| Abstract |
The European Working Time Regulations (EWTR) have been criticized for its purported negative impact on the training of junior doctors. The aim of this study was to examine the amount of time interns spent engaging in various work activities. An online time-use diary was used to collect data from interns. Two teaching hospitals in the Republic of Ireland. A total of 45 interns logged at least one 24-h period. The logs were obtained from 67 shifts from a surgical rotation and 83 shifts from a medical rotation. The amount of time interns spent engaging in direct patient care, indirect patient care, educational activities and personal activities. On day shift, medical interns spent a significantly smaller proportion of the shift on direct care (159/613 min, 25.9% versus 214/636 min, 33.6%) and a greater proportion on education (195/613 min, 31.8% versus 139/636 min, 21.9%) than surgical interns. On extended days, medical interns spent a significantly larger proportion of the shift on education than surgical interns (243/814 min, 29.9% versus 126/804, 15.7% min). On night shift, medical interns spent a significantly greater proportion of the shift on direct care (590/720 min, 81.9% versus 346/727 min, 47.6%) and education (33/720 min, 4.6% versus 6/727 min, 0.8%) than surgical interns. The interns in the study reported spending more time on direct patient care and educational activities, and less time on indirect patient care activities than interns in other countries. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 February 2017.
All research outputs
#12,937,167
of 22,829,683 outputs
Outputs from International Journal for Quality in Health Care
#1,140
of 1,523 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#121,702
of 274,379 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal for Quality in Health Care
#11
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,829,683 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,523 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.6. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 274,379 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
