Luo M, Pang J, Xie S, Xu H, Yan J. A study of the correlation between residents' humanistic care skills and their level of emotional intelligence-A cross-sectional survey. BMC MEDICAL EDUCATION 2024; 24:1136. [PMID: 39402556 PMCID: PMC11472458 DOI: 10.1186/s12909-024-06097-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2024] [Indexed: 10/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is variability in the structure of junior doctors' knowledge of humanistic medicine. The level of residents' emotional intelligence affects their professional development and the doctor-patient relationship. Currently, there is a paucity of research examining the humanistic competence and emotional intelligence of medical residents, both domestically and internationally.The primary objective of this study was to scrutinize the prevailing status of residents' humanistic competence and emotional intelligence levels, aiming to assess the correlation between humanistic competence and emotional intelligence. METHODS A cross-sectional survey using the Demographic Characteristics Questionnaire, the Humanistic Care Competence Scale, and the Emotional Intelligence Scale was conducted in September 2022 among residents of a tertiary general hospital in Sichuan Province. The relationship between humanistic care competence scores and emotional intelligence scores among residents was analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. RESULTS The mean score of residents' humanistic care competence was 188.82 ± 20.80, and the mean score of emotional intelligence was 87.08 ± 13.49.The Pearson correlation results demonstrated a significant correlation (r = 0.400, p = 0.000) between the level of emotional intelligence and humanistic care competence. The results of multiple linear regression analysis indicated that self-emotional appraisal, emotional appraisal of others, emotional control, emotional use, and school community work experience independently predicted humanistic care competence. CONCLUSION The scores for residents' humanistic care competence were notably low, influenced by a multitude of factors that also exhibited varying levels of impact on emotional intelligence development. Emotional intelligence was positively associated with humanistic care competence. Emotional intelligence is an important consideration in the development, implementation, and evaluation of humanistic care interventions. Residency programs should provide education and training in humanistic competencies to improve residents' levels of emotional intelligence and promote the overall health of society.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the satisfaction levels of graduate residents in Guizhou Province and analyse the factors influencing their satisfaction. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a simple random sampling method with all graduate residents from 24 hospitals in Guizhou Province. The survey covered the residents' demographic information, information about the training hospitals and satisfaction survey responses. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 29.0, including descriptive statistics using component ratios, binomial distribution tests for specific satisfaction situations, X 2 tests for between-group comparisons and binary logistic regression analyses to analyse the associations between residency satisfaction and related factors. The significance level was set at α=0.05. RESULTS The survey included 1070 graduate residents of Guizhou Province, China, including 500 males (46.7%) and 570 females (53.3%). The satisfaction questionnaire revealed that 23.8% were very satisfied; 45.4% were somewhat satisfied; and 26.4%, 2.3% and 2.1% were average, somewhat dissatisfied and very dissatisfied, respectively. Factors influencing residency satisfaction included gender, age, training base level, identity type, training participation year and average monthly income. CONCLUSION Based on this study, the satisfaction of graduate residents in Guizhou Province, China, is relatively lower than that in other countries and provinces. Therefore, Guizhou Province should take appropriate measures to address these influencing factors and enhance residency training satisfaction, thereby improving the residency training quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have shown that the obstetrics and gynecology residents face severe burnout and a large number of stressors, and excessive stress could adversely affect performance and quality of patient care. Thus, the current study attempts to identify and prioritize the stressors of obstetrics and gynecology residents at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 62 residents and faculty members in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in 2022. Respondents were selected by census method. The stressors of obstetrics and gynecology residents were investigated using a researcher-made, 37-item questionnaire. The questionnaire was prepared based on a literature review and respondents' opinions, then its validity and reliability were confirmed. Collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 20, non-parametric Friedman's test, and descriptive statistics methods. RESULT This study included 46 respondents (74%), 16 faculty members, and 30 residents, who were asked to rate each stressor of the given questionnaire. The residents and their teachers believed that the main stressors were heavy workloads, lack of personal time, long shifts, financial problems, sleep deprivation, and compassion fatigue. Insufficient study time, study workload, and inappropriate assessment systems for residents were among the high-priority stressors, according to the residents. However, the faculty members reported medical errors, unreasonable expectations from residents, and residents' multiple responsibilities as high-priority stressors. According to the Friedman's test, there was a significant difference in rates received from both the faculty members and medical residents (P value <0/001). CONCLUSION The stressors due to the nature of obstetrics and gynecology, medical care, residency training, and medical resident assessment are the highest priority. The findings of this study could be beneficial to the officials in residency training programs to take the necessary corrective actions.

