Area Of Science
- Pediatric Medicine
- Medical Education
- Psychosomatic Medicine
Background
- Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders (SSRDs) present diagnostic challenges for clinicians.
- Effective communication with caregivers is crucial for positive patient outcomes in SSRDs.
- Existing educational programs inadequately address the need for improved SSRD diagnostic communication skills.
Purpose Of The Study
- To develop and evaluate an innovative educational curriculum for pediatricians.
- To enhance clinicians' confidence and efficacy in communicating SSRD diagnoses to caregivers.
- To address identified gaps in pediatric residency training regarding SSRD communication.
Main Methods
- A 90-minute curriculum was designed using Kern's six steps and the INFORM framework.
- Iterative curriculum improvement utilized the CIPP model with participant feedback.
- Quantitative surveys assessed curriculum acceptability, feasibility, and educational objective attainment.
Main Results
- Post-curriculum, participants showed significantly improved knowledge of SSRDs.
- Confidence in SSRD diagnostic conversations increased from 32% to 86%.
- 95% of participants would recommend the curriculum, and 98% intend to use the skills.
Conclusions
- A novel, well-received curriculum effectively enhances pediatricians' SSRD diagnostic communication skills.
- The training demonstrates significant improvements in learner confidence and intended clinical application.
- This educational innovation is vital for improving care for children with SSRDs.

The nursing process uses scientific reasoning, problem-solving, and critical thinking to guide nurses in providing patients with appropriate care. This process is a systematic approach to recognize, avoid, and treat current or potential health issues while promoting the patient's well-being.
The nursing process considers the patient's emotional and physical well-being. The process can be repeated or stopped at any point if judged essential. Assessment is the first step in the nursing...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.
Communication is a lifelong learning process. Through therapeutic communication, nurses can collect relevant assessment data, provide education and counseling, and interact during nursing interventions. Sending and receiving messages occur through verbal and nonverbal communication techniques and can happen separately or simultaneously.
Verbal communication depends on language or a prescribed way of using words so that people can share information effectively. The critical aspects of verbal...
Nursing diagnoses represent a problem validated by major defining characteristics. There are four categories of nursing diagnoses: problem-focused, risk, health promotion or wellness, and syndrome. The anatomy of a nursing diagnosis includes three components: problem statement or diagnostic label, defining characteristics, and related factors.
Risk nursing diagnoses represent clinical judgments of an individual, family, or community more vulnerable to developing the health problem than others...
Focusing involves centering a conversation on a message's critical elements or concepts. Focusing is valuable if the talk is vague or patients begin to repeat themselves. Sometimes, when patients are asked about their symptoms, they may go off-topic and try to tell their entire life story. Respectfully, the nurse should bring the conversation back into focus.
This therapeutic technique can also be used when a patient brings up pertinent information during a health-related conversation. The...
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...
