Abstract
BACKGROUND
Previous work has demonstrated that residents are able to accurately perceive the intraoperative motivational style of faculty. Additionally, alignment of motivational style between residents and faculty has been demonstrated to enhance resident intraoperative autonomy. This study evaluated if faculty perception of resident behaviors aligned with resident self-perception in order to identify ways of enhancing intraoperative learning.
METHODS
General surgery residents were asked to complete a self-assessment evaluating their own intraoperative behaviors. Conversely, faculty rated how strongly the residents exhibited these behaviors in the operating room.
RESULTS
Of the 10 intraoperative behaviors that were evaluated, eight demonstrated no correlation between resident self-perception and faculty perception of resident behavior. Similarly, inconsistent correlations emerged when behaviors were assessed according to the self-reported gender and race of the resident.
CONCLUSION
Faculty are not able to accurately perceive the motivational style of residents. Strategies to improve faculty perception of resident motivational style may enhance intraoperative learning.
