Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Nursing Practice
  • Graduate Medical Education

Background:

  • Nurses and resident physicians collaborate daily but may lack understanding of residency training.
  • Misconceptions among nurses regarding resident physicians' roles and working conditions can impact interprofessional collaboration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and address misconceptions held by nurses about resident physicians.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention in improving nurses' knowledge of resident physicians.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 26 nurses participated in a lecture on resident physicians.
  • Identical pre- and post-intervention surveys assessed knowledge regarding resident credentials, challenges, and work environment.
  • Survey data analyzed for changes in correct responses, particularly concerning intern status, work hours, salary, and paid time off (PTO).

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements were observed in nurses' understanding of key aspects of residency training post-intervention.
  • Correct identification of interns as doctors increased from 15% to 77%.
  • Knowledge of resident work hours improved from 23% to 65%, average salary from 39% to 92%, and PTO days from 8% to 85%.
  • Nurses initially overestimated resident salaries and underestimated work hours and PTO.

Conclusions:

  • An educational intervention effectively improved nurses' knowledge of resident physicians' credentials, challenges, and work environment.
  • Addressing misconceptions enhances interprofessional understanding and collaboration between nurses and resident physicians.
