|---|---|---|
| Intervention (n = 25) | Control (n = 28) | |
| Age, mean (SD), y | 49.2 (6.9) | 44.4 (7.6) |
| Gender | ||
| Female | 13 (52.0) | 22 (78.6) |
| Male | 12 (48.0) | 6 (21.4) |
| Time in practice, mean (SD), y | 19.8 (7.8) | 14.0 (8.0) |
| Full-time | 10 (40.0) | 11 (39.3) |
| Tolerance of uncertainty, mean (SD)b | ||
| Stress from uncertainty | 40.4 (13.2) | 46.4 (9.3) |
| Reluctance to disclose uncertainty | 21.6 (6.1) | 21.8 (7.0) |
a
Data are presented as number (percentage) of clinicians unless otherwise indicated.
b
Tolerance of uncertainty scale as described by Gerrity et al25; scores range from 13 to 78 for stress from uncertainty and 9 to 39 for reluctance to disclose uncertainty, with higher scores indicating greater stress or reluctance, respectively.
