Abstract
Background: To train physicians who will respond to patients’ evolving needs and expectations, medical schools must seek educational strategies to foster the development of non-technical competencies in students. This article aims to synthetize studies that focus on patient engagement in medical training as a promising strategy to foster the development of those competencies.
Methods: We conducted a rapid review of the literature to synthetize primary quantitative, qualitative and mixed studies (January 2000-January 2022) describing patient engagement interventions in medical education and reporting non-technical learning outcomes. Studies were extracted from Medline and ERIC. Two independent reviewers were involved in study selection and data extraction. A narrative synthesis of results was performed.
Results: Of the 3875 identified, 24 met the inclusion criteria and were retained. We found evidence of a range of non-technical educational outcomes (e. g. attitudinal changes, new knowledge and understanding). Studies also described various approaches regarding patient recruitment, preparation, and support and participation design (e.g., contact duration, learning environment, patient autonomy, and format). Some emerging practical suggestions are proposed.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that patient engagement in medical education can be a valuable means to foster a range of non-technical competencies, as well as formative and critical reflexivity. They also suggest conditions under which patient engagement practices can be more efficient in fostering non-instrumental patient roles in different educational contexts. This supports a plea for sensible and responsive interventional approaches.
Résumé
Contexte : Pour former des médecins aptes à répondre aux besoins et attentes évolutifs des patients, les facultés de médecine doivent trouver des stratégies éducatives pour stimuler le développement de compétences non techniques chez les étudiants. Cet article vise à synthétiser les études qui traitent de la participation des patients à la formation médicale comme stratégie prometteuse pour favoriser le développement de ces compétences.
Méthodes : Nous avons effectué une revue rapide de la littérature pour synthétiser les études primaires quantitatives, qualitatives et mixtes (janvier 2000-janvier 2022) qui décrivent des interventions visant l’engagement des patients dans la formation médicale et qui font état de résultats d’apprentissage non technique. Les études ont été extraites de Medline et d’ERIC. Deux examinateurs indépendants ont participé à la sélection des études et à l’extraction des données. Une synthèse narrative des résultats est présentée.
Résultats : Parmi les 3875 études recensées, 24 répondaient aux critères d’inclusion et ont été retenues. Ces études font état d’apprentissages non techniques (par exemple, des changements d’attitude, des compréhensions et connaissances nouvelles). Les études décrivent également diverses approches de recrutement et de préparation des patients, et diverses manières de concevoir leur participation (par exemple, la durée du contact, l’environnement d’apprentissage, l’autonomie du patient et le format) et le soutien pédagogique qui en découle. Quelques suggestions pratiques émergentes sont proposées.
Conclusion : D’après nos résultats, l’engagement du patient dans l’éducation médicale constitue une avenue prometteuse pour favoriser le développement d’une panoplie de compétences non techniques, tout comme la réflexivité formative et critique des étudiants. Ils indiquent également certaines conditions et contextes éducatifs qui favorisent la participation non instrumentale des patients. Il s’agit d’un plaidoyer en faveur d’interventions éducatives centrées sur les besoins et préoccupations des acteurs impliqués et sur les particularités des contextes locaux.
