Laury de Jonge - PhD project data for study 3

At the very start of medical residency-training, entrustment of clinical tasks may be a major challenge, on which current scientific knowledge is scarce. For this study, we gathered naturalistic data using non-participant observations that were triangulated with semi-structured interviews with supervisors in four general practice practices. Data were analysed from a constructivist grounded theory approach. Supervisors’ early entrustment decisions were based on generic trainee qualities such as self-reflexivity, knowing one’s limitations, and asking for help in time, rather than on task-specific performance. At the start of residency-training, supervisors’ primary concern was to create a safe working and learning environment in which trainees could and would ask for timely supervision while being entrusted with challenging tasks. The files P1/P4 Truststudy LPJWMdeJonge.docx (archived as TranscriptsStudy3.7z) contain transcripts per practice in separate word files.
