Doctors' stress responses and poor communication performance in simulated bad-news consultations.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: No studies have previously evaluated factors associated with high stress levels and poor communication performance in breaking bad news (BBN) consultations. This study determined factors that were most strongly related to doctors' stress ... Read more...

The influence of various graphical and numeric trend display formats on the detection of simulated changes.

30 Oct 2009 Integration of a large amount of information is important in anaesthesia but there is little research to guide the development of data displays. Anaesthetists from two hospitals participated in five related screen based simulation studies comparing ... Read more...

Tools for direct observation and assessment of clinical skills of medical trainees: a systematic review.

21 Sep 2009 CONTEXT: Direct observation of medical trainees with actual patients is important for performance-based clinical skills assessment. Multiple tools for direct observation are available, but their characteristics and outcomes have not been compared ... Read more...
