Abstract
Objective: To examine the frequency with which obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) residents experience critical incidents (CIs) during residency and participate in postincident debriefing.
Methods: A survey was conducted to examine the frequency of CIs during training, abilities of residents to cope with CIs, and the impact of postincident debriefing.
Results: Among the 27 residents who responded (93.1%), 82.6% reported involvement in one ormore CIs during residency. There was a statistically significant difference in the cumulative number of CIs experienced when stratified by level of training. Following a CI, 39.2% of residents reported having an opportunity to debrief and only 30.4% "always" had enough support to cope. Among those who had debriefed, 100% felt that it had helped them to process the incident.
Conclusion: OBGYN residents frequently experience CIs during their training years. Postincident debriefing is not the norm but is desired and may help residents process difficult clinical situations.
期刊介绍：
The Connecticut State Medical Society (CSMS) is a federation of eight component county medical associations, with a total membership exceeding 7,000 physicians. CSMS itself is a constituent state entity of the American Medical Association. Founded by the physician-patriots of the American Revolution, the Society operates from a heritage of democratic principles embodied in its Charter and Bylaws. The base of all authority in CSMS is, of course, the individual physician member. It is the decisions of members in their own county associations that ultimately determine the nature of the Society"s policies and activities.
