Purpose:
This study aims to develop and implement a situational simulation teaching model based on the AIDET communication framework (SST-AIDET) for oncology residents and evaluate its effectiveness in enhancing communication skills.
Methods:
A total of 117 third-year postgraduate residents at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (SYSUCC) were randomly assigned to either a control group (n = 63) receiving traditional teacher-centered instruction or an intervention group (n = 54) undergoing SST-AIDET training. The intervention included theoretical instruction, simulation-based teaching, and discussion sessions. Communication skills were assessed through an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), using the SEGUE Framework, the Chinese Physician-Patient Communication Assessment Scale (CPPC-AS), and the Consultation and Relational Empathy (CARE) measure.
Results:
The intervention group achieved significantly higher median scores in the SEGUE Framework (22 vs. 18, P < 0.001), CPPC-AS (with superior task, performance, and total scores, all P < 0.001), and CARE measure (45 vs. 43, P < 0.001) compared to the control group. A greater proportion of residents in the intervention group attained "excellent" scores in SEGUE and CARE assessments.
Conclusions:
The SST-AIDET teaching model significantly enhances communication skills among oncology residents and may improve standardized patient satisfaction, which is worth actively promoting in clinical teaching work.
