A cluster randomised crossover trial of single resilience and professionalism tutorials among undergraduate medical students.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence suggests that targeted interventions can improve medical students' perceptions of professionalism and professional identity formation, resilience and coping skills. However, it is unclear how many educational sessions are required for a meaningful impact. We aimed to determine the impact of single resilience/professionalism tutorials on Year 1 medical students' coping self-efficacy and resilience and perceptions of professionalism and professional identity formation. We also conducted a qualitative process evaluation.

Methods

A cluster crossover design was used to evaluate tutorials. Student groups were randomly allocated to 'resilience first' and 'professionalism first' classes, followed immediately by the alternative tutorial. Students (n = 106)
