Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

22
Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem:...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008).

Conversely, low self-esteem has been consistently linked with increased risks of depression, anxiety, and poor...

Self-Esteem01:28

Self-Esteem

25
Self-esteem, a core aspect of psychological well-being, reflects an individual's positive and negative self-evaluation in terms of worth, competence, and overall value. It is both a stable trait and a dynamic process, influenced by experiences and social interactions across the lifespan. While global self-esteem offers a general assessment, research highlights that self-esteem is multidimensional and varies across specific life domains.Domain-Specific Self-EsteemResearchers have delineated...

  • Mental Health Communication

Background:

  • Effective communication is crucial for psychiatry trainees when discussing mental illnesses like schizophrenia.
  • The ComPsych program aims to equip trainees with essential communication skills for patient and family interactions.
  • Assessing the program's impact on trainee self-efficacy is vital for refining educational strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and utility of the ComPsych communication skills training program.
  • To examine the impact of the training on psychiatry trainees' self-efficacy in communication.
  • To assess changes in trainees' confidence and ability to critically evaluate communication skills.

Main Methods:

  • A 4-year study (2015-2018) involving psychiatry trainees in their first year.
  • Trainees completed pre- and post-training questionnaires assessing demographics and communication confidence.
  • 41 trainees participated, providing data at four time points.

Main Results:

  • Significant increase in trainees' self-reported confidence in communication skills post-training (d=1.12).
  • Training elements like video feedback and simulated patients were rated highly effective (d=0.42).
  • Trainees demonstrated improved ability to critically evaluate their own communication skills (d=0.59).

Conclusions:

  • ComPsych training enhances psychiatry trainees' confidence in discussing schizophrenia with patients and families.
  • The program improves trainees' capacity for self-assessment of communication skills, a key clinical acumen.
  • Subjective self-efficacy ratings support the program's feasibility, utility, and perceived benefits.
