Methods: In this grounded theory qualitative study, data were collected from focus group meetings of psychiatry residents enrolled in postgraduate training at the University Of Calgary. Data analysis was performed according to grounded theory methodology. Results: Residents described educational and environmental factors in the context of professional relationships in the multidisciplinary PES. Conclusions: Opportunities to practice CanMEDS psychiatrist roles are influenced by resident relationships with the PES team. Residents will employ either of two coping mechanisms (altruism or devaluation) in an attempt to negotiate the stressors associated with training in the PES. Implications of coping styles on education and attitudes towards the PES are discussed.140 leaves ; 30 cm.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
