Teaching Pediatrics Residents a Communication Framework for Delivering Difficult News: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Practice Methods
Objectives
1) Improve resident skills in delivering difficult news (DDN) by educating pediatric residents using a communication framework with validity evidence, the m-SPIKES (an acronym for modified setting, perception, involvement, knowledge, empathy, and summarize/strategize) framework. 2) Determine whether small-group practice with peer role-play or Rapid cycle deliberate practice (RCDP) simulation is a more effective practice modality for improving DDN.
Methods
Institutional review board-exempt single-institution pilot randomized controlled trial involving 28 pediatric residents. Residents attended an educational intervention that consisted of a large-group didactic session to learn the m-SPIKES framework followed by randomization into either peer role-play or RCDP groups for small-group practice. The residents completed pre- and postsurveys regarding self-efficacy in DDN using a Likert scale and were evaluated for fundamental communication skills and mastery of m-SPIKES by trained faculty during a simulation with a standardized patient before and after the educational intervention. Data were analyzed using bivariate inferential statistical analysis with t tests.
Results
After the educational intervention, residents in both cohorts were found to have significantly increased self-efficacy in DDN, fundamental communication skills, and overall mastery of the use of m-SPIKES (P ≤ .001). The 2 cohorts had similar improvements in self-efficacy (P = .223) and fundamental communication skills (P = .306); however, the peer role-play showed a significant improvement in mastery of m-SPIKES when compared to the RCDP group (P = .046).
Conclusions
While this educational intervention demonstrated a significant improvement in DDN skills for all residents in both the peer role-play and RCDP groups, more studies are needed to determine whether the use of RCDP is advantageous in communication education.
期刊介绍:
Academic Pediatrics, the official journal of the Academic Pediatric Association, is a peer-reviewed publication whose purpose is to strengthen the research and educational base of academic general pediatrics. The journal provides leadership in pediatric education, research, patient care and advocacy. Content areas include pediatric education, emergency medicine, injury, abuse, behavioral pediatrics, holistic medicine, child health services and health policy,and the environment. The journal provides an active forum for the presentation of pediatric educational research in diverse settings, involving medical students, residents, fellows, and practicing professionals. The journal also emphasizes important research relating to the quality of child health care, health care policy, and the organization of child health services. It also includes systematic reviews of primary care interventions and important methodologic papers to aid research in child health and education.
