Summary

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

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.
