士发送了一份调查问卷。对助理医师受访者进行了分组分析，包括满意度和与指导相关的独立预测因素：在 295 名助理医师中，有 63 人（21.4%）表示自己有导师。据统计，有导师的人更有可能担任导师（OR 2.7 [95% CI 1.5-4.9]，P = .001），学术级别为助理教授或更高（OR 2.7 [95% CI 1.3-5.5]，P = .007），年龄在 45 岁以下（OR 6.1 [95% CI 2.1-17.4]，P = .008），职业生涯不到 10 年（OR 3.1 [95% CI 1.7-5.7]，P = .002），对导师的指导感到满意（88.9% 对 23.9%，P < .001）：结论：对助理医师的指导至关重要，可促进学术晋升和职业满意度。
