Abstract:
Thirty assistant general practitioners (GPs) of Jiading District Shanghai were trained for clinical skills and communication skills by using standardized patients (SP) in outpatient department from January to April 2014.The scores of clinical skills and communication skills were evaluated and compared before and two months after training.The results showed that the score of clinical skills [(72 ± 5) vs (56 ± 7), t=7.871, P<0.05] and communication skills [(71 ±4) vs (45 ±5), t =9.573, P<0.05] were significantly improved after training.After training, the scores of medical history taking [(36 ±5) vs (28 ± 6), t =4.352], clinical thinking [(17 ± 2) vs (14 ± 3), t =3.974], health education [(3 ± 1) vs (2 ± 1), t =3.090] and medical record v,riting [(13 ± 1) vs (8 ±2), t =5.317] were significantly higher than those before training (all P < 0.05).But there was no difference in reception time management [(4 ± 0) vs (4 ± 0), t =1.025] before and after training (P > 0.05).After training, the scores and the proportions of the trainees qualified for building physician-patient relationship [(20 ± 3) vs (15 ± 4), t =4.056],collecting information and providing feedback [(22 ±4) vs (13 ±3), t =4.682], understanding complaints from patients' perspective [(5 ± 2) vs (3 ± 2), t =3.107], sharing information and obtaining informed consent [(19 ± 4) vs (11 ± 5), t =4.322] and closing consultation [(6 ± 2) vs (3 ± 1), t =2.987] were higher than before training (all P < 0.05).The results indicate that training by using SP can effectively improve the clinical skills and communication skills of assistant GPs.
