Adequate end-of-life (EOL) care/breaking-bad-news (BBN) discussions with patients are becoming increasingly essential to adequate patient care. Whether a half-day workshop would lead to improved confidence in EOL/BBN care discussions for internal medicine interns. Internal medicine interns ( = 43) were assigned to participate in a half-day workshop at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. The workshop involved two standardized patient (SP) interactions involving delivering news of a terminal illness/initiating goals of care discussion with the intervention of SP feedback, a didactic and lecture on proper EOL/BBN discussion. Voluntary anonymous surveys before and after the workshop were utilized to assess impact. A majority of interns felt more comfortable with leading EOL care/BBN discussions after the workshop and had a positive experience. A half-day curriculum is efficacious in educating EOL/BBN communication to internal medicine interns, but should be further assessed in a larger more standardized study involving an objective assessment.
与患者进行充分的临终关怀(EOL)/告知坏消息(BBN)讨论对于提供充分的患者护理变得越来越重要。一个为期半天的研讨会是否会提高内科实习生在EOL/BBN护理讨论方面的信心。43名内科实习生被分配到托马斯·杰斐逊大学医院参加一个为期半天的研讨会。该研讨会包括两次标准化患者(SP)互动,涉及在SP反馈的干预下传达绝症消息/启动护理目标讨论,以及一次关于适当的EOL/BBN讨论的教学和讲座。利用研讨会前后的自愿匿名调查来评估影响。大多数实习生在研讨会后对主导EOL护理/BBN讨论感觉更自在,并获得了积极的体验。一个为期半天的课程在向内科实习生传授EOL/BBN沟通方面是有效的,但应该在一项涉及客观评估的更大规模、更标准化的研究中进一步评估。
