Effectiveness of a supervisor training on quality of feedback to internal medicine residents: a controlled longitudinal multicentre study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

High-quality feedback on different dimensions of competence is important for resident learning. Supervisors may need additional training and information to fulfil this demanding task. This study aimed to evaluate whether a short and simple training improves the quality of feedback residents receive from their clinical supervisors in daily practice.

Design

Longitudinal quasi-experimental controlled study with a pretest/post-test design. We collected multiple premeasurements and postmeasurements for each supervisor over 2 years. A repeated measurements ANOVA was performed on the data.

Setting

Internal medicine departments of seven Dutch teaching hospitals.

Participants

Internal medicine supervisors (n=181) and residents (n=192).

Intervention

Half of the supervisors attended a short 2.5-hour training session during which they could practise giving feedback in a simulated setting using video fragments. Highly experienced internal medicine educators guided the group discussions about the feedback. The other half of the supervisors formed the control group and received no feedback training.

Outcome measures

Residents rated the quality of supervisors' oral feedback with a previously validated questionnaire. Furthermore, the completeness of the supervisors' written feedback on evaluation forms was analysed.

Results

The data showed a significant increase in the quality of feedback after the training F (1, 87)=6.76, p=0.04. This effect remained significant up to 6 months after the training session.

Conclusions

A short training session in which supervisors practise giving feedback in a simulated setting increases the quality of their feedback. This is a promising outcome since it is a feasible approach to faculty development.

Project description:BackgroundGrit refers to a combination of perseverance and passion, which is essential for long-term success. Grit is associated with higher education attainment and a lower likelihood of burnout. Understanding how grit evolves during internal medicine residency training is important for providing better support to residents. The primary objective of the current study was to evaluate potential changes in the level of grit throughout the training program and investigate the association between grit and stress levels, quality of life (QoL), and satisfaction of learning scores.MethodsWe conducted a prospective study involving internal medicine residents enrolled in training programs from July 2022 to July 2023, except for the second-third-year residents of dermatology and neurology programs and the third-year residents of haematology and oncology programs, which are not part of the same training regimen. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires at the beginning of the training year and every three months until the end. Collected data included age, gender, habitat, working experience, financial burden, marital status, rotations, grit scores, QoL, stress score, and satisfaction of learning score during each trimester. Changes in grit over the year were examined using repeated measures analysis of variance adjusted by training program, financial status, working experience, habitat, marital status, and age. We performed multivariable linear regression models to explore associations between grit and the following domains: QoL, ST-5, and SoLs.ResultsOf 122 internal medicine residents in all three years of training, one resident dropped out during training, and another declined to participate. A total of 120 residents were included. Grit did not significantly change over time. Subgroup analysis of the first-year resident group revealed that grit significantly decreased (P = 0.049). Multivariable analysis revealed that grit was positively associated with QoL (β = 0.01, P < 0.001) and satisfaction of learning score (β = 0.07, P < 0.001) but inversely associated with stress score (β = - 0.04, P < 0.001).ConclusionsOf all residents, grit did not change over a year. However, only the first-year residents reported a decrease in grit during a training year. Throughout first-year residents' internal medicine residency training, grit was positively associated with QoL and satisfaction of learning score but negatively associated with stress level. These findings suggest the need for targeted interventions to support first-year residents and enhance their resilience throughout training.
