Increased appointment time allows general practitioners (GPs) to use more communication techniques. However, doctors who infrequently use certain techniques may not change their behavior even with more time.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Communication
  • General Practice Research

Background:

  • Effective communication is crucial in general practice.
  • Time constraints are often cited as a barrier to implementing communication techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how appointment duration affects general practitioners' (GPs) use of verbal interventions.
  • To understand the differential response of GPs to increased consultation time.

Main Methods:

  • Two experimental studies were conducted.
  • Patients received either shorter or longer appointments.
  • Doctors' use of various verbal interventions was systematically measured and analyzed.

Main Results:

  • All doctors increased their use of some interventions when more time was available.

  • The use of other interventions varied individually; frequent users increased their use, while infrequent users did not.
  • Facilitation techniques were used more by GPs when they had longer appointments.

    • Conclusions:

    • Extended consultation time is necessary but not sufficient to increase the use of less frequent communication techniques by GPs.
    • Individual differences in communication practices influence how doctors respond to increased time availability.
