Abstract Background The doctor-patient relationship in China has deteriorated in recent years, and poor doctor-patient communication is one of the main reasons. How to effectively carry out doctor-patient communication training originated from the West among Chinese medical students still to be studied. In the past decade, Peking Union Medical College has adopted clinical scenario drama to teach doctor-patient relationship and clinical communication skills. The aim of this study was to introduce clinical scenario dramas and evaluate its effectiveness in promoting doctor-patient relationships and clinical communication skills through students’ self-perceptions in Chinese medical students. Methods This study was a retrospective, self-controlled study and conducted from March 2009 to October 2018. Doctor-patient relationship and communication skills training were administered to all sixth-year medical students, which involved lectures and various clinical scenario dramas. The program totaled 24 h, of which each class session was 3 h, with 8 sessions in total. All students were requested to complete an anonymous 5 likert self-rating survey including self-confidence in using communication skills and self-perceived learning attitude and ability before and at the end of the course. In addition, they were requested to evaluate the curriculum after completion of the course. Results Clinical scenario dramas helped students improve their self-confidence in clinical communication skills except for psychosomatic history taking (p < 0.05). The interests for participation in clinical scenario dramas were higher compared to attending lectures (4.39 ± 0.610 Vs 4.07 ± 0.831, p<0.01). Study participants were highly satisfied in the course setting, teaching instructors and content (4.61 ± 0.546, 4.65 ± 0.535, 4.63 ± 0.534). The self-evaluation results demonstrated that clinical scenario dramas improved the learning ability of medical students (p < 0.05). Conclusion The use of clinical scenario dramas was helpful in teaching doctor-patient communication skills.

Recent studies in Korea show that doctors have suffered a severe loss of image among their patients, due to their authoritarian, unempathic, and unfriendly communication behaviour. These findings were confirmed by studies of their communication styles done with conversation analysis. Training courses for medical students in doctor–patient communication have become mandatory, but are short and to date have provided no significant change; the ethical foundations of doctors when dealing with patients remained untouched. This chapter explores how the humanistic concepts of narrative medicine and can provide better understanding between doctors and patients. This ‘narrative spirit’ resonates with traditional values of Buddhism and Confucianism that are deeply rooted in Korean culture. It discusses a training programme for doctors working with text analysis of narrative interviews of patients’ illness experiences and shows how using patients’ stories may evoke this ‘narrative spirit’ and combine traditional ethical values with modern medical education.

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.
