“…The hypothesized model did not posit a separate mechanism of functioning in psychiatry trainees in comparison to other medical residents. Instead, a common, generalized framework was conceptualized at the basis of the mechanism linking childhood experiences, personality, and occupational factors 68,69 . Psychiatry training and its outcomes can then be better understood as exposing (possibly self‐selected) individuals in the mental health profession with specific stressors.…”

BackgroundA better characterization of educational processes during psychiatry training is needed, both to foster personal resilience and occupational proficiency.MethodsAn adequate coverage of medical residents at the national level was reached (41.86% of the total reference population, 29 out of 36 training centers—80.55%). Controls were recruited among residents in other medical specialties. All participants were assessed by questionnaires to evaluate early life experiences, attachment style, personality traits, coping strategies, emotional competencies. A Structural Equation Model (SEM) framework was employed to investigate the interplay between individual factors.ResultsA total sample of 936 people was recruited (87.9% response‐rate; 645 residents in psychiatry, 291 other medical residents). Psychiatry trainees reported a higher prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (emotional abuse, emotional neglect, physical neglect), greater attachment insecurity (anxious or avoidant) in comparison to other medical trainees. Psychiatry residents also reported higher social support‐seeking as a coping strategy, lower problem‐orientation, and lower transcendence. Lower neuroticism, higher openness to experience, and higher emotional awareness were also observed in psychiatry trainees. Psychiatry training was associated with a redefinition of conflict management skills as a function of seniority. The SEM model provided support for an interplay between early traumatic experiences, mentalization skills (coping strategies, emotion regulation), interpersonal competencies and occupational distress.ConclusionsThe findings of the present study supported a theoretical model based on mentalization theory for the interactions between personal and relational competencies in psychiatry training, thus providing potential target of remodulation and redefinition of this specific process of education.

“…Early childhood educators (ECEs) care for young children in a variety of public (Universal Pre-Kindergarten, Head Start) and private (center-based, faith-based, home-based child care; Grist & Caudle, 2021 ) settings. Data suggest that approximately two million early childhood educators are responsible for watching about 10 million young children each day in the United States (Whitebook et al, 2018 ).…”

Early childhood educators (ECEs) face several workplace challenges, including young children’s difficult behavior and mental health needs, workplace stress, low systemic support, and high levels of burnout. Both education and perceived confidence are often cited as important buffering factors, yet neither is well studied in the existing literature. The present study aimed to better understand and describe these factors. A survey, including both open and closed questions, was sent out to a large group of ECEs. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, T-tests, and the constant comparison method of qualitative coding. Findings suggest that the types of training ECEs have had is related to their comfort in recognizing and responding to young children’s mental health and challenging behaviors. Both systemic changes and didactic needs were cited as necessary to further support ECEs.
