When using entrustable professional activities thwarts basic psychological needs: A case s

Julien-Carl Phaneuf's qualitative research dataset examines how 14 residents in a Canadian internal medicine program experienced Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs). The data, last updated in May 2026, comprises interview transcripts analyzed through thematic analysis guided by Self-Determination Theory. It explores themes of autonomy, competence, and relatedness in relation to EPA implementation.

Use Cases

• Analyzing resident perceptions of assessment burden based on themes like 'A Documentation Imperative' and 'A Binding Burden'.
• Studying the impact of digital platforms on feedback dialogue based on the 'Electronic Barriers' theme described.
• Investigating the alignment between assessment tasks and competence development based on the 'Fleeting Convergences' theme.
• Applying Self-Determination Theory frameworks to qualitative educational data from interview narratives.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on 14 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with residents.
• Analysis follows Braun and Clarke's six-phase thematic analysis methodology.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• The dataset is small in scale at 185.2 KB, limiting statistical analysis.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data reflects a single case study from a Canadian internal medicine program, which may limit generalizability.
