Results : The study results showed that the median value of positive response for girls was 56 and for boys was 52 whereas for a negative response was 25 and 27 respectively. There was no significant (p>0.05) difference was observed in the tested groups. The majority of the students opted for empathy-related communication skills as their interest (30.33%) and opined that it will help to build future communication skills (31.33%).

医学教育中学生交流药理学态度的横断面研究
摘要背景:医患之间的有效沟通是提供高质量医疗服务的必要条件。国家医学委员会(NMC)在本科阶段引入沟通技巧是大有希望的一步,可以改善学生对病人护理的态度。目的:研究目的是评估学生对学习沟通技巧的态度和看法。方法:共有122名在泰伦加纳邦一所医学院攻读MBBS二年级的学生参与了这项研究。问卷内容包括对沟通药理学的态度(沟通技巧态度量表)、对选择话题的兴趣以及对沟通药理学感兴趣的原因。使用李克特量表,得分范围从13到65,积极和消极态度的反应取中值。结果:研究结果显示,女生积极反应的中位数为56,男生为52,而女生消极反应的中位数为25,男生为27。各组间比较差异无统计学意义(p>0.05)。大多数学生选择与共情相关的沟通技巧作为他们的兴趣(30.33%),并认为这有助于建立未来的沟通技巧(31.33%)。结论:学生对沟通药理学的态度更积极,女生对沟通药理学的兴趣更大。
