Yet, recent graduates from diverse health-care disciplines report inadequate training in communication skills and end-of-life care. This study explored the impact of a withdrawal of life-sustaining measures interprofessional simulation on team communication skills of students representing medicine, nursing, and social work. The 3-phase simulation required teams to communicate with the patient, family, and one another in the care of a seriously ill patient at the end of life. Team communication in the filmed simulations was analyzed via the Gap-Kalamazoo Communication Checklist. Results revealed fair to good communication across the 9 communication domains. Overall team communication was strongest in \u201cshares information\u201d and lowest in \u201cunderstands the patient\u2019s and family\u2019s perspective\u201d domains. Field notes revealed 5 primary themes\u2014 Team Dynamics, Awkwardness, Empathy is Everything, Build a Relationship, and Communicating Knowledge When You Have It\u2014in the course of the data analysis. Logistical challenges encountered in simulation development and implementation are presented, along with proposed solutions that were effective for this study. This simulation provided an opportunity for interprofessional health-care provider students to learn team communication skills within an end-of-life care context.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1049909119865862","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,26]],"date-time":"2019-07-26T04:50:14Z","timestamp":1564116614000},"page":"65-71","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Exploring End-of-Life Care Team Communication: An Interprofessional Simulation Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8478-3580","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Megan","family":"Lippe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Alabama, Capstone College of Nursing, Tuscaloosa, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Stanley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Alabama, Capstone College of Nursing, Tuscaloosa, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Allison","family":"Ricamato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Alabama, Capstone College of Nursing, Tuscaloosa, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anne","family":"Halli-Tierney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Alabama, College of Community Health Sciences, Tuscaloosa, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"McKinney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Alabama, College of Community Health Sciences, Tuscaloosa, AL, USA"},{"name":"University of Alabama, School of Social Work, Tuscaloosa, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1049909119865862","unstructured":"National Center for Health Statistics.
