3 steps summarised ; Ms x, i can see that this is a tough time for you and you might have many more questions like these, but honestly i do not really have an answer for that just yet.

[@bilalbangash7731]

However, there are things we can do for you and we might get closer to the answers of your questions.

Hi nice video.. concise version of SPIKES strategy:- demonstrating empathy, acknowledging and validating the patient's feelings, exploring the patient's understanding and acceptance of the bad news, and providing information about possible interventions.

[@dr_aman_arora]

I regularly see that SPIKES doesn’t work in role-play practice unfortunately

[@chihiro549]

@@dr_aman_arora yes... It's only useful for answering questions unfortunately

[@chihiro549]

It's a bit odd that it says to try and explore the understanding of the patient about the bad news... In real life, no one would want that right?
