Perspective-Taking and Perspective-Sharing in Pediatric Education: Exploring Connections Between Strategies of Medical Students and Patients' Caregivers.

Introduction: In pediatric education, caregivers are increasingly involved to share their perspective. Yet, an in-depth understanding of the perspective-taking process between medical students and caregivers is lacking. This study explored: 1) Which strategies do medical students use to take a caregiver's perspective and which facilitators and constraints do they perceive? 2) Which strategies do caregivers use to share their perspective with students? and 3) How do students' perspective-taking strategies relate to caregivers' perspective-sharing strategies?

Methods: In an online lesson: two caregivers of pediatric patients, shared their story with 27 fourth-year Dutch medical students.
