Abstract

Background

The Consultation and Relational Empathy (CARE) measure is a patient-reported measure of physician empathy which is widely used internationally. The Japanese version of the CARE measure has very high internal reliability, suggesting that a shorter version may have adequate validity and reliability.

Objective

To investigate a valid shorter version of the Japanese CARE measure.

Methods

We conducted a pilot study using secondary analysis of previous data obtained from 9 general practitioners and 252 patients and used to develop the Japanese CARE measure. All 1,023 possible combinations of the Japanese CARE items (n = 1–10) were candidates for the short measure. The internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) and the correlations between candidate short questionnaires and the original questionnaire were calculated. After selecting the most valid short questionnaire, inter-rater reliability was determined using generalizability theory, and construct validity (Spearman’s rho) was determined using patient satisfaction.

Results

Two items were selected for a pilot shorter version: item 6 “Showing care and compassion” and item 9 “Helping you to take control.” These showed high internal consistency and correlations with the 10-item measure (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.920, correlation = 0.979). Forty-five questionnaires per doctor allowed us to reliably differentiate between practitioners. The construct validity for the pilot short measure was high (Spearman’s rho 0.706, P < 0.001).

Conclusion

We generated a pilot 2-item version of the Japanese CARE measure. This pilot 2-item version provides a basis for future validation studies of short CARE measures in other languages.

ABSTRACT: Although research in general medicine is diverse, it has not been compared with research in a different medical specialty. The study aim was to understand the characteristics of research produced at Japanese university departments of general medicine and published in English-language journals, via comparison with another academic specialty, cardiology.In this cross-sectional study, a nationwide survey of the official websites of 82 university-affiliated medical schools in Japan was conducted in April 2020 to identify the heads of general medicine departments. We then surveyed the research output of these individuals in terms of original article output and research field diversity for journals listed in the Web of Science Core Collection of journals from 2010 to 2019. A similar survey of cardiology department publications was also conducted to provide a reference for intergroup comparisons and analysis of covariance.The analysis included 128 researchers from 78 general medicine departments and 96 researchers from 81 cardiology departments. The dominant research field of general medicine was general and internal medicine; that of cardiology was cardiac/cardiovascular systems. Data stratification by research field showed that general medicine researchers published significantly more articles than researchers in cardiology, a field that contains relatively few researchers. Furthermore, a comparison of individual researchers with the same number of published articles showed that researchers in general medicine departments published across a significantly wider range of fields than those in cardiology.This is the first study to describe the research characteristics of general medicine university departments in Japan through comparison with research in a different academic specialty. General medicine researchers in Japan comprise a heterogeneous group that mainly publishes research on general and internal medicine. Some general medicine researchers take a multidisciplinary approach to research and publishing.

OBJECTIVES: To explore what the student participants learned and how they felt about the use of three educational settings, namely, face-to-face workshop setting, asynchronous and synchronous online learning environments and interactions with outpatients in a real-world clinical setting in a hybrid interprofessional education course. METHODS: This qualitative study used semi-structured in-depth interviews with healthcare undergraduate student participants in a course comprising workshops in three educational settings. A total of 15 healthcare undergraduate students, which included four medical, three pharmacy, five nursing and three nutrition students, completed this IPE course. All students agreed to participate in the study. We conducted four focus groups selected using convenient sampling. Focus group transcripts were analysed using the 'Steps for Coding and Theorization' qualitative data analysis method. We investigated the students' perception through the experience of three educational settings in the hybrid interprofessional education course. RESULTS: The students recognised that this course had three types of educational spaces, namely, real, semi-real and unreal. Then, the positive changes in the awareness of students are trained in recognition of the patient perspective, the recognition of the roles discharged by the other professions and the recognition of the functions of their own profession after experiencing the educational spaces designated for this course. CONCLUSIONS: The repeated experience of participants to real, semi-real and unreal educational spaces promoted changes over time in the students' awareness of interprofessional competencies with respect to patient-centred care and ameliorated their readiness to undertake interprofessional tasks.

