TL;DR
Extensive social and emotional "in-house” support, attention to stress-management skills, and the moderate personality characteristics of family practice residents help explain these findings.
Abstract
These family medicine residents did not experience excessive levels of anxiety or anger during residency training either as a trait, state or somatic response. Extensive social and emotional "in-house" support, attention to stress-management skills, and the moderate personality characteristics of family practice residents help explain these findings. Initial assessment of psychological functioning and early remediation and program support during training may significantly reduce the potential for residents' impairment.
