Table 3 There is a strong statistically significant correlation between students who obtained a) “Q5. greater understanding of how expressing thoughts, expressions and feeling can help me”; b) “Q6. have greater understanding of how giving and receiving support is beneficial”; and c) “Q8. greater awareness of the importance of attentiveness to social and emotional aspects of patient care”, and their patient-centredness (Q2, Q4, Q9 and Q10). Correlation analyses are by Spearman’s rank correlation test with vales for rho (ρ) and statistical significance (P) shown
