The effect of 1-year rotations on stress in preregistration house officers

J Firth-Cozens et al. Hosp Med. 2000 Dec.

Abstract

A comparison of stress levels in preregistration house officers demonstrated lower levels in those completing 1-year rotations compared with those completing 6-month posts in two different hospitals. One-year rotations provide a more stable environment, allow new doctors to become familiar with the workings of an organization from several viewpoints and permit a better sense of working within a multiprofessional team than the traditional arrangements.
