Summary
Video blogging (vlogging) enhances medical students' reflective practice by increasing engagement and emotional depth compared to traditional written methods. This approach fosters deeper self-reflection and vicarious learning among students.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Digital Learning Technologies
- Reflective Practice
Background:
- Reflection is crucial for medical professionals but challenging for students.
- Traditional written reflections often lack emotional depth.
- Developing engaging methods for reflective practice is needed.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore medical students' perspectives on using vlogging for reflection.
- To assess the impact of vlogging on the quality and engagement of reflective practice.
Main Methods:
- Students participated in a mindfulness module, reflecting via text and vlogs in a WhatsApp group.
- Semi-structured focus groups gathered student feedback.
- Thematic analysis was applied to WhatsApp transcripts and focus group data.
Main Results:
- Vlogging was perceived as more engaging and convenient than written reflections.
- Vlogging enhanced emotional content and facilitated deeper reflection.
- Students experienced vicarious learning through watching peers' vlogs.
Conclusions:
- Vlogging is an accessible and effective tool for enhancing medical students' reflective practice.
- It promotes greater engagement with affective and expressive aspects of reflection.
- Vlogging offers a valuable alternative or supplement to traditional written reflections.

1.9K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...
