Title
Reflexivi-Tool: Development of a Practical Tool for Fostering Reflexivity in Family Medicine
Length of Presentation
Background/Purpose
In the last decade, reflexivity has emerged as a key concept in family medicine as evidenced by its increasing integration in competency statements and frameworks in the field. However, the growing variety of terms and definitions related to reflexivity have caused vagueness and hindered the concept's full application in training and professional practice. This project aimed to develop an educational tool to support the learning and teaching of reflexivity in family medicine.
Summary of the Innovation
The development of the tool is based on a systematic approach to educational design comprising five stages of development. The format and content of the tool were designed based on a needs assessment of clinical teachers affiliated with the Family Medicine Residency Program at Université Laval (Canada), as well as a rapid review on reflexivity in family medicine. The tool was disseminated in the 12 family medicine teaching clinics of the Université Laval network and then evaluated six months later using a survey among clinical teachers.
Results: "Reflexivi-Tool" presents four types of reflexivity (i.e. clinical, professional, relational, and socially responsible) in a concise way with related definitions, goals, processes, and sample question prompts for each reflexivity type. Our follow-up survey shows that Reflexivi-Tool is well appreciated by those using it, with a moderate uptake rate (46.1%) in the residency program.
Conclusion
Tools such as Reflexivi-Tool are crucial for supporting reflexive processes that target different aspects of professionalism, allowing not only improved clinical judgement and continued learning, but also a sense of social responsibility and moral commitment among practitioners.
