avondale-bepress.abstract<p><h2>Introduction:</h2></p> <p>The approach, communication skills, and confidence of clinicians responsible for raising deceased organ donation may influence families’ donation decisions. The aim of this study was to increase the preparedness and confidence of intensive care clinicians allocated to work in a “designated requester” role. <h2>Design:</h2></p> <p>We conducted a posttest evaluation of an innovative simulation-based training program. Simulation-based training enabled clinicians to rehearse the “balanced approach” to family donation conversations (FDCs) in the designated requester role. Professional actors played family members in simulated clinical settings using authentic scenarios, with video-assisted reflective debriefing. Participants completed an evaluation after the workshop. Simple descriptive statistical analysis and content analysis were performed. <h2>Results:</h2></p> <p>Between January 2013 and July 2015, 25 workshops were undertaken with 86 participants; 82 (95.3%) returned evaluations. Respondents were registered practicing clinicians; over half (44/82; 53.7%) were intensivists. Most attended a single workshop. Evaluations were overwhelmingly positive with the majority rating workshops as outstanding (64/80; 80%). Scenario fidelity, competence of the actors, opportunity to practice and receive feedback on performance, and feedback from actors, both in and out of character, were particularly valued. Most (76/78; 97.4%) reported feeling more confident about their designated requester role. <h2>Discussion:</h2></p> <p>Simulation-based communication training for the designated requester role in FDCs increased the knowledge and confidence of clinicians to raise the topic of donation.</p>
