A comparison of the interviewing skills of first- and final-year medical students.

Abstract:

:This study compared the communication skills of randomly chosen first- and final-year medical students. The intention was to follow up previous research, conducted over 10 years ago, into the effects of the medical curriculum on communication skills. It was hypothesized that there would be little improvement in such skills over the period of training, with the possibility that the final-year students might be less caring, empathic and supportive, more directive, and less concerned with psychosocial information. All students interviewed a simulated patient in the role of a mother of a child with cerebral palsy, where the main problems were psychological and social. The interviews were recorded on videotape and analysed by an independent observer for the presence or absence of a set of communication behaviours considered important in facilitating an effective relationship and in the exploration and understanding of the problem. The results failed to support the hypotheses. The final-year students were superior to their juniors on several measures, indicating improvements in relating to the patient in a caring, empathic, facilitative and listening manner. They also elicited more information relevant to the problem. The indications were that these final-year students were more skilled than in earlier studies, suggesting that the general change in attitudes to communications skills and the limited, but increased input into the curriculum may be having effect, even though there remains a need for considerably more training.
