Abstract:
Objective:To explore the application of Balint group activities in the doctor-patient communication skills training for standardized residency training of internal medicine.Methods:The students from Batch 2018 and some from Batch 2019 participating in the standardized residency training in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were selected as the research subjects. SPSS 22.0 was used to perform paired t test for comparison before and after training, and the SEGUE scale was used to evaluate the doctor-patient communication ability of the physicians before and after the training of the Balint group. A questionnaire survey was performed to collect their understanding of doctor-patient communication status and evaluate the training activities. Results:All the residents recognized the importance of doctor-patient communication and clarified the main reasons for the communication of doctors and patients. After receiving the training of doctor-patient communication focusing on group activities, the total score of SEGUE scale increased from (15.40±5.65) to (19.84±1.92), and the residents significantly improved their ability in such five dimensions as stopping inquiry, understanding patients, passing information, collecting information and ready to start ( P<0.001), with a satisfaction rate of 92.00% (69/75) for training methods and contents. Conclusion:The doctor-patient communication ability of the residents needs to be further improved. Balint group activities have enriched the form of doctor-patient communication training, which is helpful for doctors to strengthen their professional confidence and build a harmonious doctor-patient relationship.
