Brief Summary:
Surveys including a demographic chart the Clance Impostor phenomenon scale CIPS and the Malash burnout inventory for medical personnel MBI-HSS-MP will be sent to residents and chief-residents in anesthesiology in Latin Switzerland VD VS GE Ti
A qualitative study will then explore the experiences and coping strategies of self-doubt and impostor syndrome of junior resident anesthesiologists working at Geneva University Hospital during their transition from mandatory training in internal medicine to anesthesiology

Detailed Description:
The Impostor syndrome IS as first described by Clance and Imes is the Inability to internalize success and the tendency to attribute success to external causes such as luck error or knowing the appropriate individuals Failure to recognize personal or professional success may lead to a sense of fraudulence or impostorism and may have negative consequences for career advancement and well-being IS has been described among men and women in multiple settings worldwide A systematic review of IS found that it often co-occurs with depression and anxiety and can lead to poor job performance and burnout
A number of studies have explored IS among health professionals and its impact on professional performance Healthcare professionals with heavy workloads and responsibility for patient care may be exposed to errors feelings of self-doubt anxiety and guilt A recent scoping review of IS among physicians and physicians in training showed that low self-esteem institutional culture and female gender were associated with higher rates of IS which was itself associated with higher rates of burnout Experiences of underperformance and inadequate self-assessment in physicians were also linked to self-doubt and feelings of fraudulence Medical culture itself may encourage such individual blame and perfectionism
IS has not been well studied within the field of anesthesia Anesthesia is a technical medical specialization characterized by its high stress level Anesthesiologists are subject to burnout and drug dependence due to their work-related stress and facilitated access to medications The responsibilities to care for patient lives during unstable periods brought by the surgical act or medical condition generates a particularly high tension for anesthesiologists
The purpose of our study is to assess the prevalence of IS and burnout in Swiss anesthesiology residents and chief residents and explore in depth the experiences and coping strategies of junior resident anesthesiologists in one French-speaking Swiss hospital
This will be done by first conducting a survey including two scales one that assess Burnout MBI-HSS MP and one that assess Impostor Syndrome CIPS and a demographic part to understand which residents and chief-residents are more prone to endure such feelings The investigators also want to understand if those feelings are linked to a recent transition either in institutions or in role
The investigators also want to do in-depth interviews with residents in anesthesiology to understand how and in which situations those feelings arise and to uncover which coping strategies they use
The proposed study corresponds to risk category A as participants in the study are not exposed to any direct health risk Nonetheless psychological support will be available to the participants taking part in the qualitative sub-study in the event that surveys and interviews arouse difficult emotions
These results will be used to identify potential strategies to prevent IS and its negative consequences potentially burnout among Swiss anesthesiologists The investigators plan to construct and implement Test interventions aimed at medical students and residents to increase knowledge of impostor syndrome and burnout and to give them tools to react to such feelings
