    Introduction: Breaking bad news is an essential part of the medical professional’s performance. Historically, some obstacles oppose this practice, and transmitting difficult news in a clear and emphatic way, meeting the individual needs of patients, requires preparation and may have the help of protocols. Objectives: The  objective of the study is to understand how health professionals deal with the communication of difficult news and what their self-perception of aptitude for this communication is. Materials and Methods: This is a survey-type study. The study population consisted of physicians who worked in a tertiary hospital and who answered a questionnaire from September to December 2018. The sample was of convenience. Results: Although most of the 109 doctors worked in emergency and most understood that they should communicate the bad news to the patient, as well as their family, 17.4% reported that they rarely made this type of  communication and most were unaware of a protocol, being that 71% of professionals considered themselves able to communicate bad news. Conclusions: It is understood that there are gaps in physicians’ self-perception about breaking bad news. These findings demonstrate that there is a need for educational measures on the subject.Introdução: A comunicação de más notícias é parte essencial da atuação do profissional médico.  Historicamente, alguns obstáculos se opõem a esta prática, sendo que transmitir uma má notícia de forma clara e empática, atendendo às necessidades individualizadas dos pacientes, exige preparação e pode ter auxílio de protocolos. Objetivos: O objetivo do estudo é compreender como os profissionais de saúde lidam com a comunicação de más notícias e qual a sua autopercepção de aptidão para esta comunicação. Materiais e Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo do tipo survey. A população do estudo foi constituída por médicos que atuavam num hospital terciário e que responderam a um questionário no período de setembro a dezembro de 2018.

    Resident doctors usually face the task to communicate bad news in perinatology without any formal training. The impact on parents can be disastrous. The objective of this paper is to analyze the perception of residents regarding a training program in communicating bad news in perinatology based on video reviews and setting, perception, invitation, knowledge, emotion, and summary (SPIKES) strategy. We performed the analysis of complementary data collected from participants in a randomized controlled intervention study to evaluate the efficacy of a training program on improving residents' skills to communicate bad news. Data were collected using a Likert scale. Through a thematic content analysis we tried to to apprehend the meanings, feelings and experiences expressed by resident doctors in their comments as a response to an open-ended question. Half of the group received training, consisting of discussions of video reviews of participants' simulated encounters communicating a perinatal loss to a “mother” based on the SPIKES strategy. We also offered training sessions to the control group after they completed participation. Twenty-eight residents who were randomized to intervention and 16 from the control group received training. Twenty written comments were analyzed. The majority of the residents evaluated training highly as an education activity to help increase knowledge, ability and understanding about breaking bad news in perinatology. Three big categories emerged from residents' comments: SPIKES training effects; bad news communication in medical training; and doctors' feelings and relationship with patients. Residents took SPIKES training as a guide to systematize the communication of bad news and to amplify perceptions of the emotional needs of the patients. They suggested the insertion of a similar training in their residency programs curricula.3910552559COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE PESSOAL DE NÍVEL SUPERIOR - CAPESFUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO - FAPESPSem informação2013/24185-0Médicos residentes, em geral, enfrentam a tarefa de comunicar más notícias em perinatologia sem um treino formal prévio. O impacto nos pais pode ser desastroso. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as percepções dos residentes sobre um programa de treinamento para a comunicação de más notícias em perinatologia baseado na revisão de vídeos e na estratégia SPIKES. Analisamos os dados complementares coletados dos participantes de um estudo de intervenção controlado e aleatorizado que avaliou a eficácia de um programa de treinamento para ampliar as habilidades dos residentes em comunicar más notícias. Os dados foram coletados utilizando um questionário em escala Likert. Através da análise temática de conteúdos buscamos apreender os significados, sentimentos e experiências descritos nos comentários dos residentes em resposta a uma questão aberta avaliando o treinamento. Metade do grupo recebeu treinamento, que consistiu de discussões do vídeo da consulta simulada de cada participante em que ele comunicava uma perda perinatal para uma “mãe” baseado na estratégia SPIKES. Ofereceu-se treinamento também para o grupo controle após encerraram sua participação na pesquisa. Vinte e oito residentes aleatorizados para a intervenção e 16 do grupo controle receberam treinamento. Vinte comentários escritos foram analisados. A maioria dos residentes avaliou o treinamento como uma ótima atividade educativa para ajudá-los a aumentar conhecimento, habilidades e compreensão sobre o processo de comunicar más notícias em perinatologia. Três grandes categorias emergiram dos comentários: Efeitos do treinamento SPIKES, comunicação de más notícias no treinamento médico; e os sentimentos dos médicos e sua relação com os pacientes. Residentes de perinatologia entenderam o treinamento SPIKES como um guia para sistematizar a comunicação de más notícias e ampliar suas percepções sobre as necessidades emocionais dos pacientes. Eles sugeriram que treinamentos similares fossem inseridos nos currículos dos programas de residência
