In our latest episode Michael Dunne sits down with Lynn Monrouxe to chat about his recent paper

"Exploring the outcomes of a reflective teaching strategy with students: A feasibility study"

They discuss the value of reflection as a learning strategy for educators and health professionals, focusing on speech-language pathology students in Australia. They sought to address the challenge of diverse understandings of reflection and its implementation. The findings revealed that diversity in reflection approaches among students can promote engagement when fostered in a supportive learning environment, emphasizing the need for safe and timely reflection interventions to enhance students' reflective skills in real-world contexts.

In our latest episode, Sarah Kobayashi and Jillain Eyles sit down with Lynn Monrouxe to chat about their recent paper

"A framework to guide the development of healthcare professional education and training in best evidence osteoarthritis care"

They discuss how their paper addresses the significant issue of inadequate care for osteoarthritis (OA), a leading cause of disability. They further highlight how despite clinical recommendations for educating patients on OA management, exercise, and weight control, many individuals with OA do not receive the necessary care. The article introduces a comprehensive framework for the development and assessment of education and training programs aimed at enhancing Health Care Professionals' ability to provide evidence-based OA care. The framework covers overarching principles, core capabilities, theories of learning, and methods for evaluating education and training initiatives.

In our latest episode, Samantha Schubert (University of Sydney) Niels Buus (Monash University, Melbourne) and Caroline Hunt (University of Sydney)sit down with Lynn Monrouxe to chat about their recent paper "Interrogation in clinical supervision sessions: Exploring the construction of clinical psychology trainees’ professional identities". They discuss how the paper addresses the intricate process of professional socialization in clinical psychology trainee supervision to uncover how supervision interactions impact the development of novice healthcare professionals' identities. Through the analysis of 12 audio-recorded interactions, the research identifies moments of interrogation initiated by supervisors, revealing two distinct frames - quality control and reflection - that influence trainees' positions, often resulting in a shift back to quality control.

In our latest episode, Belinda Judd from the University of Sydney and Marlena Calo from La Trobe University, sit down with Lynn Monrouxe to chat about their recent paper "Grit, Resilience, Mindset, and Academic Success in Physical Therapist Students: A Cross-Sectional, Multicenter Study". They explore the relationship between noncognitive traits, academic success, and clinical performance in physical therapist students. The researchers examined the levels of grit, resilience, and mindset type among final-year students from Australian universities. They found that grit played a crucial role in predicting overall academic success and clinical performance. Students with low levels of grit were more likely to fail clinical placements. These findings have significant implications for universities and educators, highlighting the importance of identifying and supporting students with low grit. Join us as we discuss the impact of this study and the potential interventions that can help develop grit in health professional students, ultimately improving their success and well-being.

In our latest episode Jennie Brentnall and Belinda Judd from the University of Sydney, chat with Lynn Monrouxe about their paper "Evaluating allied health students' readiness for placement learning". They delve into student readiness for work integrated learning placements and explore the challenges faced by health professional students, the importance of adequate preparation for placement learning, and the concept of 'readiness for learning on placement' as a construct. Immerse yourself in insightful conversations that uncover the significance of this research, its impact on student feedback and assessment, and the potential to enhance the quality of healthcare education.

In this months episode, Professor Lynn Monrouxe speaks to A/Prof Gillian Nisbet from The University of Sydney and Tanya Thompson from South Western Sydney LHD about their collaborative study "From burden to benefit: a multi-site study of the impact of allied health work-based learning placements on patient care quality". Tanya and Gillian speak about their collaborative partnership approach, and whether the quality of patient care was enhanced when services were re-designed in this way. They discuss their findings, providing preliminary evidence towards improved patient care when a partnering approach is adopted which shifts the associated narrative from students as additional burden to students as benefit.

In this months episode, Professor Lynn Monrouxe speaks to Jacqueline Bloomfield from the Susan Wakil School of Nursing and Midwifery and Carl Schneider, Sydney Pharmacy School, Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney, on their quasi-experimental pre-test post-test study on large-scale introductory interprofessional education workshop for developing interprofessional socialisation in medical, nursing and pharmacy students. They discuss methodology and findings, which support the implementation of IPE for nursing, and pharmacy students, with a recommendation that these initiatives are introduced at an early stage in their education to promote interprofessional socialisation and are repeated throughout the curricula.

Join Professor Lynn Monrouxe, Convenor of Waranara and Dr Ryan Naylor, Sydney School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney as they discuss Ryan's paper "Key factors influencing psychological distress in university students: the effects of tertiary entrance scores". Ryan and Lynn will discuss the importance of self-determination theory (SDT) and the job demands-resources (JD-R) in explaining psychological distress among students. The paper finds that motivational pathways may be more important for well-being among well-prepared students, whereas less prepared students may benefit from support in meeting study- and life demands. Interesting! We may require different strategies for different cohorts when supporting well-being in higher education.

Ryan Taylor from the Sydney School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney and Waranara convenor, Lynn Monrouxe, sit down to discuss his co-authored paper "Academic expectations among university students and staff: addressing the role of psychological contracts and social norms". The paper explores student expectations of required workload, behaviour, resource use, role and relationship and the profound impact on success in higher education and inform satisfaction with their learning experience. We will discuss teachers’ expectations of students’ behaviour and the similar effect to the university learning experience and environment. Ryan will outline the areas highlighted in the study where the academic expectations of students and staff aligned or diverged and understand responses to any breaches of expectations.
