Objective:To investigate the application value of scenario simulation combined with standardized patient teaching in the training of doctor-patient communication skills among interns.Methods:A total of 110 clinical medicine interns were selected from Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and were divided into experimental group and control group using a random number table, with 55 interns in each group. The interns in the control group received traditional lecturing, and those in the experimental group received scenario simulation combined with standardized patient case-based teaching. The SEGUE Communication Skill Evaluation Scale and Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire were used to assess the improvement in communication skills in both groups, and Physician Self-Evaluation Scale and Course Satisfaction Questionnaire were used to assess the effectiveness of the course and the degree of satisfaction with the course. SPSS 26.0 was used for the t-test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the rank sum test. Results:After training, both groups showed significant improvements in communication skills and patient satisfaction [experimental group in terms of communication skills: (55.38±13.11) vs. (74.82±6.75), P<0.001; experimental group in terms of patient satisfaction: 39.00 (39.00, 42.00) vs. 81.00 (79.00, 83.00), P<0.01; control group in terms of communication skills: (56.53±12.34) vs. (65.45±10.18), P<0.001; control group in terms of patient satisfaction: 39.00 (39.00, 42.00) vs. 73.00 (68.00, 77.00), P<0.001], and the experimental group had significantly higher scores than the control group [communication skills: (74.82±6.75) vs. (65.45±10.18), P<0.001; patient satisfaction: 81.00 (79.00, 83.00) vs. 73.00 (68.00, 77.00), P<0.001]. The Physician Self-Evaluation Scale showed that the experimental group had a significant improvement compared with the control group ( P<0.05). The results of the Course Satisfaction Questionnaire showed that the degree of overall satisfaction of the course was only 87.28% in the control group, while all the interns in the experimental group were satisfied with the course ( P<0.001); the new teaching method showed great advantages ( P<0.001). Conclusions:In the training of doctor-patient communication skills among interns, the application of scenario simulation combined with standardized patient case-based teaching can significantly improve their abilities of the application of knowledge application, humanistic concern, and communication skills, and therefore, it is an effective and promising method for the training of doctor-patient communication skills.
