Abstract : This study explores medical students' attitudes toward communication skills and the factors influencing these attitudes. It aimed to assess how students perceive the importance of communication skills in their medical education and practice, identify socio-demographic and educational factors affecting their attitudes, and evaluate the impact of these attitudes on their communication training outcomes. Using a survey with 179 medical students, the research found a varied range of attitudes, from strong support for the relevance of communication skills to skepticism about their practical value. Key factors influencing attitudes included gender, native language, and educational level. The study revealed that while some students recognized the importance of communication skills for effective patient care and teamwork, others struggled with the perceived relevance and time commitment of training. The results highlight the need for curriculum adjustments to address these challenges, recommending enhanced integration of communication skills training and tailored educational strategies to improve student engagement and proficiency.
