Abstract

Background & objectives: Communication skills are one of the most important characteristics of medical science students, as it directly influences patient care, professional relationships, and overall healthcare efficiency. In recognition of this importance, this study aims to evaluate the verbal communication skills of students at Ardabil University of Medical Sciences, examining the impact of various demographic factors on these skills. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study included a sample of 282 students from diverse disciplines within the university. Data were collected using the standard Pierre Desrosiers communication skills questionnaire, which provides a reliable metric for assessing verbal communication proficiency. Following data collection, results were analyzed using SPSS20 software, allowing for comprehensive descriptive and analytical statistical evaluations. Results: The findings revealed that the average communication skills score among students was 105. 18±11. 05, categorizing their abilities as medium to high. Notably, the study identified significant demographic influences on communication skills, with female students, non-native students, those in advanced academic years, and students with higher grade point averages exhibiting superior verbal communication abilities. Conclusion: In conclusion, in summary, while medical students at Ardabil University display commendable verbal communication skills, a structured intervention focusing on the enhancement of these abilities is vital. Implementing comprehensive communication training can bridge the gap between current performance levels and the standards necessary for successful medical practice.
