Summary

This study aimed to investigate the effect of attending a SHARE model communication course by emergency physicians on patient notification and signing of do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders for critical patients in the emergency room.

Detailed description

An observation form designed based on the SHARE model was completed by two observers who noted the communication process between physicians and patients and family members during patient notification and signing a DNR order. To assess the influence of physicians attending a SHARE model course on the signing of DNR orders, a propensity score-matched population was created to reduce the potential selection bias of patients and family members.
