ObjectiveTo explore the applicability, need for modifications and reliability of the VR-CoDES in a veterinary setting while also gaining a deeper understanding of clients’ expressions of negative emotion and how they are addressed by veterinarians.MethodsThe Verona Coding Definitions of Emotional Sequences for client cues and concerns (VR-CoDES-CC) and health provider responses (VR-CoDES-P) were used to analyse 20 audiotaped veterinary consultations. Inter-rater reliability was established. The applicability of definitions of the VR-CoDES was identified, together with the need for specific modifications to suit veterinary consultations.ResultsThe VR-CoDES-CC and VR-CoDES-P generally applied to veterinary consultations. Cue and concern reliability was found satisfactory for most types of cues, but not for concerns. Response reliability was satisfactory for explicitness, and for providing and reducing space for further disclosure. Modifications to the original coding system were necessary to accurately reflect the veterinary context and included minor additions to the VR-CoDES-CC.ConclusionUsing minor additions to the VR-CoDES including guilt, reassurance and cost discussions it can be reliably adopted to assess clients’ implicit expressions of negative emotion and veterinarians’ responses.Practice implicationsThe modified VR-CoDES could be of great value when combined with existing frameworks used for teaching and researching veterinary communication. |
