  • Title: Determinants of resident satisfaction with patients in their continuity clinic.
    Author: Barnett DR, Bass PF, Griffith CH, Caudill TS, Wilson JF.
    Journal: J Gen Intern Med; 2004 May; 19(5 Pt 1):456-9. PubMed ID: 15109344.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to identify what patient and physician factors influence resident satisfaction with patient encounters in a continuity clinic setting. Resident satisfaction was assessed from postencounter questionnaires completed by 68 internal medicine residents regarding 979 patient encounters. We found that residents were more satisfied with patients diagnosed with general medical problems than with patients diagnosed with pain and psychiatric disorders. First-year residents were less satisfied with patients diagnosed with pain and psychiatric disorders than second- and third-year residents. However, this dissatisfaction with seeing patients with pain or psychiatric disorders lessened as continuity of care was enhanced.
