Communication

8.0K
Communication between two animals occurs when one animal transmits an information signal that causes a change in the animal that receives the information. Organisms communicate with one another in a host of different ways. Signals can be auditory, chemical, visual, tactile, or a combination of these. Communication is a critical behavioral adaptation that promotes survival, growth, and reproduction.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Virtual Reality in Healthcare
  • Communication Skills Training

Background:

  • Fourth-year medical students entering pediatric residency participated in a novel virtual reality (VR) communication curriculum.
  • The curriculum was delivered via video teleconferencing, focusing on motivational interviewing (MI) competencies.
  • The study aimed to assess the impact of VR training on student confidence and evaluate implementation outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a VR-based communication curriculum for medical students.
  • To measure changes in student confidence in motivational interviewing skills.
  • To assess the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of remote VR simulation delivery.

Main Methods:

  • A 2-hour mixed didactic/virtual simulation VR curriculum was implemented.
  • Participants were fourth-year medical students at four US medical schools.
  • A retrospective pre/post Likert-scale survey assessed confidence; paired t-tests analyzed changes.

Main Results:

  • A significant increase in self-reported confidence was observed across all communication skills, including reflection statements and behavioral management strategies (p < 0.01).
  • Students reported high feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of the remote VR simulation delivery.
  • 75% of students (40/53) completed the post-curriculum survey.

Conclusions:

  • Virtual reality patient simulations delivered via video teleconferencing offer a feasible remote platform for teaching motivational interviewing skills.
  • This novel training modality can support standardized and equitable high-quality medical education across institutions.
  • VR simulations show promise for enhancing communication competencies in future physicians.
