Background: Multisource feedback provides ratings of a trainee doctor's performance from a range of assessors and enables 360 degree feedback on communication skills and team working behaviours. It is a tool used throughout palliative medicine training in the UK. There are limited data on the value of multisource feedback from a palliative medicine trainee perspective.
Aim: To study the views of palliative medicine trainees regarding multisource feedback as an educational tool to develop communication skills.
Design: A multimodal study encompassing a focus group and questionnaire mailed to all deanery palliative doctors.
Setting/participants: All palliative medicine trainees within a UK training deanery.
Results: Over half of responding trainees thought multisource feedback had little or no impact on their clinical practice. Improvements in delivery of multisource feedback to maximise learning were identified, including skilled feedback and facilitation by educational supervisors.
Conclusions: Despite multisource feedback currently having limited benefits, a number of recommendations are suggested to improve this.

Gaining Insight into Operative Performance: Analysis of an Automated 360-Degree Feedback Tool Among Perioperative Staff.
Ann Surg Open
December 2024
From the Department of Surgery, Brigham & Women's Hospital, Boston, MA.
Background: Surgery has seen limited adoption of 360-degree feedback tools, and no current tools evaluate intraoperative performance from a technical, nontechnical, or teaching skill perspective. We sought to evaluate the overall findings and perceived value of a novel 360-degree feedback tool for surgeons from their operating room colleagues.
Methods: The 'intraoperative 360' (i360) combined 3 previously validated scales of surgeon performance.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines how nurse supervisors' Dark Triad personality traits—Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy—affect nurses' job performance through factors like work design and psychological safety.
- A multisource method involved 256 manager-nurse pairs in different healthcare settings, with nurses reporting on their work experiences while managers assessed their own personality traits and their nurses' performance.
- Results indicated that while psychopathy negatively impacts performance directly, other traits affect it indirectly through influences on psychological safety and nurses' perceptions of their work environment.
