CLIP THINKING IN ANESTHESIOLOGY: THE PARADOX OF MODERNITY
An analysis was made of 1,156 anonymous questionnaires of 3-4th year students, residents of the 1st year of study and doctors in the specialties «Anesthesiology» and «Children’s Anesthesiology» of cycles of specialization and advanced training The test method proposed by MB Litvinova was used. It is characterized by criteria and categorical validity. Unexpected results were obtained in research groups of anesthetists with 5–20 years of work experience, which was manifested by more than a twofold increase in clip thinking compared to those in interns. So far, we have not found such dynamics of the progress of the phenomenon in any of the groups of medical professionals. The same tendency, to a slightly lesser extent, was discovered by us among pediatric anesthetists. A significant increase in the number of carriers of clip thinking in the anesthetic environment is explained by professional regularity and multifunctionality of narrow specialization (if information fragments refer to the whole, this means that clip thinking becomes symbolic).
