目的压力管理技能不佳可能会影响手术室的表现，尤其是对于经验不足的学员。人们对压力管理的个体差异知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨特质情绪智力（EI）与医学生面对不熟悉的外科手术任务时的客观和主观应激指标的关系。方法2008年1月至4月，17名医学生在模拟器上完成了一项不熟悉的腹腔镜手术任务。主观压力之前，期间（回顾性），并在任务后进行了测量，使用自我报告状态-特质焦虑量表。采用连续心率（HR）监测测量客观应激。参与者还完成了特质情绪智力问卷简表（TEIQe-SF）。计算了总体特质EI和TEIQe-SF四个因子的得分，并进行了描述性和相关分析。结果主观应激水平在任务期间最高，与特质情绪智力呈正相关，与特质情绪智力中的幸福感和情绪性呈正相关。任务期间的客观应激（平均HR）与特质情绪智力的社交性因子呈正相关。更高的特质EI分数也与更好的任务后恢复的压力经历在task.ConclusionsStudents与更高的特质EI更有可能在不熟悉的手术场景中经历压力，但也更有可能恢复得更好相比，他们的低特质EI同行。Trait EI对设计针对个人需求的有效压力管理培训和潜在应用程序对外科实习生的选择和发展具有影响。
PurposePoor stress management skills can compromise performance in the operating room, particularly in inexperienced trainees. Little is known about individual differences in managing stress. This study aimed to explore the relationship between trait emotional intelligence (EI) and objective and subjective measures of stress in medical students faced with unfamiliar surgical tasks.Method\Seventeen medical undergraduates completed an unfamiliar laparoscopic task on a simulator during January to April 2008. Subjective stress before, during (retrospectively), and after the task was measured using the self-report State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Objective stress was measured using continuous heart rate (HR) monitoring. Participants also completed the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire short form (TEIQue-SF). The authors computed scores for global trait EI and the TEIQue-SF four factors and carried out descriptive and correlational analyses. ResultsThe highest levels of subjective stress were reported during the task and correlated positively with trait EI as well as with the trait EI factors of well-being and emotionality. Objective stress (mean HR) during the task was positively related to the sociability factor of trait EI. Higher trait EI scores were also associated with better after-task recovery from stress experienced during the task.ConclusionsStudents with higher trait EI are more likely to experience stress during unfamiliar surgical scenarios but are also more likely to recover better compared with their lower-trait-EI peers. Trait EI has implications for the design of effective stress management training tailored to individual needs and potential applications to surgical trainee selection and development.
