“…The instruments used must prove to be valid and reliable. However, only fourteen of the articles reviewed provided data on the validity and reliability of the tool [26,28,[34][35][36][37]40,[42][43][44][45][46][47]. These issues suggest that researchers should consider the relevance of instruments to assess patient-centered communication before using them.…”

“…Following the analysis of the included articles, the contexts were mainly based on mental health [26,31,33,[35][36][37][38][39][40], end-of-life [32,43,47] and maternity [34]. Six studies focused on general patient-centered communication skills [28,41,42,[44][45][46]. Previous studies have indicated that interventions to teach nurse-patient communication skills target the most challenging clinical interactions [52].…”

“…However, the communication skills involved in everyday conversation with patients are equally important, especially given the perception that nurses lack the time to communicate with patients [68] or with chronically ill patients [7,8], and this was not addressed in the nursing students. Regarding the year that the nursing students were enrolled in, statistically significant improvements were observed in both the students enrolled in their first year [28,32,34,35,42] and those in their last year of the nursing degree [33,[37][38][39][44][45][46]. In addition, several studies indicate that communication skills training should be incorporated into the nursing degree curriculum every year.…”

“…Three studies used innovative educational methodologies, such as a blended learning environment [28], cooperative learning methods [41], and Case-Based learning [42]. Five studies focused their intervention on the development of courses [43][44][45][46][47], and four of the courses indicated the included activities.…”

Introduction: Nursing students establish therapeutic relationships with their patients and as future nursing professionals, they should be trained to be effective communicators. The objective of this systematic review was to know the impact of educational interventions on nursing students to develop their communication skills with patients. Methods: A systematic review of literature was carried out. The following databases were consulted: CINAHL, PubMed (Ovid Medline), SCOPUS and Web of Science. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guided this review. As for inclusion criteria, published articles in English from 2000 to 2020 were included. The methodological rigor of the included articles was evaluated with the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Randomized Controlled Trial or Quasi-Experimental Studies. Changes in communication skills with the patient after the implementation of an intervention were analyzed. Results: Of the included studies in this systematic review (N = 19), two studies were randomized controlled trials, others were single group quasi-experimental studies (N = 11) and two group quasi-experimental studies (n = 6). The majority of the studies were carried out in the USA (n = 7). The most frequent educational intervention was simulation (n = 11). As for the improvement of communication skills, 13 of the 19 articles found statistically significant differences in patient-centered communication skills of nursing students. Conclusions: This systematic review provides preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of interventions used to train nursing students in patient-centered communication. Although all the interventions obtained significant results in communication skills, it has not yet been determined which methodology is more effective.

“…Poor communication negatively influences patient safety outcomes (Bagnasco et al , ; Grant and Jenkins, ; Reader et al , 2014). Inadequate communication results in admission delays, delayed treatments, inadequate pain control and medication errors (Bigham et al , ; Lau and Wang, ; Callinan and Brandt, ). These issues are particularly problematic within the context of the ED (Bagnasco et al , ).…”
