Article summary:

1. The COMFORT (Communication, Orientation and Opportunity, Mindfulness Exists, Family, Openness, Relationships and Teamwork) course has been introduced to the End-of-Life Care Education Alliance's communication module as a standardized undergraduate and graduate nursing training.

2. This study examined the potential effectiveness of the COMFORT course on the daily communication challenges experienced by members of a Georgia nursing leadership organization.

3. Participants were prompted to describe a communication barrier and then apply one aspect of the COMFORT course to that barrier. Responses revealed primary communication barriers with colleagues and patients/families. Nurses primarily identified components directly related to the COMFORT framework (C Communication, F Series) as solutions for describing topics of barriers.
