fertiShare Evaluation

"two-hour self-led eLearning course to support fertility staff in sharing bad news (SBN) with their patients~organised in three modules. Module 1 explores definitions of bad news, why it is challenging to FHPs and patients, and the benefits of training. Module 2 offers SPIKES-based step-by-step guidance to ease SBNs. Module 3 offers guidance to cope with common challenges FHPs face: sharing bad news remotely, managing anger and uncertainty, and using good news to lessen the impact of bad news.~Each module offers video content-based lessons, case studies that illustrate guidance and brief quizzes for self-reflection and assessment. Case studies show learners optimal and suboptimal approaches to SBN."

"self-led eLearning course branded as fertiShare but designed to emulate the basic communication training healthcare providers receive as they undergo their professional degrees.~organised in three modules. Module 1 explores definitions of bad news, why it is challenging to FHPs and patients, and the benefits of training. Module 2 introduces the communication cycle and associated communication techniques. Module 3 offers guidance regarding other basic communication skills: empathic communication, non-verbal communication, active listening and remote consultations, and communicating the likelihood of positive or negative treatment outcomes.~Each module offers video content-based lessons, case studies, and brief quizzes. All teaching elements remain at the basic level (remembering and understanding instead of analysing and applying)."
