Breaking Bad News in Obstetrics: A Trial of Simulation-Debrief Based Education
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Breaking Bad News Skills, Communications Skills, Medical Education, Obstetrics, Simulation
In brief
The purpose of this study is to assess the utility of training in Breaking Bad News (BBN) skills. We hypothesize that given little or no formal training in breaking bad news, obstetric providers will benefit from a curriculum of teaching breaking bad news techniques, but will benefit more from a simulation teaching technique than from a lecture in breaking bad news techniques. The investigators also hypothesize that providers who have undergone breaking bad news simulation will receive improved scores after the simulation debriefing compared to their pre-simulation scores, and their improvement with be greater than the control group.
