Sociodrama: a teaching method for expanding the understanding of clinical issues.
Sociodrama is a powerful teaching strategy that combines a case study approach with traditional role-play methodology to illustrate critical issues in end-of-life care. Building on principles of adult learning and communication skills, the sociodrama method enables the skilled facilitator to draw on the learner's past experiences as resources for teaching and reflective practice. This article describes the use of sociodrama in end-of-life education with illustrations from actual sessions including key discussion points, a typical instructional plan and staging tips.
