“…The study results showed variability in growth and fixed mindsets across participants with values ranging from 30%‐90% depending on the domain measured; however, one study did not report the growth mindset measures 35 . There were some correlations of fixed mindsets with measures of stress and anxiety, while a growth mindset was correlated with psychological well‐being 25,29,33 .…”

“…There were some correlations of fixed mindsets with measures of stress and anxiety, while a growth mindset was correlated with psychological well‐being 25,29,33 . Conversely, several studies showed no to minimal correlation with self‐reported medical errors, grade point average, communication and mental health aspects 24,26,32,35 . Only one research study evaluated the impact on mindset measures following a programme implementation—this study included a one‐hour educational intervention with 35 nursing students and demonstrated a statistically significant increase in the self‐reported growth mindset measures 36 …”

Introduction Growth mindset is a motivation theory proposed by Carol Dweck that posits our beliefs about intelligence, and the ability to change mindsets can have impacts on how we approach challenges, respond to criticism challenges and orient our goals. This study characterised articles on growth mindset theory in health professions education to: summarise the aspects of growth mindset being researched, describe the discussed benefits of growth mindset theory and outline strategies discussed that may promote a growth mindset. Methods A systematic review of the literature yielded 4927 articles—articles were reviewed and excluded if they were outside of health professions education and did not discuss Dweck's growth mindset theory. The final review yielded 14 research articles and 13 commentaries, which were characterised and analysed using content analysis. Results The included articles were published in 2016 and beyond; the articles represented a diverse context, participant type and approach. Most research studies measured participant mindsets and evaluated the correlation with other variables (eg grit, well‐being, anxiety). Articles often highlighted benefits and strategies to promote a growth mindset at the learner, educator and organisation level. The most common learner benefits were to help them be more receptive to feedback as well as increased resiliency and perseverance, educator benefits focused on supporting collaborative relationships and safe learning environments. The most prevalent strategies discussed were teaching learners about growth mindset theory, shifting faculty feedback to emphasise effort and to prioritise feedback across the organisation. Conclusion The growth mindset framework has been shown in other fields to help others manage educational challenges and enhance learning environments. Researchers are encouraged to explore how interventions such as teaching about and prioritising a growth mindset can support learners, health care professionals, educators and organisations.

Teamwork is a necessary pharmacist skill, but early pharmacy and interprofessional education frequently lack direct instruction on conflict management skills within team communication. Mindset may also impact team functioning. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of a teamwork workshop on growth mindset and team communication. Methods. A multi-week workshop was developed for first-year pharmacy students. The workshop included completion of StrengthFinders2.0, a session on identifying individual and team member strengths, a session on situational communication and conflict resolution models, and two pharmacy scenarios requiring conflict resolution. The workshop was delivered to two intervention groups (Fall2019 and Fall2018) and compared to a control group (Fall2017). A pre-post survey measured change in growth mindset and team communication utilizing the validated "Growth Mindset and Team Communication" (GMTC) tool. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent sample t-tests, and chi-square tests to compare difference and association. Focus groups were conducted in Fall2017 and Fall2018 to assess qualitative student views regarding teamwork. Results. Comparing pre-and post-survey assessments, the team communication subscale increased significantly for the intervention group compared to the control group which had no significant change. Qualitative results of focus groups reflected overall positive views of team communication and collaboration, which was contextualized by discussions of advantages and challenges during teamwork. Conclusion.The teamwork workshop affected team communication abilities. An early workshop may provide necessary teamwork skills for team improvement. Future work will focus on longitudinal measurement of self-views to determine the long-term impact of teamwork training interventions.
