Abstract
Introduction: Good communication between doctor and patient is one of the fundamental skills which can lead to getting adequate information from the patient, correct diagnosis, gaining patients’ trust, and at the end, proper care and treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate interns’ communication with patients from the observer and patient’s view. Methods: In this cross-sectional study performed in 2004, the communication skill of 72 interns of Kerman Medical University, during interview with patients was studied. The research tools included a checklist filled through direct observation and a questionnaire which was completed through interview with patient. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, Spearman and Kappa coefficients using SPSS software. Results: In total, the performance of interns in communicating with patient during history taking was at an intermediate level, from both the observer and patients’ views. Also, according to their views, the most areas of deficit were at the end, during conducting and beginning of the interview, respectively. In most parts, there was no agreement between observer’s and patient’s views. With increasing patients’ age, the scores given to interns’ communication skills increased significantly. Conclusion: There are some deficiencies in interns’ communication skills during history taking. Considering the importance of communication skills, teaching them in Clinical Skills Learning Center before confronting real patients is necessary. It is recommended to perform interventional studies in order to find proper content and teaching methods for the education of communication skills.

Abstract
Introduction: In 2007 and the years before, the Ministry of Health and Medical Education invited MS volunteers in different disciplines such as rehabilitation management and medical education for interview in addition to written exam. This study tried to determine the role of interview in students' admission in medical education and rehabilitation management during the years 2006 and 2007 and also the association between interview and written exam. Methods: In this study, the scores of interview, written exam, total exam, and written exam materials were extracted separately. Then, statistical parameters such as mean, standard deviation, and correlation between scores were calculated by MINITAB-15 software. It was tried to investigate the medical education and rehabilitation management examination results using correlation coefficient and frequency distribution. This study also investigated the association between interview and written exam and their role in students' admission. Results: The correlation coefficient between interview and written exam scores in medical education examinations was higher than the ones for rehabilitations management which demonstrates a closer linear correlation between interview score and written exam score in medical education examination. Correlation coefficient and frequency distribution in rehabilitation management examination, showed no logical relation-ship between interview and written exam scores. Conclusion: Considering non-equivalent changes appeared in medical education and rehabilitation manage-ment examinations, we can learn about lack of coordination in interviews of different groups. Therefore, it seems that it is better to change the interviews more toward structural, multi-aspect, and individual instead of accumulative and qualitative.

Abstract
Introduction: Motivational interview is a referential approach and guidance to enhance the internal motivation for change through discovery, identification, solving doubts, and bias. Cognitive regulation of academic excitement and conflict is related to motivation and is one of the problems of students with academic failure that can have negative and irreparable consequences for these students. This study endeavored to investigate the effectiveness of training of motivational interviewing training on cognitive-emotional ordering and academic engagement of students of Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental, pre-test, post-test and control group. The population was all students of Tehran University of Medical Sciences in the academic year of 2019. Using randomized sampling method, 30 students were selected and randomly assigned to experimental (15 subjects) and control (15 persons) groups. Then, cognitive-emotional ordering questionnaires and educational conflict were used as a pre-test for both groups. Motivational interview training was applied to the experimental group in 6 sessions. At the end of the course, both groups completed the above questionnaires as a post-test. Data were analyzed using covariance analysis.
Results: The descriptive findings of the mean (standard deviation) for the cognitive regulation variable in the pre-test stage of the experimental group were 51.23±5.72, in the post-test was 75.12±5.59 and for the academic engagement in the pretest stage of the experimental group was 75.33±5.89, and the posttest of the experimental group was 96. 46±5. 68 (P =0.002).
Conclusion: Regarding the effectiveness of motivational interview training, it is recommended to use the cognitive emotional order of students to improve their academic status.
