Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Resident adaptation during the transition to residency (TTR) depends on both individual and organizational strategies. Tailoring support to individual needs, balancing autonomy and structure, is key for successful TTR and enhanced training.
Area Of Science
- Medical Education
- Healthcare Professional Training
- Organizational Psychology
Background
- The transition to residency (TTR) presents learning opportunities and challenges.
- Preparation courses exist, but TTR success also depends on organizational factors.
- Individual and organizational strategies for adaptation during TTR are under-explored.
Purpose Of The Study
- To explore residents' individual strategies for adapting to residency.
- To investigate residents' experiences with organizational strategies supporting adaptation.
- To understand the interplay between individual and organizational factors in TTR.
Main Methods
- Template analysis of interview transcripts from 16 second-year residents.
- Utilized Organizational Socialization theory to categorize strategies.
- Identified individual and organizational strategies influencing residents' adaptation.
Main Results
- Residents used 5 individual strategies: observing, asking questions, social relationships, seeking information, and learning tasks/behaviors.
- 6 organizational strategies were identified via Organizational Socialization theory (e.g., collective-individual, formal-informal, sequential-random).
- Factors like social relationships and training program structure influenced TTR, with varied resident perceptions on strategy effectiveness.
Conclusions
- TTR is a dynamic process involving individual and organizational strategies, extending Organizational Socialization theory.
- Resident perceptions of adaptation strategies differ, highlighting the need for personalized support.
- Residency programs should customize support, balancing autonomy and structure for improved TTR and training outcomes.

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...
There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.
In 2011, the New York Times published a feature story on Krista and Tatiana Hogan, Canadian twin girls. These particular twins are unique because Krista and Tatiana are conjoined twins, connected at the head. There is evidence that the two girls are connected in a part of the brain called the thalamus, which is a...
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.
Surveys allow researchers to gather data from larger samples than may be afforded by...
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...
Coping strategies are methods people use to manage, tolerate, or reduce the effects of stressors. These strategies involve both behavioral and psychological actions to handle stressful situations. One common approach is problem-focused coping, which aims to change or eliminate the source of stress rather than merely addressing its consequences. This method involves taking direct action to resolve the issue causing stress.
For example, consider a student who struggles to understand their...
