To explore the self-reported value of Peer Review Groups (PRGs) by Australian psychiatrists, focussing on learning and wellbeing.
A cross-sectional mixed-methods online survey of psychiatrists registered with the NSW Branch Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) who had attended a PRG in the previous 12 months.
Respondents described PRG participation as supportive to their learning and to their professional wellbeing by sharing professional experiences, emotional support for the inherent stresses of practice, the provision of a space for debriefing and the amelioration of professional isolation. Difficulties or challenges in group functioning were reported rarely and included new group member selection and limitations to individual support provided by the group.
The PRG form of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is unique, popular and highly valued by psychiatrists. In addition to supporting learning, PRGs provide a collegial space for processing of emotional aspects of practice that in turn supports wellbeing. Other healthcare professionals might benefit from similar self-directed, self-selected small group peer contact for CPD.
探索澳大利亚精神科医生自我报告的同行评审小组（PRG）的价值，重点是学习和幸福感。
对在过去 12 个月内参加过 PRG 的新南威尔士州分会皇家澳大利亚和新西兰精神病学院（RANZCP）注册的精神科医生进行了横断面混合方法在线调查。
受访者描述说，通过分享专业经验、为实践固有的压力提供情感支持、为汇报和减轻职业孤立提供空间，PRG 参与对他们的学习和职业幸福感有帮助。很少有人报告小组功能方面的困难或挑战，包括新小组成员的选择和小组提供的个别支持的局限性。
PRG 形式的继续专业发展（CPD）是独特的、受欢迎的，并且受到精神科医生的高度重视。除了支持学习外，PRG 还为处理实践中情感方面提供了一个同事空间，从而支持幸福感。其他医疗保健专业人员可能会从类似的自我指导、自我选择的小型小组同伴联系中受益于 CPD。