Abstract
Background: Vancomycin-associated acute kidney injury (VA-AKI) is a recognizable condition with known risk factors. However, the use of vancomycin in clinical practices in China is distinct from other countries. We conducted this longitudinal study to show the characteristics of VA-AKI and how to manage it in clinical practice. Patients and Methods: We included patients admitted to hospital, who received vancomycin therapy between January 1, 2016 and June 2019. VA-AKI was defined as a patient having developed AKI during vancomycin therapy or within 48 h following the withdrawal of vancomycin therapy. Results: A total of 3719 patients from 7058 possible participants were included in the study. 998 patients were excluded because of lacking of serum creatinine measurement. The incidence of VA-AKI was 14.3%. Only 32.3% (963/2990) of recommended patients performed therapeutic drug monitoring of vancomycin. Patients with VA-AKI were more likely to concomitant administration of cephalosporin (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.08–2.21, p = 0.017), carbapenems (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.11–1.91, p = 0.006) and piperacillin-tazobactam (OR 3.12, 95% CI 1.50–6.49, p = 0.002). Full renal recovery (OR 0.208, p = 0.005) was independent protective factors for mortality. Compared with acute kidney injury stage 1, AKI stage 2 (OR 2.174, p = 0.005) and AKI stage 3 (OR 2.210, p = 0.005) were independent risk factors for fail to full renal recovery. Conclusion: Lack of a serum creatinine measurement for the diagnosis of AKI and lack of standardization of vancomycin therapeutic drug monitoring should be improved. Patient concomitant with piperacillin-tazobactam are at higher risk. Full renal recovery was associated with a significantly reduced morality.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify the factors influencing inpatient satisfaction by fitting the optimal discriminant model. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cross-sectional survey of inpatient satisfaction was conducted with 3888 patients in 16 large public hospitals in Zhejiang Province. Independent variables were screened by single-factor analysis, and the importance of all variables was comprehensively evaluated. The relationship between patients' overall satisfaction and influencing factors was established, the relative risk was evaluated by marginal benefit, and the optimal model was fitted using the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS Patients' overall satisfaction was 79.73%. The five most influential factors on inpatient satisfaction, in this order, were: patients' right to know, timely nursing response, satisfaction with medical staff service, integrity of medical staff, and accuracy of diagnosis. The prediction accuracy of the random forest model was higher than that of the multiple logistic regression and naive Bayesian models. CONCLUSION Inpatient satisfaction is related to healthcare quality, diagnosis, and treatment process. Rapid identification and active improvement of the factors affecting patient satisfaction can reduce public hospital operating costs and improve patient experiences and the efficiency of health resource allocation. Public hospitals should strengthen the exchange of medical information between doctors and patients, shorten waiting time, and improve the level of medical technology, service attitude, and transparency of information disclosure.

An Observation of a Resident-as-Teacher Combined with Tutor Guided Hysteroscopy Teaching Program for Standardized Residency Training (SRT) in Obstetrics and Gynecology. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2020; 2020:8855099. [PMID: 32802301 PMCID: PMC7414364 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8855099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2020] [Revised: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Objectives The standardized residency training (SRT) program in China is an important link for continuing education and clinical work training for graduate students. The purpose of our study was to enable educators to maintain the effectiveness of hysteroscopy teaching techniques and make the standardized residency training students well experienced in surgery, thus demonstrating that higher efficiency of teaching can lead to better proficiency for surgery. Methods We generated resident-as-teacher teaching round and tutor guided hysteroscopic surgery as well as a questionnaire based on the mastery degree of the basic theoretical knowledge and operational skills of hysteroscopy among seven junior residents and five senior residents of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, including four attending gynecologic surgeons of a hysteroscopy teaching program. Results Senior residents felt confident to teach, while junior residents learned effectively through the teaching round. There were statistically significant differences in the whole operation time and the volume of distension fluid used between junior and senior residents (p < 0.05). Conclusions This study acknowledges the need for new approaches to medical education for better characterization of the link between the use of teaching rounds through problem-based learning (PBL) discussion dominated by the residents themselves and overall surgical skills of teaching and learning.

