ABSTRACT
Background:
The corona pandemic is changing the framework conditions for medical studies and continuing education as well as the work with patients and within teams. Systematic reflection and communication about experiences and ways of dealing with them forms the basis for successful learning in and out of the crisis. Therefore, we designed a 90-minute workshop "Corona-Debriefing" for students and physicians in specialist-training in family medicine (ÄiW) using three successive moderated interaction phases Questionnaire survey via tele-dialogue voting (TED) with immediate presentation of results and discussion, moderated experience reports on the categories risk/assessment/support/coping and finally moderated group discussions in small groups to collect "best practice" examples of crisis management.Objective:
We tested "Corona-Debriefing" as a pilot test with 48 participants (TN) in July 2020 (30 present, 14 online) in order to assess mental stress and risk perception of participants plus formative/brief summative evaluation of the workshop.Methods:
The PHQ-4 with its subscales GAD-2 (anxiety) and PHQ-2 (depression) was used to assess mental stress; risk assessments were made by means of self-constructed 5-point Likert-scales for the dimensions person/society/health/economy. A formative evaluation was carried out by means of a questionnaire at the end of the event; the brief summative assessment was asked for by means of a school grading scale.Results:
37 complete TED questionnaires and 22 evaluations were obtained. TN showed a low personal risk assessment, but considerable fears about social and economic developments. Needs are seen mainly in improvements regarding organization, protective equipment and technical communication (e.g. official recommendations for action). The workshop was rated "good" or "very good" in 95% of the evaluations. Criticism was directed at the limited time available, the narrowing of topics by moderators and the desire for (even) more room for the exchange of personal experiences.Conclusion:
The workshop "Corona-Debriefing" is a relatively easy way to use crisis experiences for learning processes. "Corona-Debriefing" can be used by changing the focus of moderation in various courses, years or fields of study, whereby the participants' own personal and clinical crisis experiences remain a prerequisite for a meaningful "debriefing".Keywords
