Students value supportive peer feedback, which motivates them to provide it. However, time constraints and fear of negative peer impact can demotivate them, affecting nursing education.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Qualitative Research
- Peer Review
Background:
- Students who perceive value in peer feedback processes demonstrate a higher likelihood of offering supportive feedback to their colleagues.
- Understanding student perceptions is key to fostering effective peer feedback environments.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the key factors that either motivate or demotivate students in providing supportive peer feedback.
- To explore the relationship between students' valuation of peer feedback and their engagement in providing it.
Main Methods:
- Secondary analysis of qualitative data from 148 graduate nursing students across 7 master's-level courses.
- Thematic analysis was employed to identify motivating and demotivating factors influencing supportive peer feedback.
Main Results:
- Motivating themes centered on the potential for feedback to enhance self, peer, and team performance, ultimately improving patient care quality.
- Demotivating themes included perceived lack of time and apprehension regarding negative repercussions for peers.
Conclusions:
- Emphasize the positive influence of supportive peer feedback on nursing care to students.
- Structure assignments to ensure equitable and constructive peer feedback exchange.
