“…Finding from Lumma-Sellenthin [33] and Molinuevo et al [34] reproduced the gender efect known from earlier research [29,35], wherein it was identiied that female students were more positive towards communication skills training than their male peers. This was often explained by female students' stronger openness towards information-giving, partnershipbuilding and interest in psychosocial topics.…”

Introduction: Atitudes of nursing students towards learning nurse-patient communication skills have for long been a concern of lecturers, planners and policy-makers. The objectives of our study were to explore the atitudes of nursing students towards learning communication skills. Methodology and methods:The study used a quantitative non-experimental survey. Nursing students' atitudes were assessed using the Communication Skills Atitudes Scale (CSAS), which is comprised two scales measuring positive and negative atitudes. The reliability coeicient for two subscales was calculated using Cronbach's α, with the positive atitude scale (PAS) found to be 0.855, and the negative atitude scale (NAS) 0.733. Results:The mean score for PAS was 52.8, and the mean score for NAS was 32.7. There were no statistically signiicant diferences identiied when examining the positive atitude scale results and previous education (t = 1.434; p = 0.155) or mode of study (t = 1.566; p = 0.120), but we found statistically signiicant diferences (F = 10.950; p < 0.001) according to the year of the study. Principal component analysis identiied three factors, which explained 74% of the variance in the results.Conclusion: CSAS measures may be helpful for monitoring the efect of diferent teaching strategies on students' atitudes about communication skills during nursing education. It is recommended that communication skills training programmes are designed and incorporated into all nursing curriculum.

“…The Statistical Package for Social Sciences 16 (SPSS, version 16, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) was used for data analysis. Previous relevant studies guided the statistical analysis plan for the present study [ 10 , 32 ]. Descriptive analysis was performed to summarize sample characteristics and were presented as median and interquartile range (IQR), as all the continuous data did not adhere to normality distribution (Kolmogorov–Smirnov ≤ 0.05), and frequencies with percentages (F%) for categorical data.…”

Background: Communication skills (CS) learning is a core skill in medical and dental education. The comparison of attitudes towards CS between dental and medical students based on the taught curriculum (problem-based learning vs. traditional teaching) in Saudi Arabia awaits investigation. Aims: (1) To assess the attitudes of both undergraduate dental and medical students towards communication skills (CS) learning and (2) to compare the attitudes towards CS between Medical and Dental students in relation to sociodemographic and education-related characteristics. Methods and Materials: A cross-sectional study, using an online survey, invited 260 conveniently sampled Taibah university medical and dental undergraduate students. The survey collected data on sociodemographic characteristics, education-related factors, and CS using Communication Skills Attitude Scale (CSAS) that assess positive and negative attitudes (PAS, NAS). Data analysis included descriptive statistics and the Mann–Whitney U test. Results: Of the distributed questionnaire 91% responded (145 dental and 91 medical students). There were, overall, non-significant scores’ differences between medical and dental students on PAS (Medicine Median 51 vs. Dentistry Median 50, p = 0.059) and NAS (Medicine Median 32 vs. Dentistry Median 32, p = 0.596). Older medical students, those at clinical levels and those who reported they need to improve their communication skills and student whose parents were not doctors, tended to score statistically significantly (p = 0.032, 0.017, 0.034, and 0.004, respectively) on PAS compared with dental students; on the other hand, medical students with doctor parents scored significantly high in NAS compared to dental students (p = 0.015). Conclusion: Demographic and education-related characteristics underpinned medical student positive attitude towards CS compared to dental students. Although medical and dental students showed no differences in self-rating their attitudes towards (CS). Different factors influence medical and dental students’ attitudes towards CS learning.

“…Other publications indicate that professional experience does not play a statistically significant function in creating attitudes [16]. The reasons for these discrepancies may be found in four areas [13][14][15]. Firstly, shaping a positive attitude is labor-intensive and requires great personal engagement, therefore one's own work is of importance here.…”

“…Therefore, this is the environment that affects not only her well-being and life satisfaction, but also shapes and modifies her attitude towards patients, co-workers, and medical procedures [8]. Numerous studies stress the relationship between professional experience or the study year and the attitude towards acquiring communicative competences [9][10][11][12][13]. The function of professional experience in shaping attitudes towards acquiring communicative competences is not clear.…”

“…The function of professional experience in shaping attitudes towards acquiring communicative competences is not clear. There is research indicating that professional experience increasingly influences more positive attitudes [13,14], in others-the contrary [15].

The aim of the study was to assess the empirical model of factors determining the attitude towards acquiring communicative competences among nurses participating in the program of specialist training courses. Research was conducted using a cross-sectional study. A representative group of 1010 Polish registered nurses that took part in the postgraduate education course answered a self-report survey (three instruments: NEO-PI-R questionnaire, Communication Skills Attitude Scale (CSAS), and Empathy Understanding Questionnaire (KRE II)) from the beginning of March to the end of May 2018, which was evaluated using path analysis. The research results conducted confirmed the soundness of the created theoretical model (χ2 = 0.278, p = 0.598, RMSEA < 0.05). It was proved that acquiring communicative competences in nurses is determined by factors such as professional experience, empathic tendency, and the intensity of agreeableness, whereby these factors are bound with each other creating a homogeneous network. The developed model demonstrated that skills can most effectively be shaped in an individual’s attitude based on positive mentoring in work environment.
