Background: Feedback plays a pivotal role in graduate medical education, where medical residents are expected to acquire a wide range of practical and professional competencies. Assessing the feedback delivery status is a preliminary step for educators to enhance the quality of feedback provided. This study aims to develop an instrument to assess the various aspects of feedback delivery in medical residency training.
Methods: The fifteen-item REFLECT (Residency Education Feedback Level Evaluation in Clinical Training) questionnaire was developed. The content validity was evaluated according to a panel member consisting of fourteen clinical professors and medical education instructors. After evaluating the test-retest reliability, the questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 154 medical residents and was further assessed in terms of internal consistency and factor analysis.
Results: Content validity analysis resulted in an appropriate content validity ratio and content validity index for the final 15 items. The test-retest reliability resulted in an ICC of 0.949 (95% C.I. 0.870-0.980), indicating excellent reliability. The Cronbach's alpha for the 15-item questionnaire was α = 0.85, demonstrating good internal consistency. The factor analysis resulted in a four-factor structure: "attitude towards feedback", "quality of feedback", "perceived importance of feedback", and "reaction to feedback".
Conclusions: REFLECT proved to a reliable tool that could be utilized as a quick assessment method of feedback delivery, making it a suitable aid for educational managers and faculties to design necessary interventions aiming to enhance the quantity and quality of feedback provided.

Dementia Care Practice.
Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA.
Background: The increasing population of older adults and growing number of disease-modifying therapies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) highlight the need for timely differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders despite high referral volumes. This study aimed to develop and pilot a brief neuropsychological battery to evaluate cognitive functioning in adults with suspected AD and improve service delivery by reducing the time between referral and diagnosis.
Methods: Patients were referred to the "early AD pathway" by their neurologist or geriatrician after an initial evaluation in an outpatient multidisciplinary dementia clinic.
Dementia Care Practice.
Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Background: One in four persons living with dementia are admitted to hospital, presenting challenges to them, their carers and staff. Despite global evidence demonstrating the clinical and cost-effectiveness of person-centered care (PCC), it is not yet business as usual across healthcare settings. We used multi-level stakeholder input to implement Kitwood's PCC model into a sub-acute setting.

Institute for Health System Solutions and Virtual Care, Women's College Research and Innovation Institute, Women's College Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Background: In Ontario, Canada, province-wide initiatives supporting safer opioid prescribing in primary care include voluntary audit and feedback reports and academic detailing. In this process evaluation, we aimed to determine the fidelity of delivery and receipt of the interventions, the observed change strategies used by physicians, potential mechanisms of action, and how complementary the initiatives can be to each other.
Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with academic detailers and with physicians who received both interventions.

January 2025
Paediatric Critical Care, Birmingham Children's Hospital, Birmingham, UK.
Background: Research has demonstrated that staff working in Paediatric Critical Care (PCC) experience high levels of burnout, post-traumatic stress and moral distress. There is very little evidence of how this problem could be addressed.
Aim: To develop evidence-based, psychologically informed interventions designed to improve PCC staff well-being that can be feasibility tested on a large scale.
Standardized Neonatal ICU Progress Note Template and Feedback System: A Clinical Documentation Improvement Initiative.
Cureus
December 2024
Neonatology, Tawam Hospital, Al Ain, ARE.
Introduction This quality improvement (QI) initiative aimed to improve the clinical documentation of daily progress notes in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) by applying a standardized documentation template and conducting regular cycles of audit and feedback to ensure compliance and improvement. Methods Firstly, to better assess documentation practices impacting patient care, members of the NICU auditing team identified seven key points in medical records. These points were then used for the audit of 30 randomly selected "progress notes" for infants admitted to the NICU between January and June 2022.
