Summary
Video training did not significantly alter student-patient communication behaviors. Confirmation categories predominated interactions, suggesting communication skills training needs integration throughout undergraduate education, not just isolated courses.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Communication Studies
- Healthcare Professional Training
Context:
- Effective communication is crucial in healthcare settings.
- Video-based interventions are explored for behavioral change in communication.
- Student-patient interactions require specific communication skill development.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the impact of a training program on communication behaviors between students and patients.
- To assess changes in confirmation and discordance categories during oral interactions post-training.
- To determine if video-based training influences communication interaction profiles.
Summary:
- The study trained students in using confirmation and discordance categories during oral communication with patients.
- Results showed a predominance of confirmation categories, with no significant changes before and after the training intervention.
- The interaction profile remained largely unchanged, indicating limited effectiveness of the isolated training program.
Impact:
- Findings suggest that communication skills training should be integrated longitudinally within undergraduate medical curricula.
- Current training approaches may be insufficient for lasting behavioral change in student-patient communication.
- Further research is needed on effective pedagogical strategies for enhancing healthcare communication skills.
