The Value of the Peer Review Process of offering Feedback as a Future DNP-Prepared Nurse Leader
Peer review refers to team-based learning adopted to encourage reflection on individual behavior, offer professional skills development opportunities, and encourage people to contribute effectively to discussions or teamwork. Students have an amazing ability to offer meaningful and positive feedback, including helping their peers identify areas of improvement. But some students or peers might be shy or reluctant to correct their peers or indicate areas of improvement (Burgess et al., 2021). Peer review is an approach adopted to improve peer engagement, incorporate peer feedback in discussions, monitor outcomes and adequate knowledge, skills, and competency development and acquisition. It allows peers to be accountable, not only to their educators but also to their peers. It requires learners to work in teams, help each other synthesize information, and communicate with one another. Offering and getting feedback ensures effective learning experience among learners, developing reflective learners who can analyze their own and peers’ performance. Furthermore, it helps develop positive views and attitudes towards change and has a greater impact than feedback offered by faculty.
As a future DNP-prepared nurse leader, peer review allows learners to develop multiple professional skills relevant to professional practice, including communication, organizational skills, problem-solving, teamwork, and individual and team accountability, which are critical to a successful career and fulfilment of expected roles and responsibilities. I have had the opportunity to offer peer review in topic discussion responses. In most courses, students are required to complete weekly discussions and respond to at least two classmates, critiquing, supporting, reflecting on, and offering more insights regarding their peers’ discussion posts. I have learned many concepts and expounded my understanding of course concepts from these peer responses, and I appreciate every opportunity I get to learn from others or offer positive and meaningful feedback to my peers.
