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.
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.
