==== To non-physicians ==== In a study of physicians who reported having made a mistake, it was offered that disclosing to non-physician sources of support may reduce stress more than disclosing to physician colleagues.<ref name="pmid8601210">{{cite journal |author=Newman MC |title=The emotional impact of mistakes on family physicians |journal=Archives of Family Medicine |volume=5 |issue=2 |pages=71β5 |year=1996 |pmid=8601210 |doi=10.1001/archfami.5.2.71}}</ref> This may be due to the finding that of the physicians in the same study, when presented with a hypothetical scenario of a mistake made by another colleague, only 32% of them would have unconditionally offered support. It is possible that greater benefit occurs when spouses are physicians.<ref name="pmid10068390">{{cite journal |last1=Sobecks |first1=Nancy W. |last2=Justice |first2=AC |last3=Hinze |first3=S |last4=Chirayath |first4=HT |last5=Lasek |first5=RJ |last6=Chren |first6=MM |last7=Aucott |first7=J |last8=Juknialis |first8=B |last9=Fortinsky |first9=R |last10=Youngner |first10=S |last11=Landefeld |first11=CS |title=When Doctors Marry Doctors: A Survey Exploring the Professional and Family Lives of Young Physicians |journal=Annals of Internal Medicine |date=16 February 1999 |volume=130 |issue=4_Part_1 |pages=312β9 |doi=10.7326/0003-4819-130-4-199902160-00017 |pmid=10068390 }}</ref>
