Physicians often express frustration with the ‘system’ in which they work. Over time, this frustration may put them at risk of burnout and disengagement, which may impact patient care. In this study, we aimed to understand the nature of the system flaws that physicians identified in their published narratives and to explore their self-representation as agents of change. We reviewed all reflective narratives published in four medical journals (NEJM, JAMA, CMAJ, Annals IM) between January 2015 and December 2017 (n = 282). By consensus, we identified those that addressed system flaws (n = 87). Using content and narrative analysis, we analyzed the types of flaws and the physicians’ orientation to the flawed system. We identified seven recurring system flaws—five related to medical culture: failures of communication, erosive impact of the hidden curriculum, inadequate health advocacy, frenzied pace of work, and experience of stigma. Less frequently, physicians’ narratives also exposed limited and disparate healthcare resources and restrictive institutional practices as impeding patient-centered care. Physicians expressed agency to create change foremost when writing about flaws related to medical culture. While physicians are challenged by system flaws, they strive to practice in ways that do not succumb to them. We saw tension between the elements outside the physician’s control and those within it. This tension becomes a source of distress when the compromises that emerge from system flaws move physicians away from the values that define their professional identity.

来自前线的声音:医生关于“系统”缺陷的反思性叙述分析

医生经常对他们工作的“系统”表示失望。随着时间的推移,这种挫败感可能会使他们面临倦怠和脱离接触的风险,这可能会影响患者护理。在这项研究中,我们旨在了解医生在他们发表的叙述中发现的系统缺陷的性质,并探索他们作为变革推动者的自我表现。我们回顾了 2015 年 1 月至 2017 年 12 月期间发表在四种医学期刊(NEJM、JAMA、CMAJ、Annals IM)上的所有反思性叙述(n = 282)。一致同意,我们确定了那些解决系统缺陷的问题 (n = 87)。使用内容和叙述分析,我们分析了缺陷的类型和医生对有缺陷的系统的定位。我们发现了七个反复出现的系统缺陷——五个与医学文化有关:沟通失败、隐藏课程的侵蚀性影响、健康宣传不足、疯狂的工作节奏和耻辱感。不太常见的是,医生的叙述也暴露了有限和不同的医疗资源以及限制性的机构实践阻碍了以患者为中心的护理。在撰写与医学文化相关的缺陷时,医生们表示最重要的是创造变革。虽然医生受到系统缺陷的挑战,但他们努力以不屈服于它们的方式进行实践。我们看到了医生无法控制的因素和控制范围内的因素之间的紧张关系。当系统缺陷导致的妥协使医生远离定义其专业身份的价值观时,这种紧张就会成为痛苦的根源。不太常见的是,医生的叙述也暴露了有限和不同的医疗资源以及限制性的机构实践阻碍了以患者为中心的护理。在撰写与医学文化相关的缺陷时,医生们表示最重要的是创造变革。虽然医生受到系统缺陷的挑战,但他们努力以不屈服于它们的方式进行实践。我们看到了医生无法控制的因素和控制范围内的因素之间的紧张关系。当系统缺陷导致的妥协使医生远离定义其专业身份的价值观时,这种紧张就会成为痛苦的根源。不太常见的是,医生的叙述也暴露了有限和不同的医疗资源以及限制性的机构实践阻碍了以患者为中心的护理。在撰写与医学文化相关的缺陷时,医生们表示最重要的是创造变革。虽然医生受到系统缺陷的挑战,但他们努力以不屈服于它们的方式进行实践。我们看到了医生无法控制的因素和控制范围内的因素之间的紧张关系。当系统缺陷导致的妥协使医生远离定义其专业身份的价值观时,这种紧张就会成为痛苦的根源。在撰写与医学文化相关的缺陷时,医生们表示最重要的是创造变革。虽然医生受到系统缺陷的挑战,但他们努力以不屈服于它们的方式进行实践。我们看到了医生无法控制的因素和控制范围内的因素之间的紧张关系。当系统缺陷导致的妥协使医生远离定义其专业身份的价值观时,这种紧张就会成为痛苦的根源。在撰写与医学文化相关的缺陷时,医生们表示最重要的是创造变革。虽然医生受到系统缺陷的挑战,但他们努力以不屈服于它们的方式进行实践。我们看到了医生无法控制的因素和控制范围内的因素之间的紧张关系。当系统缺陷导致的妥协使医生远离定义其专业身份的价值观时,这种紧张就会成为痛苦的根源。
