Reflective narratives during the Covid-19 pandemic: an outlet for medical students in uncertain times
1Division of Health and Humanities, St John's Research Institute, St John's Medical College, Sarjapur Road, Bengaluru 560 034, INDIA.
Abstract:
Reflective narratives on personal experiences, observations, thoughts and concerns were used as a method of helping medical students process the Covid-19 pandemic and their lives. This involved individual writing, anonymous submission, on-line group reading of selected narratives on a voluntary basis and facilitated discussions. Students felt that this was a safe method to voice their feelings and thoughts, to understand themselves better and to gain new perspectives. Though small numbers of students participated, there appears to be a greater potential to use reflective narrative writing coupled with facilitated group discussions in medical education to help students cope with external and internal stress, to better understand themselves, to relate to others and possibly to become more empathic. Keywords: Education, medical, reflective narrative, Covid-19, wellbeing strategies, humanities, medical students.
