Abstract: This study examined the effectiveness of faculty-supervised and self-instructional listening microskills training in increasing the responsiveness of medical students to the psychosocial needs of cancer patients and their families during medical student-patient-family member interviews. Two multiple baseline across subjects designs of four baselines each were used for the study. Eight third-year medical students from clinical oncology were randomly assigned to conditions for training and to baselines within each condition. Training conditions were identical in informational content and time requirements. Self-instructional training incorporated two videotapes developed for the study. Through the use of graphs, Rn analyses, and t tests, data from the training conditions were analyzed separately, comparatively, and on the basis of overall training effectiveness across all eight subjects. Standard for significance was .05.
