Practice of Significant Event Analysis as a Vehicle of Remediation for Learners with Recognized Misconducts / 医学教育

ABSTRACT

Significant event analysis (SEA) is a method of reflecting on the cause of things in a semi-structural manner and utilizing the analysis in the planning of subsequent improvement measures. SEA can be applied to a wide variety of events. In the field of medicine, it is widely used as a tool for promoting patient safety by medical teams in nations such as the United Kingdom. In Japan, the subjects of SEA mainly reflect on their own behavior (reflection) to learn from their experience. Unlike the results of observations done by third parties, the results of self-reflection cannot be denie by the subjects. Therefore, this method is particularly suitable for events in which the actor has been greatly moved emotionally.　The first paper presents an individual SEA method that utilizes individual reflection to improve behavior, the second paper introduces a group SEA method to share lessons learned from individual reflections.
