The authors sought to evaluate a formal mentorship program for second-year psychiatry residents at the University of Toronto after the program's first year of implementation.
Ten mentees and ten faculty mentors were interviewed by fellow second-year residents and an independent researcher, respectively, about their experiences in the program. Interview data were thematically coded and analyzed using a grounded theory approach.
Three major themes were identified. First, participants emphasized the importance of a natural, flexible, and engaging matching process for mentors and mentees. Many experienced the random assignment approach to matching and the mandatory nature of the program as barriers to developing a meaningful relationship with their mentors. Second, participants expressed a preference for geographic proximity between mentor and mentee workplaces and for meetings to take place in informal settings in order to improve the quality and quantity of their interactions. Lastly, participants felt that clear directions and expectations about the program's goals should be communicated, and that a forum for information sharing among mentors was needed.
Overall, the majority of participants believed that the program facilitated growth and development and provided positive opportunities for both mentors and mentees. While challenges were present in the program, participants provided tangible recommendations to improve the process.
作者试图在多伦多大学针对二年级精神病学住院医师的正式导师计划实施的第一年之后对其进行评估。
分别由同为二年级的住院医师和一名独立研究人员对10名学员和10名教员导师就他们在该计划中的经历进行访谈。访谈数据采用扎根理论方法进行主题编码和分析。
确定了三个主要主题。首先，参与者强调了为导师和学员建立自然、灵活且引人入胜的匹配过程的重要性。许多人将随机分配的匹配方式以及该计划的强制性视为与导师建立有意义关系的障碍。其次，参与者表示倾向于导师和学员工作场所在地理位置上接近，以及会议在非正式场合举行，以提高互动的质量和数量。最后，参与者认为应该传达关于该计划目标的明确指示和期望，并且需要一个导师之间信息共享的论坛。
总体而言，大多数参与者认为该计划促进了成长和发展，并为导师和学员都提供了积极的机会。虽然该计划存在挑战，但参与者提出了切实可行的建议以改进这一过程。
