“…in BBN is divided into three critical items: Preparing the proper conditions, giving information, and supporting the patient (8). However, the nursing students' curriculum, like other educational programs of medical universities, traditionally focuses on clinical and manual skills and learning specialized academic topics rather than the importance of communication skills (9). The nurses' work setting influences the way they involve in the process of BBN.…”

Background: Breaking Bad News (BBN) is a multidisciplinary and unpleasant task, and nurses play a vital role in this process as they are often exposed to such situations. It is a critical duty that has not been adequately addressed. Objectives: This study investigated the performance of nurses in academic hospitals affiliated with Guilan University of Medical Sciences (GUMS) regarding BBN. Methods: During 2020, eligible nurses were interviewed, and a questionnaire containing 16 items about environmental and psychical support was filled out. The ﬁrst 10 questions evaluated psychical support, and the next six assessed environmental support. Each question scored 10, "never," to 50, "always." Results: A total of 384 out of 410 nurses filled out the questionnaires, and a response rate of 93.65% was obtained. As shown, 346 (90.1%) responders were women, and 38 (9.9%) were men. Also, 289 (75.3%) had passed educational courses. A positive association was observed between psychical and environmental support and age (P = 0.007, P = 0.003) and years of experience (P = 0.013, P = 0.004). However, there was no significant difference respecting educational programs (P > 0.05). Conclusions: This study revealed that the current educational programs are not practical and could not induce a significant difference in nurses' answers. Effective interventions to improve nurses' communication skills are strongly warranted.

“…In nursing education, training communication skills using simulations has been revealed as more crucial-than merely teaching therapeutic techniques to increase selfconfidence among nursing students-when communicating therapeutically with patients and families (Blake & Blake, 2019). Despite this, there are few studies about learning exercises for nursing students on how to break bad news (Erawati, 2017). Training with well-developed exercises is crucial to reach competency in this challenging situation.…”

Receiving bad news can have a profound impact on a patient's physical, psychological and social well-being. Therefore, communication of bad news is an essential skill required for health professionals. A good interpersonal relationship based on trust, empathy, and respect can help the psychological adjustment to end-of-life losses. This study presents a simulation-based learning experience designed to teach communication skills to nursing students who care for palliative patients and their family members. The authors suggest adopting Gibbs’ reflective cycle during structured debriefing that enables the students to move logically through the reflective process. A student-centered learning approach can promote responsibility and success in achieving the expected learning outcomes.
