Drawing from a sample of 437 medical postgraduates from three Chinese universities, our findings revealed that challenge stressors positively correlated with innovative behavior, while the direct relationship between hindrance stressors and innovative behavior was not statistically significant. Furthermore, academic engagement mediated the relationship between two types of stressors and innovative behavior. Challenge stressors enhanced academic engagement, which in turn fostered innovative behavior. Conversely, hindrance stressors were found to diminish academic engagement, which in turn indirectly limited innovative behavior. Additionally, relaxation was identified as a moderating factor that helped mitigate the negative effects of hindrance stressors on academic engagement and indirectly on innovative behavior. These results suggested that academic engagement as a mechanism played a pivotal role in determining how different stressors influenced innovative behavior, underscoring the need for stress management, particularly through relaxation techniques, to maintain high levels of academic engagement and innovative behavior. This study offers practical insights for medical education policymakers and educators in China, emphasizing the importance of balancing stressors and incorporating relaxation practices to enhance the innovative capabilities of medical postgraduates in demanding academic environments.</p>","PeriodicalId":47656,"journal":{"name":"Medical Education Online","volume":"29 1","pages":"2379110"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11257006/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141628029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to assess the impact of an interprofessional continuity clinic teamwork curriculum on perceptions of team development and patient safety. This project was conducted in an IM Resident Continuity Clinic where 96 residents, supported by 28 faculty and 48 interprofessional team members, attended continuity clinic two afternoons per week during alternating months of a 50/50 outpatient-inpatient training model. Teams were configured into two groups of residents, faculty and interprofessional team members. The randomly selected intervention group participated in strategically-timed TeamSTEPPS training. The control group received usual clinic education. Teamwork and safety climate were measured using the Team Development Measure (TDM) and Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) collected before and after the intervention. Following the teamwork curriculum, team development improved in the intervention group as compared to control [mean change (95% CI) +13.9 (+9.3, +18.6) versus + 4.8 (+0.4, +9.1), <i>p</i> = 0.007]. Though 30% of the individual items on the SAQ improved significantly in the faculty intervention group as compared to control, the overall improvement in SAQ [intervention mean change + 0.4 (+0.2, +0.5), control mean change + 0.2 (-0.1, +0.5)] was not statistically significant (<i>p</i> = 0.36). It is feasible to implement a TeamSTEPPs-based interprofessional teamwork curriculum among IM residents in a block clinic model and achieve enhanced teamwork and safety attitudes.

All medical clinical teachers begin their careers as medical students, often without knowing exactly how they will learn to teach. Kilminster and Jolly identified three primary functions of clinical supervisors including clinical teaching, support and guidance, and work supervision. Therefore, we designed a study using questionnaires to assess the three factors of clinical educators for past supervised experiences, including 'being instructed,' 'being supported,' and 'being supervised,' based on Kilminster and Jolly's illustration in 2000, to see the relationship between the three factors mentioned above.MATERIALS AND METHODSThe study started with a literature review to construct the essential items regarding past supervised experiences of physicians as clinical teachers. We invited 10 experts from fields including medical education and experienced clinical teachers to assess the content validity. One hundred physicians in teaching hospitals were sampled for the preliminary test. Another 364 physicians in teaching hospitals were sampled for the formal study of confirmatory factor analysis and pathway analysis.RESULTSThe\" Past Supervised Experiences with Educational Roles Scale\" showed satisfying reliability with all Cronbach's α values exceeding .80, and three factors from supervised experiences were identified, including 'being supported,' 'being instructed,' and 'being supervised.' In our model, the 'being supported' experience could positively affect 'being supervised' with significance, directly and indirectly, by being instructed.CONCLUSIONSOur study developed a validated instrument that allows investigation of the formation of better-supervised experiences from current physicians. Our findings inspired us to focus more on supportive coaching in teaching and supervising medical trainees. Our study indicated that faculty development for skills of supporting students is crucial to effective clinical teaching and supervision.","PeriodicalId":47656,"journal":{"name":"Medical Education Online","volume":"21 1","pages":"2405473"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142266776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have shown good internal and external validity for tools designed to measure this variable, with potential use measuring the effectiveness of clinical teaching environments and as a marker of student wellbeing. This study examined changes in belongingness in medical students at the University of Exeter measured in spring 2019 and the equivalent period in 2021, during which COVID-19 related restrictions were in place in the United Kingdom. This study used a validated assessment tool that was self-administered via an online survey platform in 2021. Anonymised data was collected from undergraduate medical students from all years of training and results compared with previous data collected in 2019. The belongingness assessment tool described here had validity in undergraduate medical students studying at the University of Exeter and identified statistically significant changes in belongingness (as measured with this tool) between 2019 and the period during which COVID-19 restrictions were in place. These results suggest that belongingness - in undergraduate medical students fluctuates and varies under different conditions and that there was a statistically significant change during the period of lockdown restrictions. The ability to measure this key facet of educational development has the potential to monitor teaching environments to ensure optimal learning conditions for all students. Further work is required to assess whether the impacts of lockdown restrictions are transient or persist beyond the period of teaching restrictions and to determine any association with academic outcomes.","PeriodicalId":47656,"journal":{"name":"Medical Education Online","volume":"77 1","pages":"2403807"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142266775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
