TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING By Reflection

Empathic Identification with Patients (Philosophy of Caring)

While drawing blood for gas measurements from a dying non-English-speaking man, a student communicated with him “through the anguish on my face” so that he would know “that I was suffering along with him.”

TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING Reflection on Students’ Narratives

Moral Dissonance With the Team’s Values (Moral Development)

An indigent woman refused to see a medical student in the walk-in clinic. The attending physician explained that it was a teaching unit” and the patient “had no choice.” The patient stormed out. The student wondered “how this patient, who fit the bill for the type of person I had always seen myself helping, actually saw me aligned with Dr. N. against her.” Branch WT Jr, Pels RJ, Lawrence RS, Arky RA.

EXAMPLE OF THE “INFORMAL” EXPERIENCES OF A 2ND YEAR RESIDENT

When I was in the MICU, I was called by cross-cover to evaluate a patient for transfer. She had a slightly altered mental status and was hypotensive….We were giving her fluids, blood, pressors; it was around midnight. I got another admission and went to the ER to start seeing him. The first patient coded, and I went up to take care of her again. It was a terrible, endless, isolated night. I went back to the ER to see the new admission, and another code as called. I went to that. I was the only resident who responded. That patient died. I went back ot the ER, but another code was called in the MICU…..When I got to the MICU, my intern was running the code, and then we called and the patient was dead…..

EXAMPLE OF THE “INFORMAL” EXPERIENCES OF A 2ND YEAR RESIDENT

(Cont’d) ….The next morning on rounds, my attending asked how

many had survived. He said we didn’t need to talk about any

that had died….It was a hellish night of nearly unbearable

stress and in the morning it was never acknowledged, as if it

had never happened, as if (my patients) had never existed…..

What bothers me most about it, was that I felt completely flat.

They were dead, and I didn’t feel anything at all. Brady, D, Branch WT, et al. The Use of Narratives Ann Inter Med 2002;137:220

WHAT LIES BEHIND THE INFORMAL

CURRICULUM

Interns begin by seeking their professional identities

The middle years: potential burnout and disillusionment

Possible defenses: -distancing (loss of empathy) -in-group behavior (sardonic humor) -loss of moral sensitivity

The final year of training: reconciliation and rediscovery of professional and moral values

SEMINAL EVENT circa 1965

“I remember going with a mentor regularly on bedside rounds even before I entered medical school. Rounds were quite a pageant with the great professor, his fellows, the residents, and finally the medical students trailing behind. I became increasingly fascinated with the patients’ stories, which came tumbling out as my mentor seemingly magically opened some a lock around the patient’s heart.

SEMINAL EVENT

“……The professor began exploring what the patient thought had triggered these life-threatening events. She told the story of her life in Germany and survival in a concentration camp, her attempts to smuggle food to her parents and siblings, and her despair and guilt when they were exterminated. When she was done, he turned slowly to face the group. Tears were streaming down his face. I will never forget that moment. I know he was teaching me what it meant to be a doctor.

ACTIVE ROLE MODELING Teachable Moment - SEMINAL EVENT

“A new third year student was assigned to my office.

The patient was a thirty-eight year old woman who was just coming in to establish care. The student found that the patient had lost twenty pounds in the previous four months which she had attributed to working hard and eating less. We ordered an HIV test, which came back positive.”

SEMINAL EVENT Active Role Modeling with Reflection

“I told the student that I wanted her to come with me when the patient returned. I also gave her an article on delivering bad news and we talked about the strategies mentioned. The student was with me when I told the patient the results. We sat and listened as the patient started to digest the news. We had quite a long wait during which both the patient and the student began crying. After the patient left we discussed how we felt about the visit.

PAUSE FOR REFLECTION

Ask reflective questions

Consider: What would the student say about this

learning? If asked weeks or months after the event? Consider: What would the teacher say about it?

2525

Page 26: Branch Plenary ICCH09 PowerPoint

ACTIVE LEARNING IN CLINICAL SETTINGS

In bedside teaching of humanism, active learning generally coincides with teaching rounds.

A “teachable moment” is utilized by an attending who

has won the team’s trust.

Learners are “primed” to observe and/or participate in the patient-interaction.

Feedback and reflection are key components, necessary

in learning for psychological growth.

o Examples of reflection: “What did we learn from this? How do you think the patient felt? What made this work for the patient?” “Can we spend this much time with our patients?”
