Area of Science:

  • Primary Care Medicine
  • Health Psychology
  • Medical Sociology

Context:

  • Patient expectations significantly influence healthcare experiences.
  • Understanding physician-patient communication is crucial for effective general practitioner (GP) consultations.
  • Discrepancies in perceived priorities can impact clinical outcomes.

Purpose:

  • To compare patient expectations with general practitioners' (GPs) perceptions of those expectations during consultations.
  • To identify areas of agreement and disagreement in prioritizing patient needs.
  • To inform strategies for improving physician-patient communication.

Summary:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 805 patients and 140 GPs in Andalusia assessed patient expectations.
  • Patients prioritized communication aspects (listening, explaining) over specific interventions.
  • GPs correctly identified listening and explaining as key but overestimated patient desire for prescriptions, referrals, and tests.

Impact:

  • Highlights the importance of physician-patient communication as a core patient expectation.
  • Reveals a tendency for GPs to overestimate specific procedural demands over communication quality.
  • Suggests a need for enhanced GP training on accurately assessing and meeting patient expectations to improve care quality.
