One-fifth of neurology residencies have no curriculum. Published curricula use didactics or role-play to assess confidence performing this skill without evaluation in clinical settings. The SPIKES mnemonic (Setting, Perception, Invitation, Knowledge, Empathy, Strategy\/Summary) outlines 6 evidence-based steps for communication around serious illness. It is unknown whether child neurology residents can incorporate SPIKES into communication around serious illness in clinical settings. Objective: To develop and evaluate a curriculum on communication around serious illness using SPIKES for child neurology residents that shows long-term skill retention in clinical settings at a single institution. Methods: In 2019, we created a pre-post survey and skills checklist based on SPIKES, with 20 total including 10 core skills. Faculty observed residents\u2019 (n\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u20097) communication with families and completed both preintervention and postintervention checklists for comparison. Residents underwent training in SPIKES during a 2-hour session using didactic and coached role-play. Results: All (n\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u20097) residents completed preintervention surveys, 4 of 6 completed postintervention. All (n\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u20096) participated in the training session. Following the training, 75% of residents reported improved confidence in use of SPIKES, though 50% were still unsure about appropriately responding to emotions. There was improvement in all SPIKES skills, with significant improvement in 6 of 20 skills up to 1 year following training. Conclusion: This is the first evaluation of the implementation of a communication around serious illness curriculum for child neurology residents. We identified improved comfort with SPIKES after training. Successful acquisition and utilization of this framework in our program suggests it could be incorporated into any residency program.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/08830738231172539","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,9]],"date-time":"2023-05-09T01:53:06Z","timestamp":1683597186000},"page":"307-314","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Development and Evaluation of a Child Neurology Resident Curriculum for Communication Around Serious Illness"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1382-7835","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan A.","family":"Martin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, CO, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fiona","family":"Sampey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, CO, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alison","family":"Feldman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, CO, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lori","family":"Silveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, CO, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Craig A.","family":"Press","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, CO, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9003-5896","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ricka","family":"Messer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, CO, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Megan","family":"Barry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, CO, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paritosh","family":"Kaul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, MI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-08830738231172539","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0000000000004794"},{"key":"bibr2-08830738231172539","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2003-0857-L"},{"key":"bibr3-08830738231172539","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/jpm.2009.0338"},{"key":"bibr4-08830738231172539","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(03)15392-5"},{"key":"bibr5-08830738231172539","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.96.1.82"},{"key":"bibr6-08830738231172539","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.284.19.2469"},{"key":"bibr7-08830738231172539","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1096-8628(20000717)93:2<136::AID-AJMG11>3.0.CO;2-L"},{"key":"bibr8-08830738231172539","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00415-018-8817-8"},{"key":"bibr9-08830738231172539","unstructured":"Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.
