Association of off-the-job training with work performance and work-family conflict among physicians: a cross-sectional study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To determine whether experiences of off-the-job training in domestic (DT) and overseas study (OS) settings are associated with work performance and work-family conflict in physicians.

Design, setting and participants

We conducted a national cross-sectional survey in 77 public hospitals across seven provinces in China between July 2014 and April 2015. Participants were 3182 physicians.

Exposure

Participants were categorised into four groups: none, DT only, OS only and DT and OS.

Primary outcome measures

Work performance was assessed by work engagement, career attrition and patient-centred care. Work-family conflict was assessed by affecting care for family, feeling guilty towards family and receiving complaints from family.
