The effect of undergraduate education in communication skills: a randomised controlled clinical trial

Abstract: It could be demonstrated that solely interacting with patients during a clinical treatment course did not inevitably improve professional communication skills. In contrast, implementation of a course in communication skills improved the practical competence in dentist-patient interaction.

“…It was shown that solely interacting with patients during a clinical treatment course does not per se improve professional communication skills. In contrast, implementation of a communication skills course enhanced the practical competence in dentist-patient interaction (26). Guiles and Tatum showed in a retrospective study that generic communication skills acquired during the time of undergraduate studies are applied in everyday praxis (27).…”

“…An allen zahnmedizinischen Ausbildungsstandorten in Deutschland ist erkennbar, dass im Vergleich zum "traditionellen" Ausbildungskonzept, wie es zum Zeitpunkt des Inkrafttretens der zahnärzt-lichen Approbationsordnung bestand und durch Kapazitätsrecht ab den 1970er-Jahren im Zeichen der "Massenuniversität" beeinflusst wurde (unter anderem deutliche Technik-Orientierung, breite Anwendung von Frontalvorlesungen, Praktika und klinische Demonstrationen in Groß-gruppenstärke, in klinischen Kursen ungünstige Betreuungsrelationen), zeitgemäße Reformen Einzug in die Ausbildung gehalten haben und somit von einer Modernisierung der Ausbildung gesprochen werden kann [17,18,19,20,21]. Im Vergleich der Standorte ist das Ausmaß der Reformbemühungen allerdings durchaus unterschiedlich: Es reicht von der Anwendung einer speziellen innovativen Methodik in bestimmten einzelnen Lehrveranstaltungen oder vom Angebot zusätzli-cher Themenbereiche in einem speziellen Fachsemester bis zur thematischen und methodischen Umgestaltung von Lehrveranstaltungen mehrerer Fächer im vorklinischen beziehungsweise klinischen Teil des zahnmedizinischen Curriculums.…”

“…4,5 As a result, communication skills have become part of dental curricula in several countries. [6][7][8][9][10][11] For medical curricula, there are several consensus statements defining necessary skills and contents or demonstrating the longitudinal alignment of such curricula regarding the training of communicative competences [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] ; for dental curricula, the literature is only limited. 19 In 2013, the teaching committee of the European Association for Communication in Health care published European consensus on learning objectives for a core curriculum in healthcare professions.…”
