Is Mindful Reflective Practice the way forward to reduce medication errors?

Abstract

Mindfulness Reflective Practice could therefore represent an important element in pre-registration education and continual professional development for pharmacists and other healthcare professionals.

A mixed‐methods systematic review of the effects of mindfulness on nurses

“…Generally speaking, the effects on work performance and work organization were overlooked in quantitative studies, although mindfulness appears to be associated with improved work performance (Dane & Brummel , Gärtner , Pezzolesi et al . , Grégoire & Lachance , Reb et al . ) and decreased turnover intentions in various workplaces (Dane & Brummel , Reb et al .…”

“…In addition, very few studies measured work-specific variables, mainly because of the use of generic psychological measurement instruments not specific to the work context. Generally speaking, the effects on work performance and work organization were overlooked in quantitative studies, although mindfulness appears to be associated with improved work performance (Dane & Brummel 2013, G€ artner 2013, Pezzolesi et al 2013, Gr egoire & Lachance 2015, Reb et al 2015 and decreased turnover intentions in various workplaces (Dane & Brummel 2013, Reb et al 2015. Conversely, results from qualitative studies shed further light on these work-related aspects that have been overlooked in quantitative studies.…”

“…Mindfulness-based interventions implemented in workplaces have been shown to improve employees' mental health (Chaskalson 2011, Glomb et al 2011, Wolever et al 2012, H€ ulsheger et al 2013, Hanson & Richardson 2014, Gr egoire & Lachance 2015, Virgili 2015. As Gr egoire and Lachance (2015) underline, a mindfulness practice has been found to have positive impacts on work-life balance (Allen & Kiburz 2012), work satisfaction (Weiss & Cropanzano 1996, H€ ulsheger et al 2013, emotion regulation (Glomb et al 2011, Allen & Kiburz 2012, empathy and quality of relationships (Brown et al 2007, Hanson & Richardson 2014, leadership development (Baron & Cayer 2011), readiness for change (G€ artner 2013), work performance (Dane & Brummel 2013, Pezzolesi et al 2013, Reb et al 2015, turnover intentions (Dane & Brummel 2013, Reb et al 2015 and client satisfaction (Gr egoire & Lachance 2015).…”

A Conceptual Model Incorporating Mindfulness to Enhance Reflection in a Situated Learning Environment

“…While the relationship between mindfulness and reflection-in-action has been discussed in other areas including social work, medical education, organizational management and servicelearning, little attention has been given to this topic within situated learning (Alrutz & Stewart, 2012;Jordan et al, 2009;Mishna & Bogo, 2007;Pezzolesi, Ghaleb, Kostrzewski, & Dhillon, 2013). A conceptual model of instruction that promotes reflection-in-action by integrating mindfulness for situated learning is needed to help provide a foundation not only for designers, but also for future research.…”
