“…among medical students during their preclinical years, which means that health-care centers are not providing enough of these resources. Use of simulated patients, role-plays and other learning techniques should be enhanced among medical students prior to their experience with real patients, as they have shown to improve students' communicating skills, con dence and teamwork [14][15][16][17][18].…”

Background: During clinical rotations, medical students experience situations in which the patients’ right to privacy may be violated. The aim of this study is to analyze medical students' perception of clinical situations that affect patients' right to privacy or intimacy, and to look for the influential factors that may contribute to the infringement on their rights, such as age, gender, academic year or parents’ educational level.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a survey via “Google Drive”. It consisted of 16 questions about personal information, 24 questions about their experience when rotating and 22 questions about their opinion concerning several situations related to the right to privacy. Results: 129 medical students from various Spanish medical schools participated. Only 31% of 3rd-6th year students declared to have signed a confidentiality agreement when starting their clinical practice, and most students (52%) reported that doctors “sometimes”, “rarely” or “never” introduce themselves and the students when entering the patients’ rooms. Additionally, about 50% of all students reported that they would take a picture of a patient’s hospitalization report without his/her (consent), which would be useful for an assignment. Conclusions: Important mistakes during medical students’ rotations have been observed, as well as general lack of knowledge regarding patient’s right to privacy among Spanish medical students. Men and older students showed better knowledge of current legislation, as well as those whose parents were both college-educated and those in higher academic years. Informative courses and law teaching should be enhanced so that patients’ right to privacy may be better guaranteed.

“…O role-play é uma técnica de ensino na qual os participantes assumem determinado papel e interagem com outras pessoas em um cenário específico, tentando agir como o personagem agiria na situação que imita a vida real e que pode ser aplicada em diversos aspectos da comunicação médico-paciente. 11,12 Essa técnica pode ser utilizada com pacientes simulados, atores, estudantes veteranos ou mesmo colegas de classe e está baseada numa série de etapas: (a) preparação da atividade pelo facilitador; (b) criação de um ambiente seguro e favorável à aprendizagem; (c) escolha e uso do cenário a ser simulado; (d) condução da sessão; (e) feedback 13 .…”

RESUMO Contexto Comunicação adequada é uma habilidade clínica e, portanto, deve fazer parte dos currículos nas escolas médicas. Várias técnicas podem ser empregadas para ensinar habilidades de comunicação aos estudantes de Medicina. Objetivo Relatar experiência baseada na utilização da técnica de role-play na aprendizagem e satisfação dos estudantes de Medicina na realização da entrevista médica. Métodos Estudo transversal com alunos da disciplina de Semiologia em três etapas distintas: entendimento da teoria, aplicação prática na simulação por representação de papéis (role-play) entre os alunos e gravação de vídeo com pacientes internados no hospital.O desempenho dos estudantes no role-play e no vídeo gravado foi avaliado com base em instrumento adaptado do Guia Calgary-Cambridge. Também foi realizada uma pesquisa de satisfação com os estudantes no final do semestre. Resultados Foram avaliados 30 estudantes, 43% dos quais não foram capazes de detalhar adequadamente os sintomas durante a simulação, porém na gravação do vídeo não apresentaram esta dificuldade. Em relação ao desempenho na simulação e no vídeo, cinco estudantes (16,6%) mantiveram o mesmo desempenho; um estudante (3,3%) apresentou desempenho inferior; e 25 estudantes (83%) apresentaram melhora do desempenho na entrevista com os pacientes em relação à simulação. A grande maioria (92,5%) dos estudantes considerou a atividade útil na sua formação. Conclusão O uso da técnica de role-play no ensino da anamnese apresentou-se como um método de aprendizagem útil e foi bem aceito pelos estudantes de Medicina participantes deste estudo.

“…It also gives a space for learners to practise and receive feedback [27]. Previous studies have shown that role play is effective in enhancing communication skills [28,29], in addition recent studies have shown that students consider peer-role play as an essential tool to acquire effective communication skills [30].…”

Objectives: To determine UK pharmacists’ experiences of their current communication skills and undergraduate training and to identify communication skills training and teaching at UK schools of pharmacy. Methods: Two surveys were developed. The first survey was sent to UK practicing pharmacists examining their current communication skills and interest in behavioural counselling techniques such as Motivational Interviewing (MI). A second survey was sent to all UK Schools of Pharmacy investigating communication skills training and teaching. Results: In the first survey pharmacists reported low satisfaction with their undergraduate communication skills training. A convenience sample of 109 UK pharmacists responded to the first survey. Forty-four per cent (n = 48) of the respondents stated that they continued their professional development in communication skills after an undergraduate degree. Seventy (65.4%) were not familiar with behavioural counselling techniques such as MI. The most common patient consultation delivered by pharmacists was around adherence to medicine 22.4% (n = 50). Pharmacists expressed a need for further training in clinical areas such as mental health 25.7% (n = 80). Results from the second survey to pharmacy schools showed that Schools of Pharmacy response rate was 60% (18/30). All 18 schools stated that they teach health behaviour change consultation skills and this is mostly delivered by a clinical pharmacist. Teaching communication skills was mostly delivered as role play with peers (n = 17). Conclusion: This first national survey of communication skills training in Schools of Pharmacy shows that newer graduates have received more communication training compared to older graduates, however pharmacists’ respondents still felt that they were under prepared for behaviour change patient consultations. MI training would be welcomed by those. Practice Implications: Structured courses in communication skills, including behavioural change techniques, are needed for practicing UK pharmacists.
