Exploring the Learning Process for Neonatology Fellows of Giving Serious News on a Virtual Platform.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background Since 1998, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education has highlighted the importance of teaching palliative care skills, yet neonatology fellows sometimes receive varied and inadequate training on these topics. As this study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic when our medical education curriculum was still mostly remote, our aim was to explore how neonatology fellows learned to give serious news with the use of a virtual platform. Objectives The aim of this study was to explore, through qualitative interviews after virtual simulations, the individual learning experiences of giving serious news to a standardized patient (SP). Methods Between January and December 2022, neonatology fellows participated in quarterly two-hour virtual sessions with an SP. At each session, two fellows practiced giving serious news with an SP, and after the session, both fellows were interviewed about their experiences. Analysis of interviews was conducted with a team-based approach using qualitative data analysis software. Results The following four major themes were identified: types of training, role-playing, virtual platform, and lessons learned. Simulation training was found to be beneficial in the learning and practicing of giving serious news. The virtual environment was viewed as a safe learning environment. Approximately half of the participants stated that the virtual learning environment may be more comfortable compared with in-person simulations. Conclusion Online simulation sessions can serve as a safe, valuable, and comfortable platform to teach and practice skills for giving serious news.
