    (Addis Ababa University, 2023-08-19) Amir Nuri; Abdu Mengesha
    Effective communication is at ‘the heart of the art of medicine, and it is recognized that in developing countries, with inefficient health care systems, the emphasis to foster better communication is lacking. Skillful delivery of bad news can provide comfort for the patient and family. There is a widespread problem with physicians’ and students’ skills and knowledge on standardized ways of Breaking Bad News (BBN). Improvements are needed on knowledge, attitude, skill and practice of protocol-based BBN such as the Setting, Perception, Innovation, Knowledge, Emotion, Summary and strategy (SPIKES) protocol. Data regarding practicing such protocols is little in Ethiopia and in developing countries as a whole. This study will determine resident physician’s awareness and practice of protocol-based BBN in the different specialty fields of Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH), and serve as an evidence-based input to improve medical curriculum design
