Abstract Objective: To evaluate the communicative ability of doctor-patient education for postgraduates majoring in oncology radiotherapy, and to discuss the training mode and effect. Methods: From January 1, 2018 to June 1, 2019, clinical interns of oncology radiotherapy in our hospital (all graduate students) were selected as the research subjects and randomly divided into two groups. A total of 60 cancer radiotherapy interns were randomly divided into experimental group (30 persons) and control group (30 persons); CBL teaching model (introducing training of doctor-patient communication skills) is adopted in experimental group, and traditional CBL teaching model is used in control group. After the end of the teaching, the two groups’ teaching effects are evaluated through the combination of examinations and questionnaires. SPSS 19.0 was applied to do statistical analysis, t test and Wilcoxon were used. Results: SEGUE baseline score of experimental group for doctorpatient communication skills is better than that of SEGUE in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The CBL teaching model which introduces training of doctor-patient communication skills in the practical process in cancer radiotherapy division is conducive to develop practitioners’ good doctor-patient communication and interaction skills.

Abstract Background: To cultivate the doctor-patient communication ability of medical students as the core and explore the new model of clinical communication ability training and evaluation for graduate students majoring in tumour radiotherapy and its application value.Methods: From January 2018 to June 2019, 60 postgraduates who were interned in the Department of Tumour Radiotherapy in our hospital were selected as the subjects, who were randomly divided into the experimental group (30) and control group (30). The experimental group adopted the Case Based Learning(CBL) teaching mode of introducing doctor-patient communication skills training, and the control group adopted the traditional CBL teaching method. After the teaching, the two groups of students were evaluated, measured and gave feedback on the effect of the teaching through the combination of examination and patient satisfaction questionnaire. The data were statistically analysed by SPSS19.0 software.Results: The doctor-patient communication skills assessment scale score of the experimental group was better than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Patients' satisfaction in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion: The CBL teaching mode of introducing doctor-patient communication skills training for postgraduates of tumour radiotherapy can increase doctor-patient communication ability and improve patient satisfaction.

Abstract Objective To explore the relationship among patient perception of doctors' empathy, doctor-patient communication, and doctor-patient relationship.Methods From November 2019 to April 2020, we used the CARE scale, the SEGUE framework and the PDRQ-15 scale to survey 3,039 patients from 14 provinces in China, ranging in age from 18 to 92 years old.Results 1. The age of the patient, the level and type of hospital, the length of consultation, and the presence or absence of verbal and physical conflict have significant differences in the scores of perceived empathy; 2. There was a significantly positive correlation among patient's perceived empathy, doctor-patient communication, and the doctor-patient relationship (r = 0.65 ~ 0.75, p < 0.001). 3. The patient's perception of doctor empathy can not only directly predict doctor-patient relationship (β = 0.75, p < 0.001), but also influence doctor-patient relationship through the mediating effect of doctor-patient communication (β = 0.56, p < 0.001). Besides, the scores of CARE can effectively explain the variation of each stage of doctor-patient communication skills (R2 = 0.28 ~ 0.37) and the satisfaction (52%) and approachability (54%) of the doctor-patient relationship scale.Conclusion The age of the patient, the type and level of the hospital, and the consultation time affected perceived empathy. Doctor-patient communication plays a partial mediating effect in the influence of empathy on the doctor-patient relationship.Practice implications: Medical institutes should improve the medical environment and carry out humanistic education and patient-centered communication skills training for doctors. These approaches will enhance patients' perceived empathy and therefore improve the doctor-patient relationship.

This study aims to produce soccer passing and control skills training models based on small side games for ages 12-14 years and to test the effectiveness of the models produced. The research method used in this study is the research and development method of Borg and Gall by using 10 stages and with the research subjects are football athletes aged 12-14 years in the East Jakarta football school. This research begins with needs analysis, planning, making trial products, revisions and final products. Test the effectiveness of the model using the loughborough soccer test (LSPT) which is used to determine the level of passing and control abilities of the athlete before and after the treatment model developed. The results of the study show that the product model of this exercise is feasible to use, in the results of small group trials and large groups can explain that the model as a whole can be done well. In the results of the effectiveness test, test the significance of differences with SPSS 16 Independent Samples Test obtained results in the experimental group with an average of 47.61 and the control group with an average of 49.80, these results derived from the test scores in the form of the final time velocity, so the time is smaller the better it gets. Fill in the results of the experimental group and the control group or mean difference = 2.188, t-count = 3.845, df = 58, with ¬-value = 0.000 <0.05, it can be concluded that there are significant differences between the experimental group and the control group. These results indicate that the treatment given to the experimental group, namely the passing and control soccer skills training model based on small side games for 12-14 year olds has higher effectiveness and can improve passing and control skills for athletes aged 12-14 years.

Nursing is a relational profession and communication is the basic instrument in its practice. The Nursing Relational Laboratory aims to collaborate in the development of communication skills of students of the Nursing, using Portuguese sign language, dramatization and emotional facial expression. 73 students participated (Experimental group; EG; n=38; Control group; CG; n=35). General self-efficacy scale(GSES), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 Depression Module(PHQ-9), assertiveness questionnaire(ASS), Emotional Thermometer(ET), Inventory of Barrett-Lennard interpersonal relations(OS-M-40), and autoscopies, are used. The main results were as follows: a) better outcomes of EG on final autoscopy; b) significant reduction of the levels of assertiveness and revolt from the beginning to the end in EG; c) lower levels of emotional distress and need for help of EG, compared with CG at the beginning; d) lower levels of emotional distress, anxiety, need for help, empathy and congruence, and higher levels of revolt and unconditionality in EG, at the end; e) teachers recognize the high potential of the LRE. The LRE allowed the development of communicational skills of GE students through sign language, drama and emotion analysis. It is incentivized the development of projects in the area and reinforces the importance of this skills training in health professionals.

Purpose The aim of this study was to identify the effects of a communication skills training (CST) program for oncologists, developed based on patient preferences regarding oncologists' communication. Participants and Methods Thirty oncologists were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (IG; 2-day CST workshop) or control group (CG). Participants were assessed on their communication performance during simulated consultation and their confidence in communicating with patients at baseline and follow-up. A total of 1,192 patients (response rate, 84.6%) who had consultations with the participating oncologists at baseline and/or follow-up were assessed regarding their distress using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, satisfaction with the consultation, and trust in their oncologist after the consultation. Results At the follow-up survey, the performance scores of the IG had improved significantly, in terms of their emotional support (P = .011), setting up a supportive environment (P = .002), and ability to deliver information (P = .001), compared with those of the CG. Oncologists in the IG were rated higher at follow-up than those in the CG in terms of their confidence in themselves (P = .001). Patients who met with oncologists after they had undergone the CST were significantly less depressed than those who met with oncologists in the CG (P = .027). However, the CST program did not affect patient satisfaction with oncologists' style of communication. Conclusion A CST program based on patient preferences is effective for both oncologists and patients with cancer. Oncologists should consider CST as an approach to enhancing their communication skills.
