Abstract:
The study was conducted among 120 general practitioners (GPs) in Shanghai Fengxian District from August 2022 to March 2024, the participants were randomly divided into two age-matched groups with 60 GPs in each group. The intervention group completed a 3-month SPOC (Small Private Online Course)program, including two weeks of narrative medicine theory (concepts, questioning skills, parallel medical record writing, and professionalism) followed by monthly writing practices (three parallel records per month) and group discussions. Both groups performed routine clinical tasks, while the control group received no narrative medicine training. Baseline data were collected, Jefferson Empathy Scale scores, and Doctor-Patient Communication Skills Evaluation Scale scores were evaluated pre- and post-intervention. There were no significant differences in empathy ( P>0.05) or communication skills ( P>0.05) between two groups before the intervention. Post-intervention, both groups showed improved empathy (both P<0.05) and communication skills (both P<0.05) after intervention, while the intervention group were outperforming the control group in both measures ( P<0.05). These findings suggest that SPOC-based narrative competence training effectively enhances the empathy and doctor-patient communication abilities of general practitioners.
