Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Professions Education
  • Clinical Communication Skills Training

Background:

  • Shared decision-making (SDM) is crucial for patient-centered care, requiring specific communication skills.
  • Virtual patients (VPs) offer a simulated environment for practicing clinical skills, including communication.
  • The application of VPs specifically for SDM skill development is an emerging area with limited research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a virtual patient (VP) workshop designed to enhance medical students' SDM communication skills.
  • To assess the usability and impact of a multiple-choice VP on practicing SDM.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods approach using pre- and post-intervention questionnaires and semistructured interviews.
  • Quantitative data from questionnaires assessed participant views on the VP.
  • Qualitative data from interviews explored participants' experiences and perceptions in depth.

Main Results:

  • Participants found the VP enjoyable and user-friendly.
  • A shift in priority was observed, with 'respecting patient choices' moving from second to first rank post-intervention.
  • The VP provided a unique practice environment, bridging theoretical knowledge with patient-focused application.

Conclusions:

  • The VP workshop was positively received by medical students.
  • The multiple-choice interaction format was perceived as both beneficial and limiting.
  • Further research is recommended to refine VP interaction modes and assess behavioral changes.
