This study developed the Patient-Centred Behaviour Coding Instrument (PBCI) to measure physicians' communication skills in patient-centred care. The PBCI effectively distinguishes between facilitating and inhibiting behaviours, aiding in evaluating physician-patient interactions.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Communication Skills
  • Patient-Centred Care

Background:

  • Patient-centred approaches are vital in medical education but challenging to measure.
  • Evaluating patient-centredness requires instruments assessing physician communication behaviors.
  • Physicians' explorative communication skills are key to encouraging patient perspectives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an instrument measuring patient-centredness via physicians' communication.
  • To assess the reliability and validity of the Patient-Centred Behaviour Coding Instrument (PBCI).
  • To analyze physicians' facilitating and inhibiting communication behaviors during patient encounters.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the Patient-Centred Behaviour Coding Instrument (PBCI).

  • Videotaping and coding of 323 patient-physician follow-up encounters in a Dutch academic hospital.
  • Statistical analysis to determine the instrument's dimensions, validity, and reliability.

    • Main Results:

    • The PBCI identified two dimensions: facilitating and inhibiting physician behaviors.
    • Psycho-social open/closed questions were strong indicators of facilitating behaviors.
    • High reliability for facilitating behaviors; moderate reliability for inhibiting behaviors, influenced by inter-rater variability.

    Conclusions:

    • The PBCI is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring physicians' patient-centred communication skills.
    • The instrument differentiates between behaviors that encourage or discourage patient expression.
    • Findings support the PBCI's utility in assessing and improving patient-centred care in medical education.
