Measuring Attitudes About Peer Review in a University Department of Psychiatry
Abstract
At Duke University's department of psychiatry, staff members' attitudes about peer review were measured through a 36-item questionnaire. Two-thirds of the respondents felt that peer review was needed, and 51 per cent believed it should not be limited to the work of physicians. Senior staff psychiatrists were considered most qualified to be on the panel, followed by third-year psychiatric residents and senior staff psychologists. Among all respondents, having a high degree of resentment about peer review was significantly correlated with seeing a low need for it and with 17 other items on the questionnaire.
