摘要

摘要:医生助理(PA)在美国医疗保健系统中发挥着至关重要的作用,尤其是在外科医生持续短缺和医疗保健需求不断增加的情况下。我们旨在通过将整形外科的助理医师与所有其他专科的助理医师进行比较,来描述目前整形外科助理医师队伍的特点。通过对 2022 年美国国家执业助理医师认证委员会数据集的横截面分析,我们研究了整形外科执业助理医师与所有其他专科执业助理医师的人口统计学特征和执业特征。分析包括描述性和双变量统计。2022 年,1.0% 的助理医师从事整形外科工作,该专业的人数从 2015 年(n = 647)到 2022 年(n = 1186)几乎翻了一番。对整形外科和其他领域的助理医师进行的双变量分析显示了几个重要特征(所有P均小于0.001):整形外科的助理医师更年轻(年龄中位数为36岁 vs 39岁),被认定为女性(91.0% vs 69.4%),居住在城市地区(97.6% vs 92.5%),进行临床手术的比例更高(66.5% vs 33.9%)。此外,据统计,整形外科专业助理医师的工作满意度较高,并且更有可能没有职业倦怠症状。在外科医生稀缺的情况下,助理医师职业的不断扩大为加强合作提供了理想的前景。在外科医生职业倦怠日益普遍、助理医师表示愿意发挥高级职能的时代,扩大助理医师的作用变得可取且势在必行。这种合作方式有可能解决劳动力挑战、提升患者护理水平并提高医疗服务提供者的满意度。

Physician Assistants in Plastic Surgery: A Descriptive Analysis Using the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants Dataset.

Abstract: Physician assistants (PAs) play a vital role in the US health care system, particularly amid the persistent surgeon shortage and escalating health care demands. We aim to characterize the current cohort of PAs in plastic surgery by comparing them to PAs in all other specialties. Using a cross-sectional analysis of the 2022 National Commission on Certification of PAs dataset, we examined demographic and practice characteristics of PAs in plastic surgery with those in all other specialties. Analysis included descriptive and bivariate statistics. In 2022, 1.0% of PAs worked in plastic surgery, with the specialty's numbers nearly doubling from 2015 (n = 647) to 2022 (n = 1186). Bivariate analysis among PAs in plastic surgery and those in other settings revealed several important attributes (all P's < 0.001); PAs in plastic surgery were younger (median age, 36 vs 39), identified as female (91.0% vs 69.4%), resided in urban locations (97.6% vs 92.5%), and performed a higher proportion of clinical procedures (66.5% vs 33.9%). Furthermore, a statistically significant higher percentage of PAs in plastic surgery reported high job satisfaction and was more likely to report no symptoms of professional burnout. The expanding PA profession amid the scarcity of surgeons presents an ideal prospect for enhanced collaboration. In an era where surgeon burnout is increasingly common and PAs express a readiness to function at an advanced level, expanding PAs' role becomes desirable and imperative. This collaborative approach has the potential to address workforce challenges, elevate patient care, and enhance provider satisfaction.
