Emotional intelligence (EI) can decrease physician burnout. EI and burnout were assessed in surgical residents through participation in Patient-Centric Resident Conferences (PCRCs), which incorporated patients in resident education. We hypothesized PCRCs would improve EI and reduce burnout.
This was a single institution study of General Surgery residents from 2018 to 2019. Residents participated in standard didactic conferences and PCRCs. The Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF) survey and an ACGME burnout survey were administered at three time points.
Higher EI scores correlated with lower burnout scores over three survey distributions (R 0.35, 0.39, and 0.68, respectively). EI and burnout scores did not change significantly over time. EI and burnout were not associated with conference attendance, meaning in work, or satisfaction with teaching.
General Surgery resident EI and burnout scores were inversely correlated. Previously, PCRCs were shown to be associated with increased resident meaning in work. The current study demonstrates PCRCs did not have a significant impact on measures of resident EI or burnout. Further research is needed for EI and burnout in surgery.
情绪智力（EI）可以降低医生的倦怠感。通过参与以患者为中心的住院医师会议（PCRC），评估外科住院医师的 EI 和倦怠感，该会议将患者纳入住院医师教育。我们假设 PCRC 会提高 EI 并减轻倦怠感。
这是一项对 2018 年至 2019 年普通外科住院医师进行的单机构研究。住院医师参加了标准的理论会议和 PCRC。在三个时间点进行了特质情绪智力问卷-短形式（TEIQue-SF）调查和 ACGME 倦怠调查。
较高的 EI 分数与三个调查分布中的较低倦怠分数相关（分别为 R 0.35、0.39 和 0.68）。EI 和倦怠感随时间变化不明显。EI 和倦怠感与会议出席情况、工作意义或教学满意度无关。
普通外科住院医师的 EI 和倦怠分数呈负相关。先前的研究表明，PCRC 与住院医师工作意义的增加有关。本研究表明，PCRC 对住院医师 EI 或倦怠感的测量没有显著影响。需要进一步研究手术中的 EI 和倦怠感。
