Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Clinician Coaching Wait-List Control Arm-- CaregiversExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Clinicians in the wait-list control arm will initially serve as the control arm then receive the intervention to provide feasibility and acceptability data. The clinicians randomized the control arm will undergo didactics and feedback once their pre-intervention audio-recordings are complete. Caregivers of hospitalized children will not know if their clinician has yet received the communication intervention. The investigators will recruit 40 caregivers in this arm prior to clinicians receiving the intervention.
Group II: Clinician Coaching Immediate Intervention Arm-- CaregiversActive Control1 Intervention
Clinicians who receive the intervention will participate for up to 12 months, which includes completion of didactics, 8 audio-recorded clinical encounters, 4 feedback sessions, and completion of a post-intervention brief interview and survey. After completing didactic training elements, clinicians will receive coaching and professional feedback on their communication with caregivers of children in the hospital. The investigators will provide clinicians with illustrative examples from their encounters to prompt discussion and self-reflection. Caregivers of hospitalized children will not know if their clinician has received the communication intervention. The investigators will recruit 40 caregivers in this arm.
