Abstract:

Doctor attributes contribute significantly to the quality of the doctor–patient relationship, consultation, patient satisfaction, and treatment outcomes. However, there is a paucity of research on this topic in many settings in developing countries, including Botswana, where accessibility and availability of care itself are a challenge. The study examined doctor attributes that patients in Botswana desire from the perspectives of doctors and patients in selected public clinics located in four health districts of Botswana. We used a qualitative design and conducted face-to-face interviews with 32 adult patients and 17 doctors selected through the purposive sampling technique. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. Data analysis followed the six steps of qualitative thematic data analysis. We found both discordance and congruence between the doctors and patients on key attributes that patients desire in a doctor during consultation. Both agreed that effective communication and listening skills were key desirable doctor attributes that improve the doctor–patient relationship. Conducting the consultation in the language of the patients enhances effective communication. Doctors cited clinical expertise and competence as key desirable doctor attributes, whereas patients cited interpersonal and social attributes including kindness, empathy, and respect as key doctor attributes that increase trust in the doctor. However, patients expected the doctor to have clinical knowledge, which they perceived as essential to improve doctor–patient interaction and health outcomes. The findings highlight a need to enhance the interpersonal and communication skills of doctors to improve the quality of doctor–patient interactions. To optimise and enhance the consultation, continuing professional development should be adopted as a strategy to improve the communication and interpersonal skills of doctors.

Abstract:

Online rating of patient satisfaction of their doctor is increasingly common worldwide. This study of 4157 ratings of Australian doctors found patients were extremely satisfied with their doctor. However, this result was limited by a low prevalence of rated doctors and low numbers of ratings per doctor. Further studies are needed to determine how online rating will affect future practice for all doctors.

Abstract:

Purpose. By comparing the performance of different models between artificial intelligence (AI) and doctors, we aim to evaluate and identify the optimal model for future usage of AI. Methods. A total of 500 fundus images of glaucoma and 500 fundus images of normal eyes were collected and randomly divided into five groups, with each group corresponding to one round. The AI system provided diagnostic suggestions for each image. Four doctors provided diagnoses without the assistance of the AI in the first round and with the assistance of the AI in the second and third rounds. In the fourth round, doctor B and doctor D made diagnoses with the help of the AI and the other two doctors without the help of the AI. In the last round, doctor A and doctor B made diagnoses with the help of AI and the other two doctors without the help of the AI. Results. Doctor A, doctor B, and doctor D had a higher accuracy in the diagnosis of glaucoma with the assistance of AI in the second ( p = 0.036 , p = 0.003 , and p ≤ 0.000 ) and the third round ( p = 0.021 , p ≤ 0.000 , and p ≤ 0.000 ) than in the first round. The accuracy of at least one doctor was higher than that of AI in the second and third rounds, in spite of no detectable significance ( p = 0.283 , p = 0.727 , p = 0.344 , and p = 0.508 ). The four doctors’ overall accuracy ( p = 0.004 and p ≤ 0.000 ) and sensitivity ( p = 0.006 and p ≤ 0.000 ) as a whole were significantly improved in the second and third rounds. Conclusions. This “Doctor + AI” model can clarify the role of doctors and AI in medical responsibility and ensure the safety of patients, and importantly, this model shows great potential and application prospects.

Abstract:

As doctor–patient interactive platforms, online health communities (OHCs) offer patients massive information including doctor basic information and online patient reviews. However, how to develop a systematic framework for doctor selection in OHCs according to doctor basic information and online patient reviews is a challenged issue, which will be explored in this study. For doctor basic information, we define the quantification method and aggregate them to characterize relative influence of doctors. For online patient reviews, data analysis techniques (i.e., topics extraction and sentiment analysis) are used to mine the core attributes and evaluations. Subsequently, frequency weights and position weights are respectively determined by a frequency-oriented formula and a position score-based formula, which are integrated to obtain the final importance of attributes. Probabilistic linguistic-prospect theory-multiplicative multiobjective optimization by ratio analysis (PL-PT-MULTIMOORA) is proposed to analyze patient satisfactions on doctors. Finally, selection rules are made according to doctor influence and patient satisfactions so as to choose optimal and suboptimal doctors for rational or emotional patients. The designed textual data-driven method is successfully applied to analyze doctors from Haodf.com and some suggestions are given to help patients pick out optimal and suboptimal doctors.

