Abstrakt: Background: Simulations are an important modality for practicing high-acuity, low-frequency events. We implemented a deliberate practice simulation-based workshop to improve pediatric end-of-life care skills (PECS) competence.
Purpose: To understand pediatric subspecialty fellows' perceptions about influences of a simulation-based workshop on PECS provided at the bedside several months following participation.
Methods: Pediatric subspecialty fellows were recruited to voluntary focus groups during regular educational sessions six months following PECS workshop participation with aims to identify perceptions about their workshop participation and any implication on their clinical practice. Inductive qualitative content analysis of focus group interview data was performed adhering to the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research.
Results: Ten fellows participated in one of three focus groups. Researchers identified three major themes of fellow experience: burden, safe practice space, and self-efficacy. Fellows described practice implications from workshop participation, including incorporation of specific practices, improved anticipatory guidance, and increased team leader confidence.
Conclusions: Targeted, deliberate simulation-based practice of PECS can help close the gap from learning to practice, contributing to provider self-efficacy and potentially improving clinical care for pediatric patients and families at end of life.
Competing Interests: No competing financial interests exist.
