Abstract
This study aimed to examine how healthcare workers, who have taken part in internal reflection meetings, and counselors, who lead the meetings, describe their experience, their understanding of the purpose of these meetings, and what this means for the healthcare workers' motivation to participate in the internal reflection meetings. The method used was a case study with semi-structured interviews. Two counselors and four healthcare workers participated.

This study found that the healthcare workers had only positive... (More)
This study aimed to examine how healthcare workers, who have taken part in internal reflection meetings, and counselors, who lead the meetings, describe their experience, their understanding of the purpose of these meetings, and what this means for the healthcare workers' motivation to participate in the internal reflection meetings. The method used was a case study with semi-structured interviews. Two counselors and four healthcare workers participated. Expectancy x value theory and Maslow’s theory of hierarchy of needs, two theories about motivation were used in analyzing the results to broaden and deepen the understanding of the healthcare workers' motivation to participate. This study found that the healthcare workers had only positive experiences of participating in internal reflection meetings. Their understanding of the purpose of the internal reflection meetings was to support emotional and mental health, to support better work-life balance,e and to help foster better collaboration between colleagues. Regarding the healthcare workers' motivation to participate this study found that the healthcare workers prioritized participating if they felt a strong need that could only be satisfied by participating in the meetings. Such instances could be if something especially upsetting had occurred at work recently concerning patients, or if tension between colleagues needed to be solved. This study also found that the decision to participate often could lie outside the healthcare workers' control and therefore not have much to do with motivation. Examples of this could be scheduling conflicts, having to prioritize caring for patients and other work-related tasks or the information about time and place for internal reflection meetings sometimes not reaching the healthcare workers. Stress could also be a reason the healthcare workers chose not to participate, in cases of high levels of stress the healthcare workers didn’t have the energy to participate. (Less)
