SKIN: a four step method for navigating difficult conversations in dermatology
Diagnostic disclosure in the world of new technologies presents unique challenges. Studies investigating the role of dermatologists in breaking bad news and standard practices do not exist. To evaluate dermatologists’ perceptions, frequency, and attitudes towards breaking bad news and to create a practical guide for diagnostic disclosure. A national survey of 223 dermatologists (via the American Academy of Dermatology) assessed their comfort and training in breaking bad news. The responses were analyzed for patterns and gaps in preparedness. All dermatologists felt breaking bad news was an important daily task. However, many (40%) did not feel completely comfortable with diagnostic disclosure and often learned during practice (61%) or lacked any training in the task (17%). Dermatologists highlighted the need for additional resources; thus we created a guide for breaking bad news in dermatology which we called the SKIN (Set the stage, Knowledge, Inform, Next steps) approach. The SKIN approach offers a structured framework to improve dermatologists’ confidence and effectiveness in diagnostic disclosure. Incorporating formal training into medical education and residency programs could further enhance preparedness for this task.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Dermatological Research is a highly rated international journal that publishes original contributions in the field of experimental dermatology, including papers on biochemistry, morphology and immunology of the skin. The journal is among the few not related to dermatological associations or belonging to respective societies which guarantees complete independence. This English-language journal also offers a platform for review articles in areas of interest for dermatologists and for publication of innovative clinical trials.
