I Fondamenti della Comunicazione in Chirurgia (FCS)
I Fondamenti della Comunicazione in Chirurgia (FCS): uno studio pilota per valutare la scalabilità e l'impatto di un curriculum di comunicazione clinica
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the impact of the FCS curriculum on achieving the learning objectives and resident reported self-efficacy with communication skills and determine the scalability of the training across a range of general surgery training programs

Descrizione dettagliata
The researchers have developed a 5-year curriculum for surgical trainees called the Fundamentals of Communication in Surgery (FCS). The training includes core communication skills, e.g., expressing empathy, and frameworks to support informed consent and serious illness conversations, specifically Best Case/Worst Case and Better Conversations. The curriculum provides one developmentally appropriate two-hour session for each of the five years of surgical training. Because the training is skills based (e.g., scenario planning) and not procedure based (e.g., goals of care conversations) exercises are focused on specific techniques that build over subsequent sessions.
Researchers will invite 1-3 surgical attendings per site with an interest in surgical education to serve as trainers for the FCS curriculum.
All general surgery trainees at each institution will have access to the training program as part of their regularly scheduled educational curriculum, regardless of training year or status as a categorical resident. If there is interest, researchers will provide access to the curriculum to fellows and residents in affiliated programs, e.g., plastic surgery.
Researchers will invite site personnel who have roles related to surgical education including the program director and associate program director (if applicable), 2 to 3 attending surgeons who have high contact with residents in urgent care settings (e.g., emergency general surgery), 1 to 2 members of the education coordination team.

All general surgery trainees at each institution will have access to the training program as part of their regularly scheduled educational curriculum, regardless of training year or status as a categorical resident. |
The UW study team will conduct two 2-hour train-the-trainer sessions with all surgical attendings who have committed to participation as a trainer in the FCS curriculum. The designated trainer will deliver each 2-hour session during the existing formal educational time for residents. If existing protected educational time will not allow for a 2-hour training session, the sessions can be delivered in two 1-hour sessions. These sessions will be incorporated into the curriculum similar to all other formal training provided to residents with the same expectations to attend. Each 2-hour FCS session starts with a 30-minute exercise in empathic communication. The remaining 90 minutes are devoted to skills that support decision making about surgery. |

Trainee Reaction to the Training
Lasso di tempo: Day of training through 2 months post-training

Trainee Self-Efficacy - Ability
Lasso di tempo: Before training, directly after training, and 2 months post-training
|
Surgical trainees will complete an 8-item ability survey on a scale of 1-5 (1= not at all able to do, 5= easily able to do). Total scores range from 8-40, with higher scores indicating a better ability to communicate. |

Performance of Skills
Lasso di tempo: Baseline (before training), directly after training, and 2 months post-training
|
Trainers will observe surgical trainees to evaluate them on various items using a scoring rubric. Each item will be scored as not done, done, or exceptional. Binary Scoring (0/1) 0: Not Done 1: Done Ternary Scoring (0/1/2) 0: Not Done

Fidelity to the Intervention
Lasso di tempo: 1 day of training
|
A member of the UW study team will travel to each institution once to observe one 2-hour educational session in person. The observer will use an implementation checklist (rubric) to record performance of discrete elements of the curriculum and the fidelity to the overall training program goals as described in the learning objectives. |

Trainee Self-Efficacy - Preparedness
Lasso di tempo: Before training, directly after training, and 2 months post-training
|
Surgical trainees will also complete a 6-item preparedness survey with a scale of 1-5 (1= not at all prepared, 5= very well prepared). Total scores range from 6-35, with higher scores indicating greater confidence in navigating treatment decisions. |
