Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Objective is to evaluate the impact of a basic training programme in motivational interviewing (MI) for medical students, by comparing the ability of students to promote behavioural changes through relationship skills and to conduct a motivational interview before and after training.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Design: A pilot pre-post study in 20 students by comparing students' performance before and after MI training session.

Setting: Bicêtre Hospital, Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Paris, France.

Interventions: Students received three four-hour sessions of a basic MI training over a one week period. The students interviewed for 15 minutes a caregiver playing the role of a patient, six weeks before and three weeks after the training.

Main outcome measures: Global scores by two independent raters who used the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI) 3.1.1 code, perception of student's empathy by the caregivers (CARE questionnaire), self-efficacy of students to engage in a patient-centred relationship (SEPCQ score), and student's satisfaction with the odds of achieving the target goal.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

First group

Students received three four-hour sessions of a basic motivationnal interviewing training over a one week period. The students interviewed for 15 minutes a caregiver playing the role of a patient, six weeks before and three weeks after the training.

Group Type OTHER

motivationnal interviewing training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The students received three four-hour sessions of basic motivationnal interviewing training :

1. Viewing and commenting on video clips illustrating motivational and non-motivational doctor-patient interactions.
2. Lectures and the distribution of memory aids.
3. Practical exercises: making "reflections", asking open questions; exploring ambivalence; dealing with resistance; expressing empathy, summarising.
4. Role-playing, based on several situations, each involving two students. The investigators deliberately chose a non-medical situation (conflict between a mother and a student asking her for pocket money to go out for fun, the day before a university examination) for the first situation. All the other situations concerned changes to healthier behaviour in a medical setting, but with a goal different from that used for the first or the second simulated interview before motivationnal interviewing training.

Second group

Students received three four-hour sessions of a basic motivationnal interviewing training over a one week period. The students interviewed for 15 minutes a caregiver playing the role of a patient, six weeks before and three weeks after the training.
