Summary
Trainee doctors in German general practices are often involved in student supervision, with both trainees and their supervisors seeing benefits. However, structured support and recognition are needed to improve teaching inclusion and acceptance.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- General Practice Training
- Qualitative Research
Background:
- Teaching by trainee doctors is common in English-speaking countries' general practices.
- This study investigates trainee doctor involvement in student supervision within German general practices.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the extent of trainee doctor involvement in supervising students in German general practices.
- To assess the acceptance of trainee doctors as teachers from the perspectives of physicians with a license for post-graduate training (PLT) and the trainee doctors themselves.
Main Methods:
- Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 9 PLTs and 9 trainees.
- The Theoretical Framework of Acceptance guided the interview development.
- Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using Kuckartz's qualitative analysis.
Main Results:
- Trainee doctors participate in student supervision to varying degrees, often in unstructured ways.
- Advantages of trainee supervision include closer hierarchy, up-to-date knowledge, and role modeling.
- Challenges include professional uncertainty, knowledge gaps, and time constraints; better planning and preparation are suggested.
- Both trainees and PLTs view teaching as part of the GP profession but perceive a potential obligation to teach as a hindrance.
Conclusions:
- Inclusion of trainee doctors in student teaching is frequent, indicating high acceptance, but implementation is inconsistent.
- Structured organization, didactic qualifications, and teaching credits could enhance inclusion and acceptance.

32.8K
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One...
