Abstract
Introduction: Co-creation is gaining momentum in health professions education with positive effects on learners' engagement and motivation. Concurrently, emotional challenges faced by learners-such as stress, anxiety, burnout, and depression-continue to be a problem for health professions education leaders. This review seeks to explore how learners' active participation in shaping their educational experience may influence their well-being.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and CINHAL. We included studies conducted within a health professions education context, which involved learners in curriculum design processes, and reported outcomes related to learners' well-being. We used Seligman's PERMA model to report these terms.
Results: Of 4222 reviewed articles, 24 met the inclusion criteria. All studies reported outcomes related to learners' well-being across the five domains of the PERMA model: Positive Emotions (n = 23), Meaning (n = 20), Positive Relationships (n = 10), Engagement (n = 4), and Accomplishment (n = 4). Studies describing a true student-staff partnership approach (n = 17) involved smaller learner groups, focused on developing new curricula reported outcomes related to learners' positive well-being in all five domains. Studies describing pseudo-partnership (N = 7) also reported positive learner well-being, but not in all domains, and mostly focused in the context of developing extracurricular mental health initiatives.
Conclusions: Co-creation, especially when true student-staff partnership is used, can have a positive influence on learners' well-being. This underscores the importance of empowering learners to participate in shaping their education. Lessons learned from this review may encourage curriculum planners and education leaders to create opportunities and initiatives for involving learners in the design of their education.
期刊介绍:
Perspectives on Medical Education mission is support and enrich collaborative scholarship between education researchers and clinical educators, and to advance new knowledge regarding clinical education practices.
Official journal of the The Netherlands Association of Medical Education (NVMO).
Perspectives on Medical Education is a non-profit Open Access journal with no charges for authors to submit or publish an article, and the full text of all articles is freely available immediately upon publication, thanks to the sponsorship of The Netherlands Association for Medical Education.
Perspectives on Medical Education is highly visible thanks to its unrestricted online access policy.
Perspectives on Medical Education positions itself at the dynamic intersection of educational research and clinical education. While other journals in the health professional education domain orient predominantly to education researchers or to clinical educators, Perspectives positions itself at the collaborative interface between these perspectives. This unique positioning reflects the journal’s mission to support and enrich collaborative scholarship between education researchers and clinical educators, and to advance new knowledge regarding clinical education practices. Reflecting this mission, the journal both welcomes original research papers arising from scholarly collaborations among clinicians, teachers and researchers and papers providing resources to develop the community’s ability to conduct such collaborative research. The journal’s audience includes researchers and practitioners: researchers who wish to explore challenging questions of health professions education and clinical teachers who wish to both advance their practice and envision for themselves a collaborative role in scholarly educational innovation. This audience of researchers, clinicians and educators is both international and interdisciplinary.
The journal has a long history. In 1982, the journal was founded by the Dutch Association for Medical Education, as a Dutch language journal (Netherlands Journal of Medical Education). As a Dutch journal it fuelled educational research and innovation in the Netherlands. It is one of the factors for the Dutch success in medical education. In 2012, it widened its scope, transforming into an international English language journal. The journal swiftly became international in all aspects: the readers, authors, reviewers and editorial board members.
The editorial board members represent the different parental disciplines in the field of medical education, e.g. clinicians, social scientists, biomedical scientists, statisticians and linguists. Several of them are leading scholars. Three of the editors are in the top ten of most cited authors in the medical education field. Two editors were awarded the Karolinska Institute Prize for Research. Presently, Erik Driessen leads the journal as Editor in Chief.
Perspectives on Medical Education is highly visible thanks to its unrestricted online access policy. It is sponsored by theThe Netherlands Association of Medical Education and offers free manuscript submission.
