Stimulating communication is an important workplace issue. We investigated the effects of a brief communication skills training (CST) program based on the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 206 white-collar workers. The intervention group underwent a 2-hour CST group training conducted by an occupational physician.
The results of the intention-to-treat analysis using a mixed-effects model showed that there was a significant interaction between group and time observed for the item "thinking together to solve problems and issues" (P = 0.02). The effect size (Cohen d) was 0.35 (95% confidence interval, 0.07 to 0.62).
The present study suggests that a brief CST based on the principles of CBT could improve the communication behavior of workers.
促进沟通是一个重要的职场问题。我们基于认知行为疗法(CBT)的原则,研究了一个简短的沟通技能培训(CST)项目的效果。
对206名白领进行了一项随机对照试验。干预组接受了由职业医师进行的为时2小时的CST小组培训。
使用混合效应模型进行的意向性分析结果显示,对于“共同思考以解决问题”这一项目,观察到组与时间之间存在显著交互作用(P = 0.02)。效应量(科恩d值)为0.35(95%置信区间,0.07至0.62)。
本研究表明,基于CBT原则的简短CST可以改善员工的沟通行为。
