“…Respondent 76 stated that, "There was a generation gap between my mentor and me". Stolarski et al (2020) found the same results as the mentors found it challenging to meet their mentees' needs due to the generation gaps and other issues. Professional identities are formed by work experience (Bruss & Kopala, 1993).…”

Practicum is an excellent chance for university students to apply their knowledge in a real-world professional setting. Unlike other majors, Vietnamese English major students are generally not trained to work in a particular area. Therefore, the causes of their unsatisfactory experiences during practicum are different from those of students with other majors. This current study was designed with a mixed-methods approach to enlist the causes of English-majored students’ unsatisfactory experiences during their practicum. Two hundred twenty-two interns majoring in English studies/linguistics responded to an open-ended question. The results showed that students’ low self-efficacy and short internship duration were the two leading causes of unsatisfactory experiences during the practicum. Based on the qualitative data analyses, the students were found struggling to complete their assigned tasks as well as expected. Additionally, the short duration prevented them from gaining more professional experience. As a result, some implications for improving the program’s quality are discussed in this paper.

“…The rigors of surgical internship are starkly different from those of the preceding years in medical school. We have previously shown that surgical interns struggle finding a balance between work and personal demands such as maintaining pre-existing relationships outside of work [7]. The FIRST Trial demonstrated that surgical interns are the most frequent violators of the duty hour requirements and the 80hour work week [4].…”

“…The survey consisted of 30 questions structured as multiplechoice items or as statements with a 5-point Likert response scale (Supplement) [7].

Background: Surgical residents may be perceived as silent violators of duty hours as they try to balance patient care and regulatory compliance. Methods:In order to examine the perspective of general surgery interns on their reporting of work hours, a survey questionnaire was distributed between May 6 and June 3, 2019 to first year surgical trainees at four major academic institutions near the end of their internship year.Results: A total of 25 of 59 interns participated in our survey (42.4% response rate). Work-life balance was consistently rated as the most significant challenge facing surgical interns. All (100%) interns had at one time under-reported work hours, while 28% did so "often", and 32% "occasionally". Interestingly, one in five surgical interns reported receiving external pressure from their residency program to under-report working hours. Conclusion:Surgical interns have difficulties adequately balancing their life with the rigorous work of a surgical resident, and that nearly all surgical interns both violate and under-report their work hours. Understanding the reasons why surgical trainees decide to under-report duty hours would help surgical educators develop innovative, non-punitive methods to improve work hour compliance.

“…For instance, junior trainees turn to senior mentors for career guidance but may prefer discussing work-life balance with junior faculty. 12 Creating and sharing the responsibility of mentorship through a matrix of mentors confers maximal flexibility for both mentees and mentors.…”