Abstract:

The establishment of health care big data has brought great convenience to population health and medical research, but at the same time a series of privacy protection issues must be considered as a result. In this paper, we propose a graphical convolutional neural network to detect the access behavior of doctors in medical big data. In this paper, we propose a graphical convolutional neural network to model the access behavior of doctors in medical big data and perform trust evaluation, so as restrict such doctors or behaviors. In this paper, by taking the doctor behavior features and the doctor-doctor relationship network as input, the GCN network is used to supervise the learning of the department to which the doctor belongs, and the last layer is used as the characterization learning result. Finally, the similarity between doctor and department is used as the doctor behavior trust evaluation index. The experimental results show that the proposed model in this paper can well identify doctors' behaviors with malicious intent and assign a low trust value, laying the foundation for further research.

Abstract:

Background. While carrying out its duties, doctors certainly cannot be separated from the act of communicating with patients. Doctor-patient communication is defined as ongoing communication between doctors, as a medic, with the patient as the treated person. This communication skills are important and therefore must be mastered by doctors. But before that, doctors must have adequate knowledge of how to communicate properly and effectively with patients. Lack of this communication skill will be a serious problem so it should not be ignored. Objective. To determine the doctors level of knowledge about doctor-patient communication. Methods. This study was conducted in descriptive with cross sectional approach. The data were collected by distributing the questionnaire of 15 questions to 71 doctors who were still actively teaching at Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara. The collected data then analyzed using SPSS computer program. Results. The results showed that most of the doctor that work on Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara, 83.1% of the samples were in good category of knowledge, 14.1% of the samples were in sufficient category of knowledge, the rest 2.8% of the samples were in low category of knowledge. Conclusion. Majority of the doctor have a good level of knowledge about doctor-patient communication. Keyword: Communication, Doctor-Patient, Knowledge, Skills

Abstract:

A survey of 3,355 Hong Kong adolescent students showed that the prevalence of TCM clinic consultation in a three-month period was 8.6%. Among students who sought doctor consultation in a three-month period, 17.8% consulted a TCM doctor. Students who sought doctor consultation for fall-related injuries were more likely to have consulted TCM doctors only, while those for skin disease were more likely to have consulted both TCM and western doctors. Perceived cost, efficacy, trust of western doctors and socioeconomic factors were not associated with choice of doctor type.Our findings are different from those on Hong Kong adults' use of health care services as reported in other studies.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The doctor patient relationship is of primary importance in the overall health care delivery model. It is a unique relationship which depends on trust and confidence between the parties for the provision of care. Establishing a doctor/patient relationship may take place formally in the office setting or informally, such as by giving verbal advice in a social setting. Doctors enter into a doctor-patient relationship with a commitment to provide their patients with quality service. Patients are entitled to be treated with respect and without discrimination during all stages of the doctor patient relationship, even if the relationship faces termination. However, when circumstances affect the doctors ability to achieve this, the doctors may decide to end the doctors patient relationship.

Abstract:

There appears to be dissatisfaction by patients in Ghana with the way their doctors communicate with them. The perception is that doctors fail to respect their autonomy by failing to adequately inform them of their health condition and also fail to involve themin their health care decisions. Patients want doctors to use their medical training to promote a partnership in the doctor-patient relationship where the doctor uses his or her superior knowledge and skill in medicine to acknowledge, encourage and support the patient’s right to self-determination in his or her health care. If doctors did that, patients will be more satisfied, the doctor-patient relationship will be enriched, trust between the doctor and his patient will be enhanced and patient care will also be enhanced. Although there may be difficulties for doctors to adopt this approach, those difficulties are not insurmountable.

