Summary

This study surveys anesthesiologists to explore whether feelings of being a fraud (impostor phenomenon) are linked to everyday memory and attention lapses. Participants complete online questionnaires about impostor feelings, cognitive failures, anxiety, depression, sleep quality, and workload. The goal is to understand if these psychological factors pose a hidden risk to patient safety.

What this could lead to
If a link is found, it could point to ways to improve patient safety by addressing psychological factors in anesthesiologists.
What could go wrong
This is an observational survey, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to other medical specialties.
