Compassionate Behavior of Clinical Faculty: Associations with Role Modelling and Gender Specific Differences.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

For future doctors, learning compassion skills is heavily dependent on female and male faculty's role modelling in practice. As such, more insight into the relationships between faculty's compassionate behavior, faculty gender and role modelling is needed.

Methods

In this cross-sectional survey, we analyzed 12416 resident evaluations of 2399 faculty members across 22 Dutch hospitals. The predictor variables were: observed compassionate behavior, faculty gender (reference category: female), and an interaction term between those two. Our outcome variables were: person, teacher and physician role model. All variables, except for faculty gender, were scored on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 "totally disagree" to 7 "totally agree".
