Purpose We aimed to study the impact of a combined faculty-student book club on education and medical practice as a part of the informal curriculum at the University of Florida College of Medicine in the United States. Methods Sixteen medical students and 7 faculties who participated in the book club were interviewed through phone and recorded. The interview was then transcribed and entered into the qualitative data analysis program QSR NVivo (QSR International, Burlington, MA, USA). The transcripts were reviewed, and thematic codes were developed inductively through collaborative iteration. Based on these preliminary codes, a coding dictionary was developed and applied to all interviews within QSR Nvivo to identify themes. Results Four main themes were identified from interviews: The first theme, the importance of literature to the development and maintenance of empathy and perspective-taking, and the second theme, the importance of the book club in promoting mentorship, personal relationships and professional development, were important to both student and faculty participants. The third and fourth themes, the need for the book club as a tool for self-care and the book club serving as a reminder about the world outside of school were discussed by student book club members. Conclusion Our study demonstrated that an informal book club has a significant positive impact on self-care, perspective-taking, empathy, and developing a “world outside of school” for medical school students and faculty in the United States. It also helps to foster meaningful relationships between students and faculty.

美国师生读书俱乐部中的自我关怀观点采择和同理心


目的 我们旨在研究作为美国佛罗里达大学医学院非正式课程一部分的师生联合读书俱乐部对教育和医疗实践的影响。方法对参加读书俱乐部的16名医学生和7名教职人员进行电话采访并录音。然后，采访内容被转录并输入定性数据分析程序 QSR NVivo（QSR International，伯灵顿，马萨诸塞州，美国）。对成绩单进行审查，并通过协作迭代归纳开发主题代码。根据这些初步代码，开发了编码字典并将其应用于 QSR Nvivo 内的所有采访，以识别主题。结果从访谈中确定了四个主题：第一个主题，文学对发展和维持同理心和观点采择的重要性，第二个主题，读书俱乐部在促进指导、人际关系和职业发展方面的重要性，对于学生和教师参与者都很重要。学生读书俱乐部成员讨论了第三和第四个主题，即读书俱乐部作为自我保健工具的必要性以及读书俱乐部作为校外世界提醒的作用。结论 我们的研究表明，非正式读书俱乐部对美国医学院学生和教师的自我保健、换位思考、同理心以及发展“校外世界”具有显着的积极影响。它还有助于培养学生和教师之间有意义的关系。
