Importance While interest in surgical coaching programs is rising, there is no objective method for selecting effective surgical coaches.

Objective To identify a quantitative measure to determine who will be an effective surgical coach.

Design, Setting, and Participants This prospective cohort study included coaches and coachees from 2 statewide peer surgical coaching programs: the Wisconsin Surgical Coaching Program and the Michigan Bariatric Surgical Collaborative coaching program. Data were collected from April 2014 to February 2018, and analysis began August 2018.

Interventions The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator was administered to coaches and coachees, and the Life Styles Inventory was administered to surgical coaches before their first coaching session.

Main Outcomes and Measures Coach performance in the first coaching session and all coaching sessions using the Wisconsin Surgical Coaching Rubric.

Results Twenty-three surgical coaches and 38 coachees combined for a total of 65 unique pairs and 106 coaching sessions. Overall, 22 of 23 coaches (96%) and 32 of 38 coachees (84%) were men. An increase in a coach’s Life Styles Inventory constructive style score correlated with an increase in overall coach performance for the first coaching session (r = 0.70; P = .002). Similarity in the coaching pair’s Myers-Briggs Type Indicator judging/perceiving dichotomy was also associated with an increase in overall coach performance for their first coaching session (β = 0.38; P = .02). When all sessions were included in the analysis, these objective measures were no longer associated with coach performance.

Conclusions and Relevance Surgeons of all personalities and thinking styles can become an effective coach with appropriate training and experience. Coach training can be tailored to support diverse behavioral styles and preferences to maximize coach effectiveness.

重要性 尽管对外科教练计划的兴趣正在上升，但没有客观的方法来选择有效的外科教练。

目的 确定量化指标，以确定谁将是一名有效的外科教练。

设计，环境和参与者 这项前瞻性队列研究包括2个全州同级外科手术教练计划的教练和受训者：威斯康星州外科手术教练计划和密歇根州肥胖外科协作计划。从2014年4月至2018年2月收集数据，分析于2018年8月开始。

干预措施 Myers-Briggs类型指示器用于教练和受训者，生活方式清单是在外科教练进行第一次教练之前进行管理的。

主要结果和衡量方法 在第一轮辅导课和所有辅导课中，使用威斯康星州外科手术指导规程进行教练表现。

结果23 名外科手术教练和38名教练员合计共进行了65次独特的训练，并进行了106次教练训练。总体而言，23名教练中的22名（96％）和38名教练中的32名（84％）是男性。教练的生活方式清单建设​​性风格得分的增加与第一次教练的总体教练表现的提高相关（r  = 0.70；P  = .002）。教练对的Myers-Briggs类型指标评判/感知二分法的相似性也与他们在第一次教练中的整体教练表现的提高相关（β= 0.38；P  = .02）。当所有会议都纳入分析后，这些客观指标就不再与教练的表现相关。

结论和相关性 所有个性和思维方式的外科医生都可以成为具有适当培训和经验的有效教练。教练培训可以量身定制，以支持各种行为方式和偏好，以最大程度地提高教练的效能。
