229 Introducing Paediatric Bioethics Journal Clubs: Experience at a tertiary children’s hospital
2023
Overview
BackgroundJournal Clubs are well recognised and valuable training resources in the practice of evidence-based medicine.1 Given the increasing complexity and frequency of ethical dilemmas experienced in clinical practice, developing critical appraisal skills for ethics literature is needed.2AimTo describe the experience of, and feedback on, the first year of a Paediatric Ethics Journal Club offered to clinical departments at a tertiary children’s hospital.MethodsDuring 2022 the Paediatric Bioethics Centre offered a paediatric journal club sessions to all departments aiming to offer an avenue for dialogue on ethically challenging topics and to expand the bioethics centre’s engagement within the institution. Date, time and article(s) were arranged according to each department’s preferences. After each session, attendees were sent an online, voluntary, and anonymous electronic 10-item survey.Results8 JC session were held during 2020: One each for the Paediatric, Cardiac and Neonatal intensive Care Units (ICU) and for Radiology, Palliative Care, Genetics, Transplant and Neuro-disability teams. From a total of 130 attendees, (mean 16, range 10–25), we received 31 complete survey responses (23.8% response rate). All respondents rated the session quality as excellent or good (n=31, 100%), and considered the session was extremely/very (n=28) or somewhat (n=5) relevant to their work. All said they would like more ethics JC sessions, with 27 (87%) very likely to recommend it to a colleague. Ensuring broader access to the target article before the session, and promoting wider multidisciplinary attendance, were the main suggestions for improvement.ConclusionWe describe the introduction of Paediatric Bioethics Journal clubs to our children’s hospital. They proved a well-received educational activity and feedback from participants, although moderate response rate, was overall very positive. Strengthening advertising to promote greater and more diverse participation is needed.ReferencesAweid B, Haider Z, Wehbe M, Hunter A.
