This study was designed to test whether belonging to a counselling supervision group reduces the anxiety of doctors when dealing with emotionally distressed patients.
Identical questionnaires were distributed to the counselling supervision group (the study group) and a matched control group in March and August 1997. Respondents were asked to rate their perceived level of anxiety when faced with nine clinical scenarios and their overall anxiety when dealing with emotionally distressed patients. The results were then compared.
The study group showed generally higher levels of anxiety than controls in the first questionnaire. There was a shift to lower reported levels of anxiety in the study group at the end of the supervision process. No similar change was observed in the control group.
Although sample size was too small to apply tests of statistical significance, it would appear that belonging to a counselling supervision group may reduce the anxiety of doctors dealing with emotionally distressed patients.
本研究旨在测试加入咨询督导小组是否能降低医生在面对情绪困扰患者时的焦虑。
1997年3月和8月，向咨询督导小组（研究组）和一个匹配的对照组发放了相同的问卷。要求受访者对面对九种临床场景时所感知的焦虑程度以及处理情绪困扰患者时的总体焦虑程度进行评分。然后对结果进行比较。
在第一份问卷中，研究组的焦虑水平总体上高于对照组。在督导过程结束时，研究组报告的焦虑水平有所下降。对照组未观察到类似变化。
尽管样本量过小无法进行统计学显著性检验，但似乎加入咨询督导小组可能会降低医生在处理情绪困扰患者时的焦虑。
