To measure trainees' exposure to negative and positive role-modeling for responding to medical errors and to examine the association between that exposure and trainees' attitudes and behaviors regarding error disclosure.
Between May 2011 and June 2012, 435 residents at two large academic medical centers and 1,187 medical students from seven U.S. medical schools received anonymous, electronic questionnaires. The questionnaire asked respondents about (1) experiences with errors, (2) training for responding to errors, (3) behaviors related to error disclosure, (4) exposure to role-modeling for responding to errors, and (5) attitudes regarding disclosure. Using multivariate regression, the authors analyzed whether frequency of exposure to negative and positive role-modeling independently predicted two primary outcomes: (1) attitudes regarding disclosure and (2) nontransparent behavior in response to a harmful error.
The response rate was 55% (884/1,622). Training on how to respond to errors had the largest independent, positive effect on attitudes (standardized effect estimate, 0.32, P < .001); negative role-modeling had the largest independent, negative effect (standardized effect estimate, -0.26, P < .001). Positive role-modeling had a positive effect on attitudes (standardized effect estimate, 0.26, P < .001). Exposure to negative role-modeling was independently associated with an increased likelihood of trainees' nontransparent behavior in response to an error (OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.15-1.64; P < .001).
Exposure to role-modeling predicts trainees' attitudes and behavior regarding the disclosure of harmful errors. Negative role models may be a significant impediment to disclosure among trainees.
衡量受训者在应对医疗失误方面的负面和正面榜样的接触程度,并研究这种接触与受训者在错误披露方面的态度和行为之间的关联。
2011 年 5 月至 2012 年 6 月,来自两家大型学术医疗中心的 435 名住院医师和来自美国七所医学院的 1187 名医学生收到了匿名电子问卷。问卷询问了受访者有关以下方面的问题:(1)失误经历,(2)应对失误的培训,(3)与错误披露相关的行为,(4)应对失误的榜样暴露情况,以及(5)披露态度。作者使用多元回归分析方法,分析了负面和正面榜样的暴露频率是否独立预测两个主要结果:(1)披露态度,以及(2)对有害错误的非透明行为。
回应率为 55%(884/1622)。关于如何应对错误的培训对态度有最大的独立正向影响(标准化效应估计值,0.32,P<.001);负面榜样的影响最大(标准化效应估计值,-0.26,P<.001)。正面榜样对态度有正向影响(标准化效应估计值,0.26,P<.001)。接触负面榜样与受训者在错误回应中更有可能采取非透明行为有关(OR 1.37,95%CI 1.15-1.64;P<.001)。
榜样的接触预测了受训者在披露有害错误方面的态度和行为。负面榜样可能是阻碍受训者披露的一个重要因素。
