“…Finding from Lumma-Sellenthin [33] and Molinuevo et al [34] reproduced the gender efect known from earlier research [29,35], wherein it was identiied that female students were more positive towards communication skills training than their male peers. This was often explained by female students' stronger openness towards information-giving, partnershipbuilding and interest in psychosocial topics.…”

Introduction: Atitudes of nursing students towards learning nurse-patient communication skills have for long been a concern of lecturers, planners and policy-makers. The objectives of our study were to explore the atitudes of nursing students towards learning communication skills. Methodology and methods:The study used a quantitative non-experimental survey. Nursing students' atitudes were assessed using the Communication Skills Atitudes Scale (CSAS), which is comprised two scales measuring positive and negative atitudes. The reliability coeicient for two subscales was calculated using Cronbach's α, with the positive atitude scale (PAS) found to be 0.855, and the negative atitude scale (NAS) 0.733. Results:The mean score for PAS was 52.8, and the mean score for NAS was 32.7. There were no statistically signiicant diferences identiied when examining the positive atitude scale results and previous education (t = 1.434; p = 0.155) or mode of study (t = 1.566; p = 0.120), but we found statistically signiicant diferences (F = 10.950; p < 0.001) according to the year of the study. Principal component analysis identiied three factors, which explained 74% of the variance in the results.Conclusion: CSAS measures may be helpful for monitoring the efect of diferent teaching strategies on students' atitudes about communication skills during nursing education. It is recommended that communication skills training programmes are designed and incorporated into all nursing curriculum.

“…The level of communication skills among students of the healthcare professions have been explored in a number of studies. However, most of the studies aimed at attitudes towards the importance of communication skills were focused on medical students [8][9][10][11]. Examining the attitudes towards communication skills among students of health care professions is important due to a close relationship between individual's attitudes and behaviour in social situations, as shown in the often cited "Theory of reasoned action" [12].…”

The aim of the study is to examine the relationships between attitudes towards communication skills, self-evaluation of communication abilities, and sense of coherence among students of nursing. A cross-sectional correlational study design was employed. Altogether, 227 university nursing students participated in the study (20.53 ± 2.04; 96.9% females). Communication Skills Attitudes Scale (CSAS), Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC), and short self-evaluation scale of communication ability of own design were used. The results showed a high average score in the positive attitudes subscale and moderate negative attitudinal scores in the CSAS questionnaire, as well as positive self-evaluation of the communication abilities among students. The positive subscale of the CSAS was positively related to the sense of coherence (p = 0.05), while the negative subscale of the CSAS was negatively related to the sense of coherence (p ≤ 0.001). The study showed that sense of coherence is associated with more positive attitudes towards communication skills. Understanding the factors associated with the effective communication strategies provides an important base for improving the content of the current communication curriculum in nursing study programs.

“…Pada variabel pengalaman berorganisasi, hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa sikap positif lebih banyak ditemukan pada kelompok yang memiliki pengalaman berorganisasi, akan tetapi tidak disertai dengan perbedaan yang bermakna (p>0,05). Temuan ini sejalan dengan penelitian Sylviningrum 23 bahwa mahasiswa dengan pengalaman berorganisasi aktif memiliki keterampilan komunikasi lebih baik; dengan kata lain pengalaman berorganisasi akan membentuk sikap positif terhadap keterampilan komunikasi.…”

This study aimed to determine the difference in attitudes among students in Faculty of Medicine Pattimura University Ambon toward medical communication skills.
