Medical students self-reported work hours: perception versus reality.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare the students' actual work hours with their self-reported work hours during the obstetrics and gynecology clerkship, and to determine whether the number of hours worked correlate with the amount of "scut" reported or students' rating of the quality of the clerkship. STUDY DESIGN: Students self-reported work hours were compared against their actual scheduled hours over 2 different academic years. Pearson's correlation was performed to correlate the actual hours with the amount of reported "scut" work and the overall rating of the quality of the clerkship. RESULTS: The actual hours per week worked by students averaged 59 hours in 2003 and 48 hours in 2004. Students overestimated their work hours both years. Students who worked more hours rated the clerkship lower and the quality of the clerkship significantly improved from 2003 to 2004 (4.2 vs 3.8 P < .03). CONCLUSION: The majority of third-year students overestimate their work hours in obstetrics and gynecology. The rating of the overall quality of the clerkship increase significantly with fewer hours worked, and it is not affected by the amount of "scut" work.

Victimization in patients with vulvar dysesthesia/vestibulodynia. Is there an increased prevalence?

OBJECTIVE: To examine the prevalence of physical or sexual violence victimization among women referred to a specialty clinic for management of vulvar dysesthesia/vestibulodynia as compared to a healthy gynecology clinic population. STUDY DESIGN: The subjects in this case-control study were women who had completed routine questionnaires prior to presentation to the University of Michigan Center for Vulvar Diseases. Study subjects were all given a diagnosis of vulvar dysesthesia/vestibulodynia. Women without complaints of vulvar pain presenting to a gynecology clinic were enrolled as controls. Information was obtained from the control subjects using a questionnaire similar to the history forms completed by the study group. RESULTS: Comparisons were made between 242 patients with vulvar dysesthesia/vestibulodynia presenting to a specialty clinic and 113 controls. Cases were more likely to be Caucasian, to be married and to have a higher household income than controls but reported less drug or alcohol abuse and a lower frequency of sexual intercourse. After controlling for possible confounders, no relationship between sexual assault and the presence of vulvar dysesthesia/vestibulitis was found. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of victimization was not higher in patients with vulvar dysesthesia/vestibulodynia as compared to the control population after controlling for potential confounding variables.
