Objective
The aim of this study is to develop gender criteria that can be included in communication skills assessment in medical education.Methods
A three-round Delphi study was conducted. The invited 59 participants were experts in the field of gender medicine education (n = 28) and doctor–patient communication (n = 31). Each Delphi round comprised a questionnaire, an analysis, and a feedback report. In the first round, gender experts explored gender themes in doctor–patient communication from which initial gender criteria were defined. The second and third rounds were used to validate the importance and feasibility of gender criteria. Consensus was defined as a 75% panel agreement and a mean of 4 or higher on a 5-point Likert scale.Results
Four gender criteria achieved consensus after the third round. The importance of including the gender criteria in communication skills assessment was rated consistently higher than its feasibility. Gender criteria relating to the patients’ perspective, to gathering information and to gender and power were considered the most important.Conclusion
Using a Delphi study, we have developed gender criteria for inclusion in communication skills assessment to promote good communication between doctors and patients.Practice implications
Gender influences medical communication. Incorporating gender in communication skills assessment may be useful to improve the teaching and learning of communication skills. 相似文献2.
Objective
Peer-assessment of communication skills may contribute to mastery of assessment criteria. When students develop the capacity to judge their peers’ performance, they might improve their capacity to examine their own clinical performance. In this study peer-assessment ratings are compared to teacher-assessment ratings. The aim of this paper is to explore the impact of personality and social reputation as source of bias in assessment of communication skills.Methods
Second year students were trained and assessed history taking communication skills. Peers rated the students’ personality and academic and social reputation.Results
Peer-assessment ratings were significantly correlated with teacher-ratings in a summative assessment of medical communication. Peers did not provide negative ratings on final scales but did provide negative ratings on subcategories. Peer- and teacher-assessments were both related to the students’ personality and academic reputation.Conclusion
Peer-assessment cannot replace teacher-assessment if the assessment should result in high-stake decisions about students. Our data do not confirm the hypothesis that peers are overly biased by personality and reputation characteristics in peer-assessment of performance.Practice implications
Early introduction of peer-assessment in medical education would facilitate early acceptance of this mode of evaluation and would promote early on the habit of critical evaluation of professional clinical performance and acceptance of being evaluated critically by peers. 相似文献3.
Objective
Doctor–patient communication has been well researched. Less is known about the educational background of communication skills training. Do we aim for optimal performance of skills, or rather attempt to help students become skilled communicators?Methods
An overview is given of the current view on optimal doctor–patient communication. Next we focus on recent literature on how people acquire skills. These two topics are integrated in the next chapter, in which we discuss the optimal training conditions.Results
A longitudinal training design has more lasting results than incidental training. Assessment must be in line with the intended learning outcomes. For transfer, doctor–patient communication must be addressed in all stages of health professions training.Conclusion
Elementary insights from medical education are far from realised in many medical schools. Doctor–patient communication would benefit strongly from more continuity in training and imbedding in the daily working contexts of doctors.Practice implications
When an educational continuum is realised and attention for doctor–patient communication is embedded in the working context of doctors in training the benefits will be strong. Training is only a part of the solution. In view of the current dissatisfaction with doctor–patient communication a change in attitude of course directors is strongly called for. 相似文献4.

Objective
To understand how recommendations for communication can be brought into alignment with clinical communication routines, we explored how doctors select communicative actions during consultations.Methods
We conducted stimulated recall interviews with 15 GPs (general practitioners), asking them to comment on recordings of two consultations. The data analysis was based on the principles of grounded theory.Results
A model describing how doctors select communicative actions during consultations was developed. This model illustrates how GPs constantly adapt their selection of communicative actions to their evaluation of the situation. These evaluations culminate in the selection of situation-specific goals. These multiple and often dynamic goals require constant revision and adaptation of communication strategies, leading to constant readjustments of the selection of communicative actions. When selecting consultation goals GPs weigh patients’ needs and preferences as well as the medical situation and its consequences.Conclusions
GPs’ selection of communicative actions during consultations is situational and goal driven.Practice implications
To help doctors develop communicative competence tailored to the specific situation of each consultation, holistic communication training courses, which pay attention to the selection of consultation goals and matching communication strategies besides training specific communication skills, seem preferable to current generic communication skills training. 相似文献5.

