Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

INTRODUCTION: Psychiatrists' first exposure to patient suicide often occurs during residency training. Previous research shows that experiencing a patient's death by suicide during residency can have significant impacts on trainees' well-being, self-esteem and approach to practice. However, existing research on this topic is mostly limited to survey-based data, which does not facilitate nuanced exploration. This study will use a qualitative approach to gain an in-depth understanding of Canadian psychiatry residents' experiences of a patient's death by suicide and the types of supports that may help trainees to process this loss and integrate this experience into their professional identity formation. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This study will conduct 15-25 semistructured qualitative interviews with psychiatry resident physicians across Canada to explore their experiences of patient loss by suicide during training. Interview data will be transcribed verbatim and analysed using the principles of Constructivist Grounded Theory. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study findings will be reported and accessible to residency training programmes, the academic community, the media and the public.This study was approved by the Research Ethics Board of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (Protocol Identifying Number 2024/125).

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
