Abstract:
We investigated general practitioners' (GPs') responses to patients' concerns in chronic care consultations. Video recordings of 14 consultations were analyzed with conversation analysis. We found two categories of responses: exiting and exploring the patient's concerns. Most GPs exited the concern by interrupting the patient, acknowledging the concern but then referring back to the progression of the consultation, or affiliating with the concern without exploring it. Only a few raised concerns were explored, and then most often the somatic rather than the emotional aspects of them. The findings point to the risk of missing patients' voiced concerns in consultations with a fixed agenda.
