| Annotation | In 2003, the University of South Carolina Medical School of Medicine introduced a seminar to teach communication and listening skills to third year medical students. The students learned a structured communication format called "L-I-S-T-E-N", which they used to conduct a life review with a person aged 65+. The faculty evaluated the educational experience using transcribed audiotapes of the life reviews, reflection papers written by the students, and interviews with students and memoirs about the life review session. The life review experience increased students' understanding of how psychosocial, cultural, spiritual and life-changing events affect health and health behaviours. (RH). |
