• Registration Number: NCT03285828

Brief Summary

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.

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.
