The Impact of Senior Medical Students Personal Difficulties on Their Communication Patterns in Breaking Bad News
Academic Medicine, 11/02/09

Meitar D et al. – These findings empirically demonstrate that intrapersonal difficulties within the communicator and his or her level of SA about them influenced the manner and content of the communication during the encounter. This finding suggests that enhancing SA and addressing personal and professional difficulties could help physicians' capability to cope with challenging communication tasks. The authors propose a working tool (the Preparatory SPIKES) to facilitate the integration of self–reflection (by identifying personal difficulties) into day–by–day planning and delivery of bad news.
