About this study

Official title: Optimising the Relationship Between Medical Students and Patients Through a Motivational Interviewing Training Programme: a Pilot Pre-post Study

Objective is to evaluate the impact of a basic training programme in motivational interviewing (MI) for medical students, by comparing the ability of students to promote behavioural changes through relationship skills and to conduct a motivational interview before and after training.

Read the detailed description

Design: A pilot pre-post study in 20 students by comparing students' performance before and after MI training session.

Setting: Bicêtre Hospital, Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Paris, France.

Interventions: Students received three four-hour sessions of a basic MI training over a one week period. The students interviewed for 15 minutes a caregiver playing the role of a patient, six weeks before and three weeks after the training.

Main outcome measures: Global scores by two independent raters who used the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI) 3.1.1 code, perception of student's empathy by the caregivers (CARE questionnaire), self-efficacy of students to engage in a patient-centred relationship (SEPCQ score), and student's satisfaction with the odds of achieving the target goal.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • motivationnal interviewing trainingBehavioural

    The students received three four-hour sessions of basic motivationnal interviewing training :

    1. Viewing and commenting on video clips illustrating motivational and non-motivational doctor-patient interactions.
    2. Lectures and the distribution of memory aids.
    3. Practical exercises: making "reflections", asking open questions; exploring ambivalence; dealing with resistance; expressing empathy, summarising.
    4. Role-playing, based on several situations, each involving two students. The investigators deliberately chose a non-medical situation (conflict between a mother and a student asking her for pocket money to go out for fun, the day before a university examination) for the first situation. All the other situations concerned changes to healthier behaviour in a medical setting, but with a goal different from that used for the first or the second simulated interview before motivationnal interviewing training.
