Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Gender bias and stereotypes have been recognized as pervasive factors influencing various aspects of society, including professional settings. Within the realm of medical practice, understanding the potential impacts of such biases on performance is of paramount importance. Anesthesiology, a field that demands technical precision, teamwork, and rapid decision-making, is not immune to the potential effects of gender stereotypes on performance outcomes. This study aims to explore the potential influence of gender stereotype manipulation and stereotype threat on the fiber-optic intubation (FOE) performance of female anesthesiology residents.

Stereotype threat refers to the apprehension individuals experience when their actions or abilities are evaluated within the context of negative stereotypes associated with their social group. Such threat has been shown to adversely affect cognitive and motor performance in various domains. In medical education, where skills are honed through training, understanding the role of stereotype threat is crucial to fostering equitable learning environments and ensuring patient safety.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

It will be a 2x2 between-subject factorial design. Simulation FOE (Fiberoptic Intubation) scores will be the dependent variable. Being male or female and stereotype threat will be the study's independent variables. There will be four groups to be compared: Male anesthesiologists in the experimental group (1), male anesthesiologists in the control group (2), female anesthesiologists in the experimental group (3), female anesthesiologists in the control group (4).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Female anesthesiologists in the experimental group

Stereotype threat manipulation will be performed on the female anesthesiologist in the experimental group just before they are taken into the testing room.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

stereotype threat manipulation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Stereotype threat is the thought that a person will be negatively evaluated and judged regarding a negative stereotype that belongs to the group to which he/ she belongs. Stereotype threat manipulation will be performed on the male and female participants in the experimental group just before they are taken into the testing room. For manipulation, the following sentences will be said to the participants in the experimental group: "We aim to compare fiberoptic intubation performance between male and female anesthesiologists. Additionally, we are investigating whether the high inclination of males towards computer games has any impact on their fiberoptic intubation success." The other participants (Control Group) will not be given any prior information.

Female anesthesiologists in the control group

The female anesthesiologists in the control group will not be given any prior information.
