    Background:

    • Effective patient interviewing is crucial for accurate diagnosis and patient rapport.
    • Traditional medical training may not adequately focus on developing specific interviewing techniques.
    • First-year medical students require structured training to build foundational clinical skills.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of a 10-week structured course on developing medical students' interviewing skills.
    • To compare the effectiveness of the Developmental Helping Model versus traditional training methods.
    • To assess improvements in patient interviewing abilities among novice medical students.

    Main Methods:

    • A randomized controlled trial involving 32 first-year medical students.

  • Experimental group received training based on Carkhuff's Developmental Helping Model.
  • Comparison group received traditional information-gathering training.
  • Student interviewing skills were assessed via pre- and post-course videotaped simulations with standardized patients.
  • Interviews were rated by blinded reviewers using Carkhuff's five-point scale.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant pre-test differences were observed between the experimental and comparison groups.
    • The experimental group demonstrated significantly higher interviewing skills ratings at post-test.
    • Training in specific interviewing skills yielded superior outcomes compared to traditional methods.

    Conclusions:

    • A structured 10-week course utilizing the Developmental Helping Model is effective in enhancing medical students' interviewing skills.
    • Skill-specific training offers a significant advantage over non-skill-oriented approaches for developing patient interviewing competence.
    • These findings support the integration of targeted communication skills training into medical curricula.
