Purpose: The study attempted to examine communication-related educational needs by identifying the importance of communication and communication skills among ophthalmic optics students.
Methods: The study analyzed data from 169 optometry students who responded to an online survey during a two-month period starting from April 2021. The survey consisted of 49 questions regarding interpretation skills, role performance, self-presentation skills, goal-setting skills, and message competence, including the sub-competencies of communication importance and communication skills. Priorities for communication-related educational needs were identified via the IPA matrix and Borich analysis.
Results: Regarding communication importance and communication skills, role performance and message competence, were the highest at 3.96 and 3.89, respectively. The communication importance and communication skills of students who perceived their communication skills to be excellent were high. The results of the IPX matrix found that communication-related educational needs were the greatest for role performance and message competence. The Borich needs assessment ranked role performance as number 1, with a score of 3.58.
Conclusions: The communication education most necessary to optometry students was role performance. Results from this study may be used to inform communication education, to optimize the communication skills and educational needs of optometry students.
