Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Psychosocial Medicine
  • Family Medicine

Background:

  • Effective patient interviewing is crucial in family practice.
  • Assessing psychosocial skills in residents is essential for quality patient care.
  • Previous research highlights variability in resident clinical performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the psychosocial interviewing skills of family practice residents.
  • To identify specific areas of strength and weakness in resident performance.
  • To explore potential sex differences in resident psychosocial competence.

Main Methods:

  • Observational study of 55 family practice residents during patient interviews.
  • Assessment of basic interpersonal and medical interviewing skills.
  • Evaluation of performance in areas of psychosocial complexity.

Main Results:

  • Residents demonstrated adequate competence in most basic interviewing skills.
  • Performance was weaker in addressing the psychosocial implications of illness.
  • No significant sex differences were found, though women residents showed slightly better empathy and reassurance.

Conclusions:

  • Family practice residents possess foundational interviewing skills but require further training in psychosocial aspects.
  • Targeted educational interventions may improve residents' ability to address illness implications.
  • Further research should explore factors influencing psychosocial skill development in medical training.