Objective
Systematic review of evidence about the impact of gender dyads on clinician–patient communication.Methods
Search of Medline, CINAHL and PsychINFO (1960–2007) and the British Library of grey literature, and hand searching of Patient Education and Counselling and Social Science and Medicine (2005–2007), returning 648 articles. Ten studies met all inclusion criteria.Results
Gender dyads influenced the patient agendas elicited, talk content, communication style, non-verbal communication, the exhibition of power, and consultation length. Consultation length was studied and affected by gender dyads more frequently than any other phenomenon. Distinctive differences between the dyads were identified, largely as expected, but with some surprises. For example, female/female dyads were the most patient-centred, and had longer consultations containing the most talk. However they also contained the most bio-medical talk.Conclusion
The evidence base is small, and a more rigorous approach to reporting quality indicators is needed. However, observed dyad differences may provide different opportunities for effective communication and clinical outcomes for patients. Further research with a primary focus on gender dyad effects is needed to test this.Practice implications
Findings have implications for policy, healthcare organisations, and individual doctors alike, raising awareness about workforce issues and communication skills training needs in particular. 相似文献6.
Objective
The purpose of this study was to identify and describe the delivery styles doctors typically use when breaking bad news (BBN).Methods
Thirty one doctors were recruited to participate in two standardised BBN consultations involving a sudden death. Delivery styles were determined using time to deliver the bad news as a standardised differentiation as well as qualitative analysis of interaction content and language style. Communication performance was also assessed.Results
Analysis of BBN interactions revealed three typical delivery styles. A blunt style characterised by doctors delivering news within the first 30 s of the interaction; Forecasting, a staged delivery of the news within the first 2 min and a stalling approach, delaying news delivery for more than 2 min. This latter avoidant style relies on the news recipient reaching a conclusion about event outcome without the doctor explicitly conveying the news.Conclusion
Three typical bad news delivery styles used by doctors when BBN were confirmed both semantically and operationally in the study. The relationship between delivery style and the overall quality of BBN interactions was also investigated.Practice implications
This research provides a new template for approaching BBN training and provides evidence for a need for greater flexibility when communicating bad news. 相似文献7.

Objective
To examine to what extent general practitioners in consultations after a geriatric assessment set shared health priorities with older patients experiencing multimorbidity and to what extent this was facilitated through patient-centered behavior.Methods
Observation of consultations embedded in a cluster randomized controlled trial,1 in which 317 patients from 41 general practices received the STEP assessment followed by a care planning consultation with their GPs. GPs in the intervention group used a structured procedure for setting health (care) priorities in contrast to control GPs. A sample of 43 consultations (24 intervention; 19 control) were recorded, transcribed and analyzed with regard to priority setting and patient-centeredness.Results
Patient-centeredness was only moderately apparent in consultations dealing with complex care plans for older patients with multimorbidity. The shared determination of health priorities seemed unusual for both doctors and patients and was rarely practiced, albeit more frequently in intervention consultations.Conclusion
Setting health care priorities with patients experiencing multimorbidity is ethically desirable and medically appropriate. Yet a short structured guide for doctors cannot easily achieve this.Practice implications
More research is needed in regard to handling complex health needs of older patients. It requires a professional approach and training in patient-centered holistic care planning. 相似文献8.

Objective
To describe the process for developing interrater reliability (IRR) for the Four Habits Coding Scheme (4HCS) for a heterogeneous material as part of a randomized controlled trial.Methods
Videotapes from 497 hospital encounters involving 71 doctors from most clinical specialties were collected. Four experienced psychology students were trained as raters. We calculated Pearson's r and the intraclass correlation (ICC) on the total score across consecutive samples of twenty videos, and Pearson's r on single videos across items in the initial coding phase.Results
After 18 h of training and one rating session, the total score Pearson's r and ICC exceeded .70 for all pairs of raters. Across items within single videos, the Pearson's r was never below 0.60 after the first 50 videos. At item and habit level Pearson's r remained unsatisfactory for some rater pairs mostly due to low variance on some items.Conclusion
Based on the evaluation of the effect of communication skills training via a total score, IRR was satisfactory for the 4HCS as applied to heterogeneous material. However, good reliability at item level was difficult to achieve.Practice implications
4HCS may be used as an outcome measure for clinical communication skills in randomized controlled trials. 相似文献9.
Objective
To deepen the knowledge of frail elderly patients’ preferences for participation in medical decision making during hospitalization.Methods
Qualitative study using content analysis of semi-structured interviews.Results
Patient participation to frail elderly means information, not the wish to take part in decisions about their medical treatments. They view the hospital care system as an institution of power with which they cannot argue. Participation is complicated by barriers such as the numerous persons involved in their care who do not know them and their preferences, differing treatment strategies among doctors, fast patient turnover in hospitals, stressed personnel and linguistic problems due to doctors not always speaking the patient's own language.Conclusion
The results of the study show that, to frail elderly patients, participation in medical decision making is primarily a question of good communication and information, not participation in decisions about medical treatments.Practice implications
More time should be given to thorough information and as few people as possible should be involved in the care of frail elderly. Linguistic problems should be identified to make it possible to take the necessary precautions to prevent negative impact on patient participation. 相似文献10.
Objective
To assess physician needs for patient-centered communication training for medical consultations and to develop an updated patient training curriculum.Methods
An online needs assessment was distributed through physician email listserves at the University of Florida College of Medicine. Frequency tabulation and content analyses were conducted to assess patient communication themes.Results
Responses were received from 336 physicians. Physicians reported that patients are reluctant to ask questions when they do not understand information related to their medical condition, treatment plan, or medical advice. Furthermore, physicians reported that a lack of patient negotiation inhibits patient-centered communication and may negatively influence patient adherence and compliance. Based on these results the AGENDA model was created for patient training and consists of (1) agenda setting; (2) goals for health; (3) expressing concerns, questions, and negotiations; (4) navigating health literacy issues; (5) disclosing detailed information; and (6) active types of listening.Conclusion
This study supports revisiting patient communication training and tailoring future training interventions to specific communities.Practice implications
The AGENDA model can be used to train patients to enhance patient-centered communication with physicians. Additionally, patient communication training could help to address the barriers to care identified by the physicians in our study. 相似文献11.

