Hi everyone,
I'm looking for (validated) tools or questionnaires to assess patients' preference for communication or interaction style in patient-provider communication. So far I've found papers on the patient-provider communication from a provider's point of view (e.g. Bertakis et al's 1991 work, Roter and Hall's papers). In these papers physicians' communication styles are assessed and categorized and an underlying assumption is that all patients would want the same interaction with their physician in order to be satisfied with care (for example, more talk about psychosocial issues).
However, in my recent observations I noted that patients seem to have different preferences for communication (which makes sense if you think about communication preferences from a broader perspective). Now I was hoping to formally test these differences between patients in interaction style/communication preferences but I can't seem to questionnaires to do so. I'm not looking for indirect measures inferred from demographics.
If you know any good papers/questionnaires, please let me know!
