Dichotomous (agree/disagree) items
The didactic training content to implement the COMPLETE intervention was appropriate. The skills practice exercises, such as role-playing activities with the bereaved-parent advisors, were helpful. Participating in small-group reflective discussions on PC/EOL communication was helpful. The training I received during the study will enhance my ability to provide PC/EOL communication with my patients outside of the study. The format of training was an appropriate amount of time to learn what I needed to know to conduct the COMPLETE intervention well.
