Comparing Medical Students’ Self-Rated Communication Skills with SPs’ Evaluation (n=43)
| Communication skill | Level | Medical students’ self-rating | SPs’ rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Empathic communication skill | |||
| Cognitive empathy | |||
| The highest | 0 (0) | 0 (0) | |
| High | 1 (2.3) | 1 (2.3) | |
| Medium | 18 (41.9) | 17 (39.5) | |
| Low | 24 (55.8) | 20 (46.5) | |
| The lowest | 0 (0) | 5 (11.6) | |
| Affective empathy | The highest | 0 (0) | 0 (0) |
| High | 3 (7.0) | 2 (4.7) | |
| Medium | 35 (81.4) | 13 (30.2) | |
| Low | 5 (11.6) | 16 (37.2) | |
| The lowest | 0 (0) | 12 (27.9) | |
| Interpersonal and communication skill | The highest | 0 (0) | 3 (7.0) |
| High | 26 (60.5) | 11 (25.6) | |
| Medium | 15 (34.9) | 12 (27.9) | |
| Low | 2 (4.7) | 11 (25.6) | |
| The lowest | 0 (0) | 6 (14.0) |
Values are presented as number (%).
SP: Standardized patient.

The Results of Lin’s Concordance of Medical Students’ Communication Skills (n=43)
| Medical students’ self-rating vs. SPs’ rating | rc | 95% CI | r | Cb |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Empathic communication skill | ||||
| Cognitive empathy | 0.060 | -0.180~0.294 | 0.076 | 0.794 |
| Affective empathy | 0.054 | -0.055~0.161 | 0.151 | 0.354 |
| Interpersonal and communication skill | 0.083 | -0.249~0.087 | 0.149 | 0.558 |
SP: Standardized patient, rc: Lin’s concordance correlation coefficient, CI: Confidence interval, r: Pearson’s correlation coefficient, Cb: The measure of accuracy.