Abstract:

Technology improvements and globalization invokes peopleâ€™s realization about their rights as patients in a hospital.Â They begin to demand getting those rights and when unsatisfied,Â Â they may sue their doctors and the hospital. These litigation cases will, in the end, increase doctorâ€™s and hospitalâ€™s risks. Increased risk means increased cost. It is mentioned in the forty sixth clause of the Hospital Law (Undang-Undang Nomor 44 Tahun 2009 tentang Rumah Sakit) that the hospital bears the responsibility of the mistakes done by itâ€™s health workers. This clause seems unfair in taking the side of erroneous health workers, including doctors, and may result in the decrease of doctorâ€™s feeling of responsibility in their patients. Being a corporation, a hospital can not being punished and so the responsibility falls on itâ€™s owner and management. This can be seen as a violation of the human rights law against the hospital owner and management. The yudicial implications of a doctorâ€™s mistakes in the process of taking care of their patients must be seen from the ethical and the law aspect. Seen from the ethical aspect, a doctor has to fulfill many requirements as a doctor. Seen from the law aspect, a doctorâ€™s mistakes has to fulfill the criminal law, the civil law, and the administrative law. Doctor-patient relationships are usually inspanningsverbintenis (expedient relationship). In order to be able to sue their doctor, a patient has to provide provable evidence about the presence of mistakes or negligences made by the doctor, not just the absence of cure. Doctor-patient-hospital relationship is a tripartit relationship based on agreements between the three parties. Each party is entitled to his rights and obligations. A harmonious relationship and good communication between hospital, doctor and patient plays an important role in the prevention of medical litigations againts doctors and hospitals. Practicing dokctors have to realize that they better apply good responsibility by obeying the rules stated in the professional ethics and the law, always strive to increase their service, and master the art of good communication. Hospitals need to apply optimal service as required by the law by applying programs such hospital accreditation and patient safety programs. Medical committee need to be empowered to carry out isâ€™s tasks, especially in credentialing, recredentialing, medical audit, and enforcing medical professional discipline and good clinical governance.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Current research on the doctor-patient relationship primarily focuses on the responsibilities of doctors, with relatively less emphasis on examining the contributions patients can make. As a result, there is an urgent demand for exploring innovative approaches that highlight the active role patients play in cultivating a robust doctor-patient relationship. The purpose of this study was to devise an intervention strategy centered around patients to enhance the doctor-patient relationship. Comics were developed to depict shared narratives encompassing challenging daily life experiences between doctors and ordinary individuals. The study aimed to assess the efficacy of this approach in cultivating positive attitudes toward doctors. Method A 3-group design trial was conducted in Shanghai, China. A total of 152 participants were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: the parallel presenting group (n = 51), where narratives about a doctor and an ordinary employee were presented side by side in comics; the single presenting group (n = 50), where only narratives about a doctor were presented; and the control group (n = 51). The outcomes assessed in this study encompassed changes in identification with the doctor portrayed in the comics, perceived intimacy between doctors and patients in reality, and appraisal of the doctor in a prepared doctor-patient interaction situation. Results The parallel presenting group exhibited significantly larger increases in identification with the doctor portrayed in the comics, perceived intimacy between doctors and patients in reality, and appraisal of the doctor in a prepared doctor-patient interaction scenario compared to the single presenting group. The observed enhancements in the appraisal of the doctor in a prepared doctor-patient interaction scenario can be attributed to the changes in identification with the doctor portrayed in the comics experienced by the participants. Conclusion Our study responds to the doctor-centric focus in existing research by exploring patients’ contributions to the doctor-patient relationship. Using comics to depict shared narratives, the parallel presenting group demonstrated significantly increased identification with the depicted doctor, perceived intimacy, and positive appraisal in prepared scenarios compared to the single presenting group. This underscores the effectiveness of patient-centered interventions in shaping positive attitudes toward doctors, highlighting the pivotal role patients play in fostering a resilient doctor-patient relationship.

