Caring for Each Other: A Resident-Led Peer Debriefing Skills Workshop.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inadequate time and space to process critical incidents contribute to burnout. Residents do not regularly participate in emotional debriefs. An institutional needs assessment revealed only 11% of surveyed pediatrics and combined medicine-pediatrics residents had participated in a debrief.

Objective

The primary objective was to increase resident comfort in participation in peer debriefs after critical incidents from 30% to 50% with implementation of a resident-led peer debriefing skills workshop. Secondary objectives included increasing resident likelihood of leading debriefs and comfort in identifying symptoms of emotional distress.

Methods

Internal medicine, pediatrics, and medicine-pediatrics residents were surveyed for baseline participation in debriefs
