Measuring deliberate reflection in residents: validation and psychometric properties of a measurement tool.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Reflective capacity is "the ability to understand critical analysis of knowledge and experience to achieve deeper meaning." In medicine, there is little provision for post-graduate medical education to teach deliberate reflection. The feasibility, scoring characteristics, reliability, validation, and adaptability of a modified previously validated instrument was examined for its usefulness assessing reflective capacity in residents as a step toward developing interventions for improvement.

Methods

Third-year residents and fellows from four anesthesia training programs were administered a slightly modified version of the Reflection Evaluation for Learners' Enhanced Competencies Tool (REFLECT) in a prospective, observational study at the end of the 2019 academic year.
