“…For example, one study conducted in 18 first- and second-year medical students with no previous exposure to transurethral resection of prostate in the operating room, showed that for acquisition of transurethral resection skills, task deconstruction is superior to full-task training alone 10. Kuntze et al also demonstrated that microskills training in the counseling communication domain is a very effective method 6. Our findings in this study are compatible with the aforementioned studies.…”

BackgroundEvery procedural skill consists of some microskills. One of the effective techniques for teaching a main procedural skill is to deconstruct the skill into a series of microskills and train students on each microskill separately. When we learn microskills, we will learn the main skill also. This model can be beneficial for tuition on procedural skills.ObjectiveIn this study, we propose a stationed-based deconstructed training model for tuition of each microskill, and then we assessed the medical students’ self-perceived abilities.MethodsThis quasi-experimental study was conducted in 268 medical students (536 matched pre- and post-questionnaires) at the surgical clerkship stage during five consecutive years in three teaching and learning groups. In this study, we taught each skill in 10 steps (proposed model) to the students. We then evaluated the students’ self-perceived abilities using a pre- and post-self-assessment technique. SPSS v13 software with one-way analysis of variance and paired t-tests were used for data collection and analysis.ResultsAssessment of medical students’ perceived abilities before and after training showed a significant improvement (P < 0.001) in both cognitive and practical domains. There were also significant differences between the three teaching and learning groups (P < 0.001). There were no significant differences for the different years of training regarding the observed improvement.ConclusionThis study suggests that deconstructing the practical skills into microskills and tuition of those microskills via the separated structured educational stations is effective according to the students’ self-ratings.

“…Students in the study exhibited an increase in reflection of client feeling (conveying empathy), as well as a decrease in the use of closed-ended questions. Kutze, van der Molen, and Born (2009) found that psychology students who were taught this method exhibited similar counseling behaviors, especially in terms of those associated with empathy. In a small study of academic advisors, Bartnett, Roach, and Smith (2006) found that learning the microskills associated with attending behavior strengthened advisor-advisee relationships.…”

Connecting With Frequent Adolescent Visitors to the School Nurse Through the Use of Intentional Interviewing

Nurses as accessible, helping adults within schools have daily opportunities to reach adolescents with unmet mental health needs. Understanding the relationship between frequent clinic visits or somatic complaints as a sign of underlying problems, which may be organic or psychoemotional in origin, requires the unique skill set of the school nurse. The welcoming school nurse, who cares for students with acceptance and emotional availability, nurtures the development of trust and meaningful personal connection. It is through this relationship that effective care and case finding occurs. Attachment to the school nurse as a responsive adult fosters a sense of school connectedness, which is associated with academic success. Intentional Interviewing is a person-centered, evidence-based approach that can be used by school nurses in this important work.

Another tool-'applied behavior analysis' (Alberto and Troutman 1999) is a good example of a structured, process-oriented scheme of action in which practitioners identify a problem and through gradual providing of reinforcement help reduce e.g.…”

In a comparative study, 56 professionals who work in public organizations: schools, welfare and health agencies, were presented with three vignettes about conflicts with clients. They were then asked how they would respond to each case and which of their actions they would define as tools. It was found that nurses appear to hold the most mature practical and theoretical knowledge of tools; teachers present a rather practical stance, while social workers and school psychologists tend to rely on intuitive and ad hoc solutions. The discussion suggests how to educate professionals to use skills and tools more effectively in response to frequent chaotic situations.

Increase in counselling communication skills after basic and advanced microskills training

Abstract: The microcounseling method is very effective on the level of separate microskills. However, students perform better on the basic skills than on the advanced skills. More training seems to be needed in the latter to achieve the same level of mastery.
