Abstract：
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Little is known about the reading habits of family practice residents. This study describes the reading practices of family practice residents, including how much time they spend reading and what information sources they use, identifies factors that may be used by educators to stimulate resident reading, and identifies factors that may inhibit or discourage reading. METHODS:A questionnaire about reading habits was mailed to 613 randomly selected resident members of the American Academy of Family Physicians in March 1994. RESULTS:Of 613 questionnaires sent, 314 (51%) were completed and returned. Participants reported reading an average of 3.7 hours per week and were most often motivated to read to obtain information related to clinical cases or to prepare for an upcoming presentation. Pocket manuals were the most frequently read and original scientific research the least frequently read sources of medical information. Fatigue and family responsibilities were the factors most important in preventing reading. Year in residency, moonlighting hours, age, gender, or household size were not associated with reported reading time. CONCLUSIONS:Clinical cases and upcoming presentations may be the best motivators of resident reading. Training programs need to continue to develop strategies to minimize resident fatigue, which may lead to increased reading among trainees. The importance of original scientific research articles during residency training is unclear.
