This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of physicians in King Fahad Specialist Hospital–Dammam with regard to delivering bad news to patients and/or relatives. For this, a cross–sectional descriptive study was conducted among 150 physicians using a self–administered questionnaire. Our results found that 61.3% had good knowledge concerning delivering bad news, and 80% had above average attitudes. Meanwhile, with regard to who should be the first recipients of bad news, the majority of physicians felt that patients and relatives should be informed at the same time; further, 48% agreed to allow relatives to determine whether patients are fully or partially informed about the disease. Aside from these aspects, the practice of our physicians is consistent with the current guidelines. It is also notable that few physicians, 7.3%, update their knowledge through courses. Thus, training in this regard should be provided.
