Description
Feedback is a key factor in acquiring breaking bad news (BBN) communication skills and its' acceptance depends on the perceived credibility of the provider. Our aim was to investigate students' opinions on the provided feedback by different educators (surgeons, psychologists, and simulated patient (SP)) during BBN skills training.

dc.description.abstract | Feedback is a key factor in acquiring breaking bad news (BBN) communication skills and its' acceptance depends on the perceived credibility of the provider. Our aim was to investigate students' opinions on the provided feedback by different educators (surgeons, psychologists, and simulated patient (SP)) during BBN skills training. We developed a questionnaire investigating provided feedback by the surgeon, psychologist, and SP (yes or no statements), regarding (1) perceived safety of the atmosphere, (2) perceived positive feedback, (3) perceived specific feedback, and (4) perceived usefulness for improvement during BBN skills training. Five hundred twenty students returned the questionnaire after BBN skills training. Most students rated the feedback as positive, specific, and useful. Also, the atmosphere was considered safe. Feedback ratings of the SP were the same as for the surgeon and valued higher than for the psychologist. An unsafe atmosphere, or not receiving positive, specific, or useful feedback was mostly related to the psychologist's feedback. Feedback on BBN skills training by surgeons and SPs is rated equally helpful by students and is regarded specific, useful, and positive. When designing a BBN training, it is worth to consider involving SP's as well as clinicians. | |
