- Healthcare Quality Improvement
Background:
- Reflective practice is crucial for professional growth, often utilizing data for self-assessment.
- Multisource feedback (MSF) involves evaluations from peers, patients, and coworkers.
- Peer coaching, a component of MSF, facilitates collaborative reflection on practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To pilot a Multisource Feedback (MSF) and peer coaching program.
- To evaluate the program's impact on fostering reflective practice among physicians.
Main Methods:
- Physicians underwent a 360-degree assessment and participated in peer coaching sessions.
- Peer coaches received training in the evidence-based R2C2 feedback model.
- A mixed-methods approach included pre-post surveys and semistructured interviews.
Main Results:
- Participants reported significant improvements in readiness for self-directed learning (P <.05).
- Key improvements included knowledge of learning strategies, resources, and outcome evaluation.
- Participants felt empowered to reflect on practice, affirm strengths, and identify development areas.
Conclusions:
- Multisource feedback (MSF) and peer coaching are vital for enabling reflective practice.
- These methods facilitate self-reflection and peer-to-peer dialogue to strengthen practice.
