摘要
简介对于未来的医生来说,同情心技能的学习在很大程度上取决于男女教师在实践中的榜样作用。因此,我们需要更深入地了解教师的同情心行为、教师性别和榜样作用之间的关系:在这项横断面调查中,我们分析了荷兰 22 家医院的 12416 名住院医师对 2399 名教师的评价。预测变量包括:观察到的同情行为、教师性别(参考类别:女性)以及两者之间的交互项。结果变量包括:个人、教师和医生榜样。除教师性别外,所有变量均采用李克特 7 点量表评分,从 1 分 "完全不同意 "到 7 分 "完全同意":结果:在观察到的同情行为方面,女性教员的得分(M = 6.2,SD = 0.7)略高于男性教员(M = 5.9,SD = 0.6),但差异显著。观察到的同情行为与被视为模范教师(b = 0.695; 95% CI = 0.623 - 0.767)、模范医生(b = 0.657; 95% CI = 0.598 - 0.716)和模范人物(b = 0.714; 95% CI = 0.653 - 0.775)呈显著正相关。男性性别与榜样教师(b = -0.847;95% CI = -1.431 -0.262)、医生(b = -0.630,95% CI = -1.111 -0.149)和个人(b = -0.601,95% CI = -1.099 -0.103)呈显著负相关。交互项显示,榜样教师(b = 0.157,95% CI = 0.061 - 0.767)、医生(b = 0.116,95% CI = 0.037 - 0.194)和个人(b = 0.102,95% CI = 0.021 - 0.183)之间存在明显的正相关关系:荷兰住院医师普遍观察到他们的教员对病人和家属富有同情心,教员的同情心行为与被视为榜样有关。然而,与女性教员相比,男性教员更能从表现出的同情心中获益,因为这对其感知到的榜样地位有更大的积极影响。
Compassionate Behavior of Clinical Faculty: Associations with Role Modelling and Gender Specific Differences.
Introduction: For future doctors, learning compassion skills is heavily dependent on female and male faculty's role modelling in practice. As such, more insight into the relationships between faculty's compassionate behavior, faculty gender and role modelling is needed.
Methods: In this cross-sectional survey, we analyzed 12416 resident evaluations of 2399 faculty members across 22 Dutch hospitals. The predictor variables were: observed compassionate behavior, faculty gender (reference category: female), and an interaction term between those two. Our outcome variables were: person, teacher and physician role model. All variables, except for faculty gender, were scored on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 "totally disagree" to 7 "totally agree".
Results: Female faculty scored slightly but significantly higher (M = 6.2, SD = 0.7) than male faculty (M = 5.9, SD = 0.6) on observed compassionate behavior. Observed compassionate behavior was significantly positively associated with being seen as a role model teacher (b = 0.695; 95% CI = 0.623 - 0.767), physician (b = 0.657; 95% CI = 0.598 - 0.716) and person (b = 0.714; 95% CI = 0.653 - 0.775). Male gender showed significant negative associations with role model teacher (b = -0.847; 95% CI = -1.431 - -0.262), physician (b = -0.630, 95% CI = -1.111 - -0.149) and person (b = -0.601, 95% CI = -1.099 - -0.103). The interaction term showed positive significant associations with role model teacher (b = 0.157, 95% CI = 0.061 - 0.767), physician (b = 0.116, 95% CI = 0.037 - 0.194) and person (b = 0.102, 95% CI = 0.021 - 0.183).
Discussion: Dutch residents, in general, observed their faculty to be compassionate towards patients and families and faculty's observed compassionate behavior is related to being seen as a role model. However, male faculty benefit more from demonstrating compassion, as it has a greater positive influence on their perceived role model status compared to female faculty.
期刊介绍:
Perspectives on Medical Education mission is support and enrich collaborative scholarship between education researchers and clinical educators, and to advance new knowledge regarding clinical education practices.
Official journal of the The Netherlands Association of Medical Education (NVMO).
Perspectives on Medical Education is a non-profit Open Access journal with no charges for authors to submit or publish an article, and the full text of all articles is freely available immediately upon publication, thanks to the sponsorship of The Netherlands Association for Medical Education.
Perspectives on Medical Education is highly visible thanks to its unrestricted online access policy.
Perspectives on Medical Education positions itself at the dynamic intersection of educational research and clinical education. While other journals in the health professional education domain orient predominantly to education researchers or to clinical educators, Perspectives positions itself at the collaborative interface between these perspectives. This unique positioning reflects the journal’s mission to support and enrich collaborative scholarship between education researchers and clinical educators, and to advance new knowledge regarding clinical education practices. Reflecting this mission, the journal both welcomes original research papers arising from scholarly collaborations among clinicians, teachers and researchers and papers providing resources to develop the community’s ability to conduct such collaborative research. The journal’s audience includes researchers and practitioners: researchers who wish to explore challenging questions of health professions education and clinical teachers who wish to both advance their practice and envision for themselves a collaborative role in scholarly educational innovation. This audience of researchers, clinicians and educators is both international and interdisciplinary.
The journal has a long history. In 1982, the journal was founded by the Dutch Association for Medical Education, as a Dutch language journal (Netherlands Journal of Medical Education). As a Dutch journal it fuelled educational research and innovation in the Netherlands. It is one of the factors for the Dutch success in medical education. In 2012, it widened its scope, transforming into an international English language journal. The journal swiftly became international in all aspects: the readers, authors, reviewers and editorial board members.
The editorial board members represent the different parental disciplines in the field of medical education, e.g. clinicians, social scientists, biomedical scientists, statisticians and linguists. Several of them are leading scholars. Three of the editors are in the top ten of most cited authors in the medical education field. Two editors were awarded the Karolinska Institute Prize for Research. Presently, Erik Driessen leads the journal as Editor in Chief.
Perspectives on Medical Education is highly visible thanks to its unrestricted online access policy. It is sponsored by theThe Netherlands Association of Medical Education and offers free manuscript submission.
