Ítem Restringido Comunicación de malas noticias retos en la práctica médica(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2023) Salazar López, Joselyne Lilibeth; Bravo Pesántez, Claudio Esteban; 0705756153Introduction: Learning general communication skills may enable physicians to deliver bad news less uncomfortably and more satisfyingly to patients and their families. International research suggests that solutions to these problems have been sought by creating training programs to improve the transmission of medical information. Objective: To carry out an exhaustive review of the scientific and medical literature related to the communication of bad news in the health field. Methodology: Narrative literature review in studies, meta-analyses, systematic reviews, controlled clinical trials, case-control and cohort studies, literature reviews reporting updates on bad news communication in medicine from 2018 to 2023, in English and Spanish. Results: Twenty-one articles were selected, and it was found that the reasons physicians have difficulties delivering bad news are common concerns about how the news will affect the patient, the challenge of individualizing how to deliver bad news, and the content delivered; they may be afraid of the patient's or family's reaction to the news, or not knowing how to deal with an intense emotional response. Conclusions: Applying new guidelines, protocols and developing general communication skills may allow physicians to deliver bad news in an empathic way, in addition to the patient-physician relationship, providing security to the patient and their families.
