好奇心是推动学习和探索的人类基本特质。然而,关于好奇心的研究在医学领域很少受到关注,尽管它有增强知识获取的潜力,工作表现,和社会心理健康。这项研究旨在通过调查医生对他们的好奇心及其在专业实践和医学培训中的作用的个人经历的看法来解决这一差距的一部分。
■这项定性研究是由海德堡大学医学院的12名医生进行的。通过电子邮件随机联系参与者并邀请他们参与研究。数据是通过2019年9月至2020年2月的半结构化访谈收集的。作者采用了Mayring\的方法,这表示一种定性的内容分析方法,其特征是分析文本数据的系统和规则指导方法,旨在提取有意义的见解和模式或主题。确定的主题与总体类别相关联,以从数据中得出结论。
■受访者强调了关于好奇心重要性的三个主要领域[1]:作为(终身)教育的驱动力[2],在建立善解人意的医患关系中,[3]作为优秀研究者的核心素质。他们主要把好奇心和积极的情绪联系起来,虽然好奇心的不表达与不满有关,无聊,和疲惫。诸如繁重的工作量等因素,时间限制,压力,缺乏自主性抑制了他们的好奇心,虽然活动多种多样,与同事进行专业交流,和暴露于新的挑战促进它。内科医生对倦怠和好奇心之间联系的看法并不一致。有趣的是,一些人认为好奇心是对倦怠的保护,而其他人则认为过度的好奇心是沮丧和倦怠的潜在根源。
■这项研究是首次尝试探索医生对医学好奇心的看法。研究结果强调了好奇心在塑造医学专业精神和改善患者护理方面的潜在重要性。然而,医生面临的挑战性工作条件阻碍了它的追求,表明需要加强支持和种植。
医生认为好奇心是增加他们与医学知识接触的一个重要因素。改善病人护理,培养善解人意的医患关系。时间限制和压力等外部因素成为医生好奇心的主要障碍,强调解决系统性挑战以支持好奇心的重要性。医生对好奇心之间的关系表达了细微差别的观点,幸福和倦怠,这表明需要进行更深入的调查。
UNASSIGNED: Curiosity is a fundamental human trait that drives learning and exploration. However, research on curiosity has received little attention in the medical field, despite its potential to enhance knowledge acquisition, work performance, and psychosocial well-being. This study aimed to address part of this gap by investigating physicians\' perspectives on their personal experiences with curiosity and its role in their professional practice and medical training.
UNASSIGNED: This qualitative study was conducted with 12 physicians from the University of Heidelberg Medical Hospital. Participants were contacted randomly via email and invited to participate in the study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews between September 2019 and February 2020. The authors employed Mayring\'s approach, which denotes a qualitative content analysis method characterized by its systematic and rule-guided approach to analyzing textual data, aiming to extract meaningful insights and patterns or themes. The identified themes were linked to overall categories to draw conclusions from the data.
UNASSIGNED: The interviewees highlighted three main areas regarding curiosity\'s importance [1]: as a driving force for (lifelong) education [2], in building empathetic physician-patient relationships, and [3] as a core quality of a good researcher. They primarily linked curiosity with positive emotions, while the non-expression of curiosity was associated with dissatisfaction, boredom, and exhaustion. Factors such as heavy workloads, time constraints, stress, and lack of autonomy inhibit their curiosity, while varied activities, professional exchange with colleagues, and exposure to new challenges foster it. Physicians\' perspectives on the link between burnout and curiosity were not consistent. Interestingly, some viewed curiosity as protective against burnout, while others saw excessive curiosity as a potential source of frustration and burnout.
UNASSIGNED: This study represents the first attempt to explore physicians\' perspectives on curiosity in medicine. The findings highlight the potential importance of curiosity in shaping medical professionalism and improving patient care. However, its pursuit is hampered by the challenging working conditions faced by doctors, suggesting a need for enhanced support and cultivation.
Physicians identify curiosity as a significant factor in increasing their engagement with medical knowledge, improving patient care, and fostering empathetic doctor-patient relationships.External factors such as time constraints and stress emerge as predominant barriers to physician curiosity, highlighting the importance of addressing systemic challenges to support curiosity.Physicians express a nuanced view of the relationship between curiosity, well-being and burnout, suggesting the need for deeper investigation.