Abstract:

Recognizing the importance of doctor engagement in online health communities (OHCs), managers and platform owners seek to foster doctor-patient interactions and encourage doctors’ knowledge sharing by introducing informal payments. This study investigates how informal payments in the form of monetary gifts affect doctor engagement, using the launch of a gifting feature by a leading OHC as a natural experiment that exogenously provides doctors with extra monetary incentives. We find that informal payments can have a crowding-out effect on doctors’ intrinsic motivation to engage in medical consultations. We also find that monetary and nonmonetary gifts play distinct roles in motivating doctor responses, with nonmonetary gifts having a more significant carryover effect on follow-up interactions and better promoting the doctor-patient relationship. Our findings additionally suggest that social status moderates the impact of digital gifting on doctor engagement. These findings provide useful implications for online health communities that have implemented or are planning to implement digital gifting to stimulate user engagement.

Abstract:

BackgroundTo work effectively, doctors need to look after themselves. They often delay seeking medical care for a range of reasons. Once they do, there is evidence that treating doctors can struggle to provide optimal care.AimTo examine existing literature on what is currently known about experiences for treating doctors, in particular general practitioners, when their patient is also a doctor.Design & settingScoping reviewMethodUsing the JBI methodological framework for scoping reviews, five databases (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Google Scholar and Scopus) were searched from start date until December 31, 2022. Qualitative and quantitative studies reporting the treating doctor’s experience, guidelines for treating doctors, expert opinion articles and editorials were included. Grey literature was considered, searching the first ten pages of two Google searches.ResultsForty-eight articles from eight countries met inclusion criteria, of which 12 were research studies. Four areas of focus were:Affective dimensions: anxiety about being criticised, concern about upsetting the doctor-patient, discomfort regarding the acknowledgement that doctors get sick;Relational dimensions: Boundary issues, over-identifying with the doctor-patient, treating them as a colleague rather than a patient;Confidentiality: Incorporating both affective and relational aspects;Influence of medical socialisation on dynamics between treating doctor and doctor-patient.These findings are distilled into a list of key suggestions for the treating doctor.ConclusionsDoctors can find treating doctor-patients anxiety-provoking and challenging. The sources of this discomfort are multifaceted, and more empirical research is needed to better understand and address the complex relationship between treating doctor and doctor-patient.

Abstract:

Abstract Background The efforts to explore and build the structure of good doctor abilities are important because they help improve the quality of education for medical students and better standardize the working performance of doctors. However, at present, no worldwide standards for such a structure have been established. In this study, we endeavoured to map the structure of good doctor abilities and identify their effects. Methods With a focus on China, a thematic content analysis was adopted in this study to analyse the personal profiles of 50 widely recognized good doctors. NVivo11 software was used. Results The Structure and Effects of Good Doctor Abilities in China model was proposed, and interpretations were made based on AMO theory. Good doctor abilities fall within six categories: rigorous clinical thinking, skilled in diagnosis and therapy, clinical empathy, continuous learning and innovation, enhancing and sharing experiences, and communication and coordination. These abilities have positive impacts on doctors’ work performances and social benefits by encouraging good behaviours, ultimately promoting the sustainable development of the hospitals where they serve. Conclusions In this study, we established a model of the structure and effects of good-doctor abilities in China and interpreted its mechanism, innovation and theory diversification in “good-doctor” research. Moreover, this study has practical significance because it provides systematic and well-targeted criteria for improving the professionalism of doctors, promoting more good doctor behaviours, providing guidance for regulating doctors’ conduct and providing a reference for medical education and working performance reviews worldwide.
