[This Evidence Search has found reflective practice is recognised as one of the
determining factors in health and social care professionals' skills development
and maintenance, as well as in the establishment of good collaboration
practices. Regular reflective practice within a large group setting has also
been shown to reduce levels of burnout in healthcare professionals and enable
staff to improve the skills they need to provide patients with psychological
support.]

Unacceptable behaviours between healthcare workers: just the tip of the
patient safety iceberg.
Bamberger E. BMJ Quality & Safety 2022;31(9):638-641.
[Since the publication of the 1999 ‘To Err is Human’ report by the Institute of
Medicine, healthcare researchers have been attentive to factors potentially
associated with iatrogenic risk, or in other words medical care that
exacerbates or complicates an existing patient condition. While studies have
explored a variety of patient factors and situational constraints, the risks
posed by negative interpersonal interactions in healthcare contexts remain
understudied and poorly understood...]

Beyond
black and white: an inclusive reciprocal mentoring model to promote diversity,
engagement and understanding.
Sarsah H. British Journal of Healthcare Management 2022;28(8):1-5.
[The NHS is the largest employer of Black, Asian and minority ethnic staff in
the UK. However, 15% of staff from these ethnic backgrounds have reported
experiencing discrimination at work. This article explores how a programme
based on reciprocal mentoring could be an effective means of creating a more
inclusive NHS culture, with discussion of a pilot reciprocal mentoring programme
that was implemented at Chelsea and Westminster Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
from September 2020 to May 2021.]

Poor leaders feed on illusory insecurity.
Foster S. British Journal of Nursing 2022;31(14):761.
[Although I believe that it is important to consider the evidence base of what
great leadership looks like, I think that it is equally important to learn from
the negative impact of poor leadership. A powerful quote that made me reflect
on workplace culture recently came from Robson (2017). She cited US author Tim
Ferriss, who stated that, as a teenager, he was advised: ‘You are the average
of the five people you most associate with.’]

credibility to make effective change. How can we support more clinicians to

Drivers of professional fulfillment and burnout among
emergency medicine faculty: a national wellness survey by the Society for
Academic Emergency Medicine.
Lu DW. Academic Emergency Medicine 2022;29(8):987-998.
[Individual and workplace factors that contributed to professional fulfillment
and burnout were identified, with meaningfulness of clinical work demonstrating
the strongest association with both occupational phenomena. Knowledge of which
factors are most impactful in promoting professional fulfillment and mitigating
burnout may be useful in guiding efforts to enhance clinician well-being.]
Examining organisational responses to performance-based financial incentive
systems: a case study using NHS staff influenza vaccination rates from
2012/2013 to 2019/2020.
Liaqat A. BMJ Quality & Safety 2022;31(9):642-651.
[Conclusions: We provide compelling evidence that performance-based financial
incentives produced threshold effects. Policymakers who set such incentives are
encouraged to track threshold effects since they contain information on how
organisations are responding to an incentive, what enquiries they may wish to
make, how the incentive may be improved and what unintended effects it may be
having.]

actions to understand and navigate the diverse interests that complicate
change. This study concludes with a set of co-designed learning resources and
materials to support future leaders to develop similar skills and strategies.
Further evidence is needed on the contribution of the learning resources on
leadership activities and to understand the contribution of political skills to
other areas of service governance.]

Impact of unacceptable behaviour between healthcare workers
on clinical performance and patient outcomes: a systematic review.
Guo L. BMJ Quality & Safety 2022;31(9):679-687.
[Conclusions: Despite the mixed quality of evidence and some inconsistencies in
the strengths of associations reported, the overall weight of evidence shows
that unacceptable behaviour negatively affects the clinical performance of
HCWs, quality of care, workplace productivity and patient outcomes. Future
research should focus on the evaluation and implementation of interventions
that reduce the frequency of these behaviours.]
