Best Worst Scaling

BACKGROUND Burnout interventions are limited by low utilization. Understanding resident physician preferences for burnout interventions may increase utilization and improve assessment of interventions. OBJECTIVE An econometric best-worst scaling (BWS) framework was used to survey internal medicine resident physicians to establish help-seeking preferences for burnout and barriers to utilizing wellness supports. METHODS Internal medicine resident physicians at our institution completed an anonymous online BWS survey during the 2020-2021 academic year. This cross-sectional study was analyzed with multinomial logistic regression and latent class modeling to determine relative rank-ordering of factors for seeking support for burnout and barriers to utilizing wellness supports. ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey HSD was used to analyze differences in mean utility scores representing choice for barriers and support options. RESULTS 77 residents completed the survey (47% response rate). Top-ranking factors for seeking wellness supports were seeking informal peer support (best: 71%/worst: 0.6%) and support from friends and family (best: 70%/worst: 1.6%). Top-ranking barriers to seeking counseling were time (best: 75%/worst: 5%) and money (best: 35%/worst: 21%). Latent class analysis identified two segments, a Formal Help-Seeking group (n=6) that preferred seeking therapy as their 2nd-ranking factor (best: 63%/worst: 0%), and an Open to Isolating group (n=20) that preferred to not seek support from others as their 3rd ranking factor (best: 14%/worst: 18%). CONCLUSIONS Overall, resident physicians reported high preference for informal peer support, though there exists a segment that prefer counseling services and a segment that prefers not to seek help at all. Time and cost are more significant barriers compared to stigma against utilizing wellness supports. Using BWS-informed studies are a promising and easy-to-administer methodology for clinician wellness programs to gather specific information on clinician preferences to determine best practices for wellness programs.

Aim: To determine if differences in self-reported pharmacogenomics knowledge, skills and perceptions exist between internal medicine residents and attending physicians. Materials & methods: Forty-six internal medicine residents and 54 attending physicians completed surveys. Thirteen participated in focus groups to explore themes emerging from the surveys. Results: Resident physicians reported a greater amount of pharmacogenomics training compared with attending physicians (48 vs 13%, p < 0.00012). No differences were found in self-reported knowledge, skills and perceptions. Conclusion: Both groups expressed pharmacogenomics was relevant to their current clinical practice; they should be able to provide information to patients and use to guide prescribing, but lacked sufficient education to be able to do so effectively. Practical approaches are needed to teach pharmacogenomics concepts and address point-of-care gaps.
