Discussing the transition from active anti-cancer treatment to palliative care can be difficult for cancer patients and oncology health professionals (OHP). We developed a brief communication skills workshop to assist OHP with these conversations, and examined satisfaction with the workshop and perceived confidence regarding these discussions.
Interactive workshops were conducted by trained facilitators and included cognitive, behavioral, and experiential components. The major component of the workshop involved role-plays with trained actors (simulated patients). Participants completed an evaluation questionnaire.
Sixty-two OHP participated in workshops. Overall, participants were highly satisfied with the workshop content and format. All participants felt the workshop provided relevant practical information, and > 80% thought that participation benefited their work. Over 98% said that the workshop had increased confidence in their communication skills.
Participants were very satisfied with the workshop, and thought that participation increased confidence in communicating about the transition to palliative care. Dissemination of this model of communication skills training seems warranted.
讨论癌症患者和肿瘤学医护人员（OHP）从积极抗癌治疗向姑息治疗的转变可能具有挑战性。我们开发了一个简短的沟通技巧研讨会，以帮助 OHP 进行这些对话，并评估了对研讨会的满意度以及对这些讨论的信心。
由经过培训的协调员进行互动式研讨会，包括认知、行为和体验式组件。研讨会的主要内容是与受过培训的演员（模拟患者）进行角色扮演。参与者完成了评估问卷。
62 名 OHP 参加了研讨会。总体而言，参与者对研讨会的内容和形式非常满意。所有参与者都认为研讨会提供了相关的实用信息，超过 80%的人认为参与对他们的工作有益。超过 98%的人表示，该研讨会增加了他们在沟通方面的信心。
参与者对研讨会非常满意，并认为参与提高了他们在姑息治疗过渡方面的沟通信心。似乎有理由传播这种沟通技巧培训模式。
