Medical trainees fear disclosing psychological distress and rarely seek help. Social sharing of difficult experiences can reduce stress and burnout. Drawing comics is one way that has been used to help trainees express themselves. The authors explore reasons why some medical trainees chose to draw comics depicting stressful situations that they had never shared with anyone before.
Trainees participated in a comic drawing session on stressors in medicine. Participants were asked if they had ever shared the drawn situation with anyone. Participants who had not previously shared were asked what prevented them and why they shared it now. The authors performed content analysis of the responses.
Of two hundred forty participants, forty-six (19.2%) indicated sharing an experience for the first time. Analysis of the responses revealed dedicated time and space was essential to sharing, trainee insecurity was a barrier, and comics were perceived as a safe way to communicate.
Depicting a stressful situation may be beneficial for trainees who drew an experience they had never shared before. Providing trainees with the opportunity to externalize their experience and create a community for sharing tough experiences may be one way to reduce trainee stress and burnout.
医学受训者害怕透露心理困扰，很少寻求帮助。分享困难经历可以减轻压力和倦怠。画漫画是帮助受训者表达自己的一种方式。作者探讨了为什么有些医学受训者选择画漫画来描述他们以前从未与任何人分享过的压力情况。
受训者参加了一次关于医学压力源的漫画创作会议。与会者被问到他们是否曾与任何人分享过所画的情况。那些以前没有分享过的参与者被问到是什么阻止了他们，以及为什么现在要分享。作者对这些回答进行了内容分析。
在 240 名参与者中，有 46 人（19.2%）表示首次分享了一次经历。对回答的分析表明，专门的时间和空间对于分享至关重要，学员的不安全感是一个障碍，漫画被认为是一种安全的沟通方式。
描绘一种压力情况可能对那些画了以前从未分享过的经历的受训者有益。为受训者提供机会将他们的经历外化，并为分享艰难经历创造一个社区，可能是减轻受训者压力和倦怠的一种方式。
