Breaking bad news, especially a death notice, is an essential part of the medical profes-sional communication. Being inadequately trained in those skills this may result in un-pleasant psychosocial consequences for everyone involved. This prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial evaluated the delivery of a death notice to simulation parents out of the perspective of these parents (professional actors), the participants (students) and by video analysis. The simulation patient has prior unexpectedly died during a simulated resuscitation. The intervention group broke the bad news after receiving a short communication

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | score by simulation parents | evaluation of breaking bad news by simulation parents, via a newly created questionnaire, measured in points, minimum score of zero points, maximum score of 69 points, the higher the score the better the outcome | up to 1 hour after the simulation | |
Secondary | score by participants | self-evaluation of breaking bad news by participants, via a newly created questionnaire, measured in points, minimum score of zero points, maximum score of 63 points, the higher the score the better the outcome | up to 1 hour after the simulation | |
Secondary | score of video analysis | evaluation of breaking bad news by video raters, via a newly created questionnaire, measured in points, minimum score of zero points, maximum score of 270 points, the higher the score the better the outcome | through study completion, an average of 1 year |
