Improving medical students’ learning strategies, management of workload and wellbeing: a mixed methods case study in undergraduate medical education
Providing medical students with the tools to change their approach to work and revision can improve subjective reports of time management, implementation of successful learning strategies and wellbeing. Successful outcomes were associated with self-efficacy and mindset. These are modifiable constructs, and this work suggests that focussing conversations on self-efficacy and mindset may be beneficial for supporting positive behaviour change.
