Abstract

Introduction: Increasing complexity in healthcare makes it necessary to strengthen leadership training in postgraduate medical education (PGME). Multi-source feedback (MSF) is an acknowledged formative assessment method widely implemented in PGME. The present study examined how MSF may support junior doctors' awareness of the need to achieve and train leadership skills in clinical practice.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 junior doctors late in PGME after they had completed a leadership-focused MSF process. Written personal development plans were collected. Data were analysed using thematic analysis.

Results: The majority of the junior doctors found that the MSF process was intense, rewarding and helpful for understanding the many facets of clinical leadership. The personal feedback dialogue and the development plan were highlighted as the most beneficial elements of the process. The MSF process identified new learning objectives for leadership development such as task delegation, independent decision-making, becoming a role model and giving and seeking feedback.

Conclusions: Junior doctors found that a leadership-focused MSF process increased their attention to and awareness of leadership in daily clinical practice and provided deep insights into and specific tools to develop leadership skills. Thus, a leadership-focused MSF process may contribute to and increase junior doctors' leadership skills.

Funding: The study was supported financially by the Central and North Denmark Region.

Trial registration: Registered with the Central Denmark Region: 1-16-02-315-20.

多源反馈加强了初级医生对实现和培训临床领导能力的必要性的认识。

导读:日益复杂的医疗保健使得有必要加强领导力培训的研究生医学教育(PGME)。多源反馈(MSF)是一种公认的在PGME中广泛应用的形成性评价方法。本研究考察了MSF如何支持初级医生在临床实践中实现和培训领导技能的必要性。方法:对30名完成了以领导为中心的MSF过程的初级医生进行半结构化访谈。收集书面的个人发展计划。采用专题分析对数据进行分析。结果:大多数初级医生发现MSF过程是紧张的，有益的，有助于理解临床领导的许多方面。个人反馈对话和发展计划被强调为过程中最有益的元素。MSF过程确定了领导力发展的新学习目标，如任务授权、独立决策、成为榜样以及给予和寻求反馈。结论:初级医生发现，以领导为中心的MSF流程提高了他们在日常临床实践中对领导的关注和意识，并为培养领导技能提供了深刻的见解和具体的工具。因此，以领导为中心的MSF流程可能有助于提高初级医生的领导技能。资助:本研究由丹麦中部和北部地区提供财政支持。试验注册:在丹麦中部地区注册:1-16-02-315-20。
