Multi-source evaluation of interpersonal and communication skills of family medicine residents
Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2012Co-Authors: Kai-kuen Leung, Wei-dan Wang, Yen-yuan ChenAbstract:There is a lack of information on the use of multi-source evaluation to assess trainees’ interpersonal and communication skills in Oriental settings. This study is conducted to assess the reliability and applicability of assessing the interpersonal and communication skills of family medicine residents by patients, peer residents, nurses, and teaching staffs and to compare the ratings with the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). Our results revealed instruments used by staffs, peers, nurses, and self-evaluation have good internal consistency reliability (α > 0.90), except for the behavioral checklist (α = 0.57). Staffs’, peers’, and nurses’ evaluations were highly correlated with one another (r = 0.722 for staff- and peer-rating, r = 0.734 for staff- and nurse-rating, r = 0.634 for peer- and nurse-rating). However, residents’ self-rating and patients-rating were not correlated to ratings by any other raters. OSCE evaluation was correlated to peer-rating (r = 0.533) and staff-rating (r = 0.642), but not correlated to self- or patient-rating. The generalizability study revealed the major sources of variance came from the types of rater and the interaction of residents and types of rater. This study found self-rating and patient-rating were not consistent with other sources of rating on residents’ interpersonal and communication skills. Whether variations among different types of rater in a multi-source evaluation should be regarded as measurement errors or complementary information is worth further study.

a test of the weight based self evaluation schema in eating disorders understanding the link between self esteem weight based self evaluation and body dissatisfaction
Cognitive Therapy and Research, 2013Co-Authors: Traci Mcfarlane, Kathryn Trottier, Marion P OlmstedAbstract:This study examined the relationships among self-esteem, weight-based self-evaluation (WBSE), and body dissatisfaction in eating disorders. According to the cognitive conceptualization of weight-based self-evaluation, global self-esteem is lowered based on negative evaluations of weight/shape through the mechanism of the WBSE schema. A series of linear regression analyses were conducted with self-esteem, WBSE and body dissatisfaction in order to test for mediation. Body dissatisfaction significantly predicted WBSE, and WBSE significantly predicted global self-esteem after controlling for body dissatisfaction. The coefficient associated with the relation between body dissatisfaction and self-esteem was significant. It was significantly reduced but remained significant after controlling for WBSE. These data are compatible with the view that WBSE partially mediates the relationship between body dissatisfaction and self-esteem across eating disorders, and support the cognitive conceptualization of WBSE in eating disorders.
