The purpose of this study was to determine if the level of servant leader characteristics in clinically practicing physician assistants (PAs) in underserved populations differed from PAs serving in other locales.
Five subscales of servant leadership: altruistic calling, emotional healing, wisdom, persuasive mapping, and organizational stewardship, were measured in a quantitative study of clinically practicing PAs using a self-rating survey and a similar survey by others rating the PA.
Of 777 PAs invited, 321 completed the survey. On a scale of 1 to 5, mean PA self-ratings ranged from 3.52 (persuasive mapping) to 4.05 (wisdom). Other raters' scores paired with the self-rated PA scores were comparable in all subscales except wisdom, which was rated higher by the other raters (4.32 by other raters, 4.01 by PAs, P= .002). There was no significant difference in the measures of servant leadership reported by PAs serving the underserved compared to PAs serving in other populations. Servant leader subscales were higher for PAs compared to previous studies of other health care or community leader populations.
The results found that the PA population studied had a prominent level of servant leadership characteristics that did not differ between those working with underserved and nonunderserved populations.
本研究旨在确定在服务欠缺人群中临床执业的医师助理（PA）的仆人式领导特征水平是否与在其他地区服务的PA有所不同。
通过自我评分调查以及他人对PA进行评分的类似调查，对临床执业PA进行定量研究，测量仆人式领导的五个子量表：利他使命、情感治愈、智慧、劝导式规划和组织管理。
在受邀的777名PA中，321人完成了调查。在1至5分的量表上，PA的自我评分均值范围为3.52（劝导式规划）至4.05（智慧）。除智慧子量表外，其他评分者与PA自我评分配对的分数在所有子量表中均具有可比性，在智慧子量表中，其他评分者的评分更高（其他评分者为4.32，PA为4.01，P = .002）。与服务于其他人群的PA相比，服务欠缺人群的PA在仆人式领导测量方面没有显著差异。与之前对其他医疗保健或社区领导者人群的研究相比，PA的仆人式领导子量表得分更高。
结果发现，所研究的PA人群具有显著水平的仆人式领导特征，在服务欠缺人群和非服务欠缺人群中工作的PA之间没有差异。
