Brief 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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• 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 Outcomes (2)

• Visual Analog Scale

  Change from Baseline Scores at 6. week

• Interpersonal Communication Competence Inventory

  Change from Baseline Scores at 6. week

Study Arms (1)

Students

60 second-year students studying at the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation at University are planned to attend.

Other: simulated patient

Interventions

simulated patient OTHER

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.
