Clinical Trial Summary

In a study conducted by Lewis et al. in 2008, an "interpersonal communication" questionnaire was developed to measure the perceived interpersonal skills of physiotherapy and rehabilitation students regarding patient interaction. It was determined that the questionnaire used especially after the simulated patient training increased the communication of physiotherapy and rehabilitation students after the simulated patient training. However, the questionnaire was not translated into Turkish and its validity and reliability were not investigated. Therefore, in this study, the authors aim to investigate the Turkish validity and reliability of the Interpersonal Communication Questionnaire as the primary purpose. Secondly, to investigate the effect of simulated patient experience on the perceived interpersonal skills of physiotherapy and rehabilitation students regarding patient interaction at the time of the clinical trial.

Other:
• simulated patient
In the last month of the Measurement and Evaluation course in Physiotherapy, a simulated patient session will be held four times (with disease in the cervical-lumbar-shoulder and knee region). Students will be evaluated by the methods they learned about patients. 10 days before and after the simulated patient sessions, the questionnaire will be applied in Turkish for validity and reliability, and then the questionnaire will be repeated after the simulated patient sessions are over, and the effect of the smile patient sessions on the perceived communication skills of the patient will be examined.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Interpersonal Communication Questionnaire	Eight statements were constructed; four related to a sub-scale measuring factors associated with communication anxiety, and four related to communication confidence.; Each statement had a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree. Sub-scale scores ranged from a possible 4-20; a higher score indicating either higher levels of communication confidence or anxiety.	Change from Baseline Scores at 2 week and 6. week
Secondary	Visual Analog Scale	A visual analog scale between 0 and 10 will be used to evaluate communication anxiety, stress, motivation and success that may occur when students go into clinical practice at the beginning and end of the term and when they meet with the patient.Zero will be determined to be none at all, and 10 to the maximum I can think of	Change from Baseline Scores at 6. week
Secondary	Interpersonal Communication Competence Inventory	Huang and Lin (18) developed the CITI based on four basic skill areas (listening skill, empathy skill, expression skill, social relaxation skill) in order to evaluate the communication competence of university students in accordance with the relational approach.The scores that can be obtained from the measurement tool vary between 15 and 75. Items 10 and 13 are reverse scored. A high score on the measurement tool indicates a high level of interpersonal communication competence.	Change from Baseline Scores at 6. week
