WHEN YOU HAVE CANCER

Motivated by unpublished data from APCA showing gaps in knowledge and skill of health workers in palliative care communication, by medical literature supporting the need for improved communication and communication training in Africa and by our own clinical experience with rural Ugandan patients who hope for better communication with their health care providers, we created video-based educational modules intended to help healthcare workers learn and improve their palliative care communication skills.

These modules have embedded videos of unscripted real-life patient encounters in rural Uganda and are on PowerPoints which include teaching points related to each video, and prompts for learners to reflect on their own practices and how they might improve their patient interactions. 

 The topics covered in the 7 modules include:

-What is Palliative Care

-Basic Communication Skills

-Delivering Bad News- Parts 1 and 2

-Thorough Pain Assessment (including how to elicit a clearer understanding of the patient’s pain and convey better pain management instructions)

-Talking About End-of-Life Parts 1 and 2. 

 Although they may be used for independent learning, these modules are best used by a group of learners who can discuss their thoughts and reflections together either in person or virtually. .
