Staff's Knowledge and Self-Confidence in Difficult Communication: Evaluation of a Short Experiential-Based Training Program.

ABSTRACT: Background: Most of the communication training programs developed over the past two decades were monodisciplinary, relied on traditional teaching methods, and targeted the hospital context. Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the impact of a short, interdisciplinary, experiential-based communication program (Teach-to-Communicate program) targeted at nursing home (NH) personnel with regard to short-term, staff-related outcomes. Methods: This study is part of a larger quality improvement project based on a pre-post single-arm intervention design. We focused on a 6 h residential program involving 30 participants with different scopes of practice working in an NH. Traditional and experiential learning methods were used, including lectures, small group discussion
