What medical students and residents learned from reflection through patients' perspectives: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

 The purposes of this study were to identify reflective processes from patients' points of view for difficult patient-doctor interactions and learn how the processes made medical students and residents aware of their own medical practice.  These processes were compared in two countries (US and Japan).

Methods

 The study was a descriptive qualitative study utilizing semi-structured interviews.  Participants were from US and Japan.  We analyzed the data using reflective thematic analysis of the implementation of reflections (from a patient's point of view) into medical clinical education and training from a constructivism paradigm.

Results

 We included twenty participants each from US and Japan by convenience sampling.  The participants were medical students
