Emotional impairment in internal medicine house staff. Results of a national survey
J. W. Smith, W. F. Denny and D. B. Witzke
A questionnaire was sent to all internal medicine program directors who
were members of the Association of Program Directors in Internal Medicine
to identify the scope of the problem of debilitating emotional impairment
in internal medicine house staff for each of the five years 1979 through
1984; 63% of the questionnaires were returned. During these five years,
55.5% of internal medicine training programs granted leaves of absence to
medical residents because of emotional impairment; an average of 0.9% of
internal medicine house staff required leaves of absence, with the rate
twice as common in female residents. Most impaired residents recovered and
apparently did well, for 79% continued in medicine. However, 10% completely
dropped out of medicine and 2% had a successful suicide; an additional 3%
attempted suicide unsuccessfully.