Abstract
This study is aimed at evaluating the outcomes of mind-body transformation therapy (MBT-T), previously known as the creative psychosocial genomic healing experience© (CPGHE). The intervention was aimed at reducing the perceived level of stress in two non-clinical groups of students with different educational levels and different expertise in the domain of well-being. Whereas participants from the first group were first-year university students, participants from the second group were students attending a post-graduate program in psychotherapy. All participants (n = 159) were exposed to a single session of MBT-T, each group in a separate session. The results of two paired-samples t-tests, conducted separately on the two samples, showed that there was a statistically significant reduction in the participants' perceived level of stress between pre- and post-intervention states in both samples (t88 = 5.39, p < 0.001; t53 = 4.56, p < 0.001 respectively). The results, therefore, showed that a single session of MBT-T was beneficial in reducing the perceived level of stress in both first-year university students and students attending a post-graduate program in psychotherapy, regardless of educational level and expertise in the domain of well-being.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A simulation and model (SM) teaching aid using 3D printing was developed to improve a training course for total hip arthroplasty of adult developmental dysplasia of the hip (adult DDH-THA). We named this new method Surgery Simulation Teaching based on a Real Reconstruction Aid (RRA-SST). A prospective randomized comparison was performed with the traditional surgical live teaching method to evaluate the training effectiveness of RRA-SST for adult DDH-THA. METHODS Twenty-six trainees, who were already practicing but were not experienced, participated in the study. We randomly divided the trainees into two groups: Group A (n = 13) received RRA-SST and group B (n = 13) received traditional surgical live teaching. A surgery simulation test and a questionnaire were used for evaluation. Next, each group received training with the other teaching method, and then the test and questionnaire were used again for evaluation. RESULTS After the first test, the RRA-SST method was shown to produce better results than the traditional surgical live teaching method. After the second test, the results showed the training effect in both groups reached the same level, which was level as Group A RRA-SST results. Analysis of the questionnaire results showed that the training effect of RRA-SST was higher than that of traditional surgical live teaching, from multiple perspectives. CONCLUSIONS The use of RRA-SST improved participant performance according to simulation assessment. RRA-SST can be helpful for trainees who are already practicing but not experienced when developing proficiency in adult DDH-THA surgical techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the amount and sources of stress in dental undergraduate students in Fujian, China, and the factors associated with stress. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted during the second semester of the 2017-2018 academic year at the School of Stomatology, Fujian Medical University, China. A total of 396 students were surveyed with the Dental Environment Stress Questionnaire (DES) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) using an online survey system. The participants' demographic information, including sex, age, year of study, and grade point average (GPA) was also collected. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to compare the stress scores. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to explore the associated factors of stress and academic performance. All statistical analyses were performed at a significance level of 5%. RESULTS A total of 347 undergraduate students participated in the present study, for a response rate of 87.6%. There were no significant differences in the DES and PSS total scores among students of different grades and sexes. Significant differences were found in the DES "workload" and "self-efficacy beliefs" scores among students from different study years (all P < 0.05). The Multiple linear regression showed that DES and PSS scores were negatively correlated with GPA, while sex was positively correlated with GPA (all P < 0.05). Female students had significantly higher GPAs than male students. CONCLUSIONS Dental undergraduates in Fujian, China experienced moderate levels of stress. While the amount of stress did not differ by year of study, the sources of stress did differ. Stress scores and sex were negatively correlated with academic performance.
