Interprofessional education (IPE) provides opportunities to postgraduates to develop communication skills which are vital for interactions with patients, their relatives, colleagues, paramedical and nursing staff. There is a need to develop an innovative IPE based module on communication skills for postgraduates stressing upon the existing lacunae and requirements detected by a validated assessment tool. We assessed the residents' appraisal of communication skills by a validated questionnaire to identify key areas to improve their communication skills and to determine perceptions of all the stakeholders i.e. faculty, nursing staff and paramedical staff.
A descriptive correlational design using an online self-administered questionnaire on a sample of a total of 200 participants comprising residents, paramedical staff, nursing staff and faculty of tertiary care hospital. Study was approved by the Institutional Ethical Committee. Data was analysed by SPSS Version 22.0 used. (p value < 0.05 significant).
The participants included 113 residents, 17 paramedical staff, 33 Nursing staff and 37 faculty members. The present study found a significant difference of scores of means between the residents, faculty, paramedical staff and nursing staff p value < 0.05 except for alter centrism, interaction management and environmental control. The mean scores were also significantly different between the first, second and third year residents.
This study validates the need to enhance the communication skills of residents. The scores obtained will help us design and refine IPE module for the benefit of the residents.
跨专业教育（IPE）为研究生提供了培养沟通技巧的机会，这些技巧对于与患者及其亲属、同事、辅助医疗人员和护理人员的互动至关重要。有必要为研究生开发一个基于IPE的创新沟通技巧模块，强调通过经过验证的评估工具发现的现有缺陷和需求。我们通过一份经过验证的问卷评估了住院医师对沟通技巧的评价，以确定提高他们沟通技巧的关键领域，并确定所有利益相关者（即教员、护理人员和辅助医疗人员）的看法。
采用描述性相关设计，使用在线自填问卷，对一家三级护理医院的200名参与者（包括住院医师、辅助医疗人员、护理人员和教员）进行抽样调查。该研究获得了机构伦理委员会的批准。使用SPSS 22.0版本进行数据分析。（p值<0.05具有显著性）。
参与者包括113名住院医师、17名辅助医疗人员、33名护理人员和37名教员。本研究发现，住院医师、教员、辅助医疗人员和护理人员之间的平均得分存在显著差异（p值<0.05），但在自我中心主义、互动管理和环境控制方面除外。第一年、第二年和第三年住院医师之间的平均得分也存在显著差异。
本研究证实了提高住院医师沟通技巧的必要性。获得的分数将帮助我们设计和完善IPE模块，以造福住院医师。
