The present study was designed to examine the effect of microcounseling (MC) training for 16 obstetrical nurse students. One group pretest-posttest design was used. The skills of probe and reflection of feeling were taught 2 hours, respectively, by the MC paradigm. The pretest and posttest interviews, in which each pair of subjects exchanged the listener and speaker roles, were recorded for 3 minutes by the audio-taperecorder. Results indicated that open questions were used significantly more often after the training, while the reflection of feeling did not change by the training. These results were discussed in terms of previous researches.
