Patient Centered Interview
3. SCREENING :
Checking with the patient all they wish to discuss
“So you’ve been getting headache and dizziness lately. Has anything
else been bothering you ?”
If the patient continues….
“So you’ve also been feeling very tired and irritable and wondering if you
might be anemic. Anything else at all ?”
If the patient stops….
“So as I understand it, you’ve been getting headache and dizziness but
have also been feeling tired rather irritable and a bit low, and your
concern is that you might be anemic, did I get that right? ”
Initiating the session
Establishing initial rapport
Identifying the reason(s)
4. AGENDA SETTING :
structuring the consultation.
Priorities can be established and negotiated.
‘Shall we start with the new problems, the diarrhea, and then move onto the
problems you have with your medication.’
Doctor agenda can be added :
‘Lets think about your headache. I wouldn’t mind checking on your blood
pressure later on, if that’s all right’
Problem with time
‘I’m not sure that we have enough time to do it all. How about…’
Gathering information
Exploration of problems
Understanding patient’s perspective
Providing structure to the consultation
Exploration of problems
1. STARTING THE PATIENT OFF :
Open ended question
‘Tell me about your headache?’
Patient’s narrative : own word, from when it first start up to the present
‘Tell me about your headache from the beginning’
2. ATTENTIVE LISTENING
wait time, facilitative response, non-verbal skills, picking up verbal and
non-verbal cues
Gathering information
Exploration of problems
Understanding patient’s perspective
Providing structure to the consultation
3. FACILITATIVE RESPONSE :
– Encouragement : ‘uh-huh’, ‘okay’, ‘go on’, ‘I see’
– Silence : brief silence or pause
– Repetition or echoing : ‘Pain on your chest?’
– Paraphrasing : restating in our word – ‘Kedengarannya anda
sedikit khawatir dalam menghadapi masalah ini’
Developing Rapport
1. ACCEPTANCE : accepting response, acknowledging the patients’
rights to hold their own views and feelings.
Example:
Patient says : ‘I think I might have cancer, doctor. I feel so tired…’, said
the patient
Our expression : ‘
You’re worried that tiredness might be caused by cancer’ (restating)
or
‘I can understand that you want to get that check out’ (ligitimizing)
‘[stop…]’ (Full stop, allow the patient to continue…)
Building the relationship
Developing rapport
Involving the patient
Example :
‘I can appreciate how difficult it is for you to talk about this’ or
‘I can see that you have been very upset by her behavior’
End summary : summarizing the session briefly and clarify the plan
‘So, just to recap, I think your diabetes has crept out of control a little over
the last year, probably because of the weight that you have put on, but
hopefully we will be able to get your sugar back to a satisfactory level if
you can get your weight down to where it was before. I will find you the
diet sheet that I mentioned and then we’ll see you in two months and see
how well you’re managing. Is that a reasonable summary o what we have
agreed?’
Contracting : contracting about the next step for both patient and doctor
‘So, I will dictate a letter to the specialist explaining the problem and fax it
later today. If the test is abnormal, I will phone you before your
appointment. Would you call me after your appointment and tell me what
dr Jones has said?’
