Objective: This pilot study tested a tool that collects patient feedback on trainees' skills in shared decision-making (SDM) and general consultation. It also examined trainees' views on SDM and patient feedback, exploring potential skills improvement through reflexive practice.
Methods: Patients were asked to rate trainees after consultation in a six-itemed questionnaire. The questionnaire included 'CollaboRATE' (a validated tool to test SDM), the 'Net Promoter Score' and two open-ended questions. Questionnaire results were described quantitatively and tested for differences. Results were presented to trainees at three intervals. Trainees were interviewed afterwards. Interview transcripts were thematically analysed.
Results: Eleven trainees in Obstetrics and Gynaecology participated. Out of 1651 sent questionnaires 399 were returned (response rate 24%). Questionnaire results showed no differences when comparing trainees or group scores over time. Interview results were thematically analysed using the reflexivity framework. Trainees were able to reflect on their SDM skills. They valued receiving patient feedback, yet were able to formulate few learning points from it.
Conclusion: Although skills improvement was not evident, patient feedback still has potential benefits.
Practice Implications: Patient feedback should be combined with facilitated reflections at timely intervals to reinforce behaviour change. Supervisors play an important role in facilitating reflections with trainees.

Background: The utilization of standardized patient-rated outcome measures (PROMs) by hand therapists is essential to evaluate treatment and clinical outcomes and underpins evidence-based and patient-centered practice. However, research indicates that the routine use of PROMs is inconsistent in clinical practice.
Purpose: To explore the barriers and enablers experienced by hand therapists in the routine use of standardized and valid PROMs.

Building Surgical Character: A Dynamic Simulation Curriculum for Nontechnical Skills.
J Surg Educ

Department of Surgery, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina.
Objective: Previous simulation curricula of nontechnical skills have focused on communication skills or empathy in isolation from technical skills, using feedback from one rater. We aimed to develop and pilot an expanded simulation curriculum focused on situational performance of select character attributes with the goal of determining curricular feasibility, use of a novel psychometric rating tool, and receptivity of curriculum by participants.
Design: The simulation consisted of 2 contiguous parts requiring demonstration of both technical and nontechnical skills.

Background: The prevalence of stroke is high in both males and females, and it rises with age. Stroke often leads to sensor and motor issues, such as hemiparesis affecting one side of the body. Poststroke patients require torso stabilization exercises, but maintaining proper posture can be challenging due to their condition.