Objective
To examine whether the effect of health literacy (HL) on patient–physician communication varies with patient–physician language concordance and communication type.Methods
771 outpatients rated three types of patient–physician communication: receptive communication (physician to patient); proactive communication (patient to physician); and interactive, bidirectional communication. We assessed HL and language categories including: English-speakers, Spanish-speakers with Spanish-speaking physicians (Spanish-concordant), and Spanish-speakers without Spanish-speaking physicians (Spanish-discordant).Results
Overall, the mean age of participants was 56 years, 58% were women, 53% were English-speakers, 23% Spanish-concordant, 24% Spanish-discordant, and 51% had limited HL. Thirty percent reported poor receptive, 28% poor proactive, and 56% poor interactive communication. In multivariable analyses, limited HL was associated with poor receptive and proactive communication. Spanish-concordance and discordance was associated with poor interactive communication. In stratified analyses, among English-speakers, limited HL was associated with poor receptive and proactive, but not interactive communication. Among Spanish-concordant participants, limited HL was associated with poor proactive and interactive, but not receptive communication. Spanish-discordant participants reported the worst communication for all types, independent of HL.Conclusion
Limited health literacy impedes patient–physician communication, but its effects vary with language concordance and communication type. For language discordant dyads, language barriers may supersede limited HL in impeding interactive communication.Practice implications
Patient–physician communication interventions for diverse populations need to consider HL, language concordance, and communication type. 相似文献12.

Objective
We implemented and monitored a clinical service, Consultation Planning, Recording and Summarizing (CPRS), in which trained facilitators elicit patient questions for doctors, and then audio-record, and summarize the doctor–patient consultations.Methods
We trained 8 schedulers to offer CPRS to breast cancer patients making treatment decisions, and trained 14 premedical interns to provide the service. We surveyed a convenience sample of patients regarding their self-efficacy and decisional conflict. We solicited feedback from physicians, schedulers, and CPRS staff on our implementation of CPRS.Results
278 patients used CPRS over the 22-month study period, an exploitation rate of 32% compared to our capacity. 37 patients responded to surveys, providing pilot data showing improvements in self-efficacy and decisional conflict. Physicians, schedulers, and premedical interns recommended changes in the program's locations; delivery; products; and screening, recruitment and scheduling processes.Conclusion
Our monitoring of this implementation found elements of success while surfacing recommendations for improvement.Practice implications
We made changes based on study findings. We moved Consultation Planning to conference rooms or telephone sessions; shortened the documents produced by CPRS staff; diverted slack resources to increase recruitment efforts; and obtained a waiver of consent in order to streamline and improve ongoing evaluation. 相似文献13.
Objective
To explore the potential agreement between two different methods to investigate emotional communication of native and non-native patients in medical consultations.Methods
The data consisted of 12 videotaped hospital consultations with six native and six non-native patients. The consultations were coded according to coding rules of the Verona Coding definitions of Emotional Sequences (VR-CoDES) and afterwards analyzed by discourse analysis (DA) by two co-workers who were blind to the results from VR-CoDES.Results
The agreement between VR-CoDES and DA was high in consultations with many cues and concerns, both with native and non-native patients. In consultations with no (or one cue) according to VR-CoDES criteria the DA still indicated the presence of emotionally salient expressions and themes.Conclusion
In some consultations cues to underlying emotions are communicated so vaguely or veiled by language barriers that standard VR-CoDES coding may miss subtle cues. Many of these sub-threshold cues could potentially be coded as cues according to VR-CoDES main coding categories, if criteria for coding vague or ambiguous cues had been better specified.Practice implications
Combining different analytical frameworks on the same dataset provide us new insights on emotional communication. 相似文献14.
Objective
To explore transsexual patients’ perceptions of communication with psychiatrists in a Gender Identity Clinic and advance understanding of patient centered communication (PCC) in psychiatric, ‘gatekeeping’ settings.Methods
21 qualitative interviews with a convenience sample of clinic patients. Interviews were coded at a semantic level and subject to an inductive thematic analysis.Results
Patients’ perceptions clustered into three themes: (1) aspects of communication that patients described liking; (2) aspects of communication that patients described disliking; and (3) aspects of communication that patients deemed challenging but necessary or useful.Conclusion
Patients described liking or disliking aspects of communication that reflect existing understandings of PCC. However, a striking feature of their accounts was how they were able to rationalize and reflect pragmatically on their negative communication experiences, welcoming doctors’ challenges as an opportunity to consider their life-changing decision to transition from their natal gender.Practice implications
In certain clinical settings, current operationalizations of PCC may not apply. Patients’ perceptions of communication may be enhanced if an analysis of their experiences formed part of the professional training of doctors, who could be invited to consider the functional specificity of communication across settings and the consequences (both immediate and post hoc) of their communication practices. 相似文献15.

