Enhancing Professional Development and Emotional Resilience: The Role of Modified Balint Groups for Dental Practitioners. A Qualitative Study.
Introduction: Eleven dental practitioners, aged 25-33, participated in two successive Balint groups (BGs) at our tertiary institute. A mental health professional and an oral medicine specialist co-led each session.
Aims: To qualitatively assess the potential of a modified Balint group (BG) to serve as a reflective model for enhancing emotional resilience and professional growth among dental practitioners in the unique environment of dental practice.
Materials and methods: Data were collected via semi-structured interviews conducted by a clinical psychologist. Interviews were audio-recorded and subsequently transcribed verbatim. The analysis yielded several key themes and subthemes reflecting participants' attitudes towards the group and its facilitators.
Results: The analysis revealed four key themes that characterised the participants' experiences: professional growth opportunities, shared experiences and emotional support, perceptions of group leadership and format, and suggestions for group improvement.
Discussion: The unique framework of modified Balint groups displays the potential to contribute to dental practitioners' development in several key areas, including professional identity formation, peer-to-peer experiential learning, mental well-being, and enhanced motivation. However, it is important to acknowledge that Balint groups may not be universally suitable, and they present inherent challenges and obstacles for both participants and facilitators.
Conclusions: Careful consideration of the unique needs of group participants is essential to fostering a constructive environment conducive to achieving the intended goals of the intervention.
