The SimCom-Method: Impact of Simulated Communication Teaching in Pediatric Resuscitation Scenarios
The SimCom-Method demonstrates the feasibility and efficacy of a brief, just-in-time communication teaching session delivered immediately before a pediatric resuscitation simulation to significantly improve communication when breaking bad news. Integrating such communication teaching sessions into resuscitation curricula should be prioritized to strengthen providers' ability to support families during emotionally charged situations.