<title>Abstract</title><sec>
<title>Background</title>
There is limited quantitative research on the effect of physician attire on patient–physician relationships. This study aimed to measure the influence of Japanese family physicians’ attire on the “human” aspects of medical care in terms of patient-perceived relational empathy.


</sec><sec>
<title>Methods</title>
This was a multicenter, prospective, controlled trial conducted in primary clinics in Japan. We explored the effects of family physician attire (white coat vs. casual attire) on patient-perceived empathy. Family physicians were allocated to alternate weeks of wearing a white coat or casual attire during consultations. Patients’ perceptions of physician empathy were evaluated using the self-rated Japanese Consultation and Relational Empathy (CARE) Measure. We used a linear mixed model to analyze the CARE Measure scores, adjusting for cluster effects of patients nested within doctor, age, and sex of patients, and doctors’ sex and years of clinical experience. We used the same method with Bonferroni adjustment to analyze patient sex differences in perceived empathy.


</sec><sec>
<title>Results</title>
A total of 632 patients of seven family physicians were allocated to white coat-wearing consultations (<italic>n</italic> = 328), and casual attire-wearing consultations (<italic>n</italic> = 304). There was no difference in CARE Measure scores between white coat and casual primary care consultations overall (<italic>p</italic> = 0.162). Subgroup analysis of patient sex showed that CARE Measure scores of male patients were significantly higher in the Casual group than in the White coat group (adjusted <italic>p</italic>-value = 0.044). There was no difference in female patient scores between White coat and Casual groups (adjusted <italic>p</italic>-value = 1.000).


</sec><sec>
<title>Conclusions</title>
This study demonstrated that physician attire (white coat or casual attire) in a primary care setting did not affect patient-perceived relational empathy overall. However, male patients of physicians wearing casual attire reported higher physician empathy. Although empathy cannot be reduced to simple variables such as attire, white coats may have a negative effect on patients, depending on the context. Family physicians should choose their attire carefully.

Many studies have examined the impression made on patients by physicians' attire. Regardless of practice location, many patients express most confidence in physicians who wear white coats. The number of physicians in Japan who choose not to wear white coats in practice has been increasing, particularly in primary care settings. However, very few studies have examined physician preference for attire. To clarify Japanese general practitioners' preference for attire by practice setting, we conducted a survey of physician preferences and reasons for attire selection. Subjects were 794 general practitioners certified by the Japan Primary Care Association and recruited from a mailing list. We conducted a web-based questionnaire survey. Physicians were asked to choose one of four different dress styles (semi-formal, white coat, scrubs, and casual) for different practice settings and state the reasons for selection. The response rate was 19.3% (n = 153; men 112). Most subjects chose white coats as usual attire for hospital practice (52%), mainly because of custom and professionalism. In contrast, most subjects chose non-white coats for clinics (59%) and home care (hospital-provided, 58%; clinic-provided, 71%). More subjects chose casual dress for clinic and home care practice, mainly to appear empathic. Most subjects chose white coats as the most appropriate hospital attire (54%), mainly because of patient perceptions of this attire being professional. Most subjects considered non-white coat attire more appropriate for clinic and home care practice. The findings indicate that general practitioners choose their clothes depending on practice location.

<p>An online interprofessional education (IPE) program was created in response to the coronavirus pandemic using Zoom, a cloud-based video conferencing service for educators and learners. To engage the students before the live web conference, they were provided materials about the IPE program and professional roles, scenarios of elderly patients with diabetes and dementia, and video lectures with fundamental information regarding dementia care for each profession. From May to September 2020, eight online IPE classes were conducted with students from mixed professional groups divided into two groups. Each group had one pharmacy student, three to four medical students, and three nursing students. In the first session of the program, students were given a clinical scenario focusing on an elderly patient with diabetes and dementia. Then, they discussed each profession’s roles and made care plans. Finally, they interviewed a standardized family member (SFM) and explained the care plans as a mixed professional team during the live web conference. In addition, the students were asked in a questionnaire following the online IPE program to describe what they learned regarding interprofessional collaboration. It revealed that it was useful in understanding the importance of team-based care and meeting the students’ learning objectives.</p>
