Brief Summary

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

Specific feedback is considered an important strategy in communication skills training (CST). However, the effects of specific feedback on communication skills have not been comprehensively investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of specific feedback based on an in-depth assessment tool for CST (CST-SF) in occupational therapy interns' communication skills.

Detailed Description

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

A one-group pretest-posttest study was conducted. Thirty-six interns received CST-SF combined with patient interviews and brief feedback. Each intern completed three interviews with different patients. After the interviews, the interns were given brief feedback based on the Gap-Kalamazoo Communication Skills Assessment Form (GKCSAF) and specific feedback based on the Communication Skills Measure for Therapists. The first and last interviews were assessed by experts, clinical instructors, interns, and patients using the GKCSAF.

Study Groups

CST-SF group

The feedback process was as follows. Feedback was given after each interview, including brief feedback and SF. Brief feedback was provided by the clinical instructor based on the Gap-Kalamazoo Communication Skills Assessment Form immediately after each interview. Within two weeks after the first and second interviews, the interns received SF from experts and clinical instructors based on the Communication Skills Measure for Therapist. The SF of the third interview could not be completed because the internship had ended.
