Hospital Mistreatment

　　According to a study, most medical interns report experiencing mistreatment, including humiliation by senior doctors, being threatened, or physical abuse in their first year out of medical school.

　　The findings come from analysis of the responses to a 13-page survey mailed in January 1991 to 1, 733 second-year residents. The survey and analysis appear in the April 15th issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

　　Overall, out of the 1,277 residents who completed surveys, 1,185 said that they had experienced at least one incident of mistreatment in their intern year. In addition to reporting incidents where they were abused, more than 45% of the residents said they had witnessed at least one incident where other persons had made false medical records. Moreover, nearly three quarters of the residents said they had witnessed mistreatment of patients by other residents, attending physicians, or nurses. Almost 40% said patient mistreatment was a frequent event.

　　More than 10% of the residents said they were not allowed to have enough sleep, and the average number of hours without _ sleep was 37.6. The average on-call hours during a _ typical week was 56.9 hours, but about 25% of the residents said their on-call assignments were more than 80 hours some weeks. Although 30% of the residents said they experienced some type of sexual harassment or discrimination, verbal abuse was the most common problem cited. When abusive incidents were limited to events occurring three or more times, 53% of the respondents reported that they were belittled or humiliated by more senior residents, while just over 21% reported someone taking credit for their work. Being “given tasks for punishment,” “being pushed, kicked or hit,” and having someone “threatening your reputation or career,” were reported as a morefrequent occurrence by over 10% of the responding residents.

　　医院的虐待

　　根据一项研究表明，大多数实习医生从医学院毕业后的第一年开始都受到过虐待，包括被老资格的医生羞辱、恐吓或是殴打。

　　这一发现源于对1991年1月寄给1733名第二年信院医生的一份有13页调查问卷的反映分析。这项调查与分析在4月份刊登在《美国医学协会》杂志的15期上。

　　总地来说，1277名住院医生完成了问卷，其中1185人说他们在做实习医生时至少经历过一次虐待。有40%的住院医生说他们曾目睹病人受到其他的住院医生、说病人受虐待是常事。

　　10%以上的实习医生说他们不允许有足够的睡眠。每周平均连续37.6小时不允许睡觉。一个典型的工作周的应诊时间为56.9小时，但是大约25%的住院医生说他们的应诊任务在有的工作周达到80小时以上。

　　虽然30%的住院医生说他们经历过某种性骚扰或性歧视，谩骂是被提到的最普通的问题。当谩骂事件被限制在三次或三次以上，53%的住院医生说他们被轻视或被资格稍老的住院医生羞辱，而21%以上的住院医生说他们的工作成绩被记到别人的功劳簿上。资深的医生为了惩罚实习医生而给他们分派任务，“被推、被踢、被打”并且有人“威胁你的名誉和职业。”10%以上的被测医生反映这种事更常见。
