Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Satisfaction Survey of Residents in the Experimental Group

    The satisfaction survey was divided into five levels, ranging from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree". The higher percent of agree means better result.

    12 months

  • Comparison of the SEGUE scale scores Between the Experimental Group and the Control Group

    The SEGUE scale scores were generated by assigning a value of "1" for "yes", "0" for "no" and "0.5" for "cannot answer". High scores indicate stronger clinical communication skills.

    12 months

  • Comparison of the JSE-S scale scores Between the Experimental Group and the Control Group

    The JSE-S scale scores adopts a 7-point Likert scale ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree". The higher total score indicating a greater level of empathy.

    12 months

  • Comparison of the SEGUE scale in Different Grades Before and After Training in the Experimental Group

    The SEGUE scale scores were generated by assigning a value of "1" for "yes", "0" for "no" and "0.5" for "cannot answer". High scores indicate stronger clinical communication skills.
