Videodebriefing and difficult news delivery: an anesthesiology training workshop experience
Main Article Content
Abstract
Simulation is a technique that has been increasingly used in developing skills and competences. The health professional often has difficulty interacting with the patient/family member to communicate difficult news. In view of the importance of the theme, during a Anesthesiology Training Workshop of a hospital in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, a videodebriefing activity was developed. Participants (anesthesiologists, anesthesiology residents and medical students in this area) were divided into four groups with approximately 11 participants/each, totaling four groups. Each station lasted for one hour. A previously produced video showed the delivery of a report about a teenage patient to her mother. Some participants were selected to incorporate the role of the physician, nurse, and mother, starting from the premise of non-judgment rather than criticism. The debriefing technique was used. The other participants followed the activity and completed a check list of important points in the difficult news delivery based on the SPIKES protocol. At the end of the activity, there was a presentation of the concepts and reflections on the subject and below as well as an evaluation of the general activity and the topics covered. The overall evaluation was good and the objective of raising awareness about the main issues related to the theme was achieved.