Objective
This study aims to examine the meaning and practical implications of integration of a complementary medicine-based surgery service in a hospital setting (CISS – Complementary/Integrative Surgery Service) through analysis of consultation reports associated with this service.Methods
Thematic analysis was used to evaluate CISS consultation reports in a hospital electronic consultant charting system during the first half year of the service's activity.Results
304 consultation reports were analyzed. Nurses initiated significantly more consultations than physicians (55% vs 7%). Consultation requests were gradually more focused on specific symptoms, possibly manifesting a better understanding of the scope of complementary medicine in the surgery setting. CISS practitioners responded in more biomedical language over time, albeit offering a more holistic perspective regarding patients’ needs as well as clarifications regarding the nature of the treatment they provided.Conclusions
Diverse communication patterns in consultations evolved over time representing dynamics in multiple levels of integration of the CISS.Practice implications
Documented communication through consultations can provide a window to the process of integration of complementary medicine-based services in health systems. 相似文献16.
Objective
To ascertain the attitudes of Nepalese medical students and doctors regarding aspects of doctor–patient communication.Method
A cross-sectional survey, using the Patient–Practitioner Orientation Scale (PPOS), was undertaken with students and doctors in a teaching hospital in rural Nepal. Qualitative research was also done, using semi-structured interviews and focus groups, with a sample from the same population. The author's participant observations provided a third data source.Results
Participants generally expressed ‘patient-centred’ attitudes, particularly in the following areas: power-sharing; the importance of social context; friendliness; providing adequate time and explanations. They thought that the hierarchical nature of society carried over into medical practice, particularly noting the exalted position of doctors and the importance of social and financial issues in patient outcomes. The participants thought that Nepalese doctors currently practice in a ‘doctor-centred’ manner but thought that this should change.Conclusion
There was a marked contrast between the attitudes expressed by participants and the way that they see medicine is currently practiced. The results also showed an under-appreciation of Nepalese patients’ universal desire for being given good information.Practice implications
This study underlines the need for an increased understanding of local preferences regarding medical communication styles. Methods of providing information to patients need to be strengthened in clinical practice. 相似文献17.

Objective
To explore whether there are other factors besides communication difficulties that hamper access to health care services for deaf patients.Methods
Qualitative methodology using semi-structured interviews with 16 deaf participants from the National Institute for the Deaf in Worcester and 3 Key informants from the Worcester area, South Africa.Results
Communication difficulties were found to be a prominent barrier in accessing health care services. In addition to this interpersonal factors including lack of independent thought, overprotectedness, non-questioning attitude, and lack of familial communication interact with communication difficulties in a way that further hampers access to health care services.Conclusion
These interpersonal factors play a unique role in how open and accepting health services feel to deaf patients.Practice implications
Health care services need to take cognizance of the fact that providing sign language interpreters in the health care setting will not necessarily make access more equitable for deaf patients, as they have additional barriers besides communication to overcome before successfully accessing health care services. 相似文献18.

Objective
This study asked: (1) What do rural women with breast cancer need to make the most out of their major medical appointments? and (2) What can the community resource centers do to best support those needs?Methods
We interviewed 12 doctors, 12 breast cancer survivors and 10 community agency staff, including those who provide services to Latinos and Native Americans. Interviews generated success factors and barriers related to meeting patient information needs. Examples were categorized into themes.Results
Success factors included making sure patients review high quality educational materials before the visit; and that someone is available to take notes. Doctors felt that a patient list of questions was productive, but some survivors felt doctors did not always respond productively to the list. Respondents did not mention audiorecording unless prompted. Most then endorsed it.Conclusion
Educational materials, question lists, and note-takers can help rural women with breast cancer and their doctors achieve their goals during treatment discussions. Audiorecording may be an implicit but not explicit need.Practice implications
Other cancer resource centers and support agencies should consider offering information, question-listing, and note-taking services. They should assess whether audiorecording is an implicit need in their settings. 相似文献19.
