Task: Question Generation
Input (English): To assess the relationship between physicians' beliefs about the psychosocial aspects of patient care and their routine communication with patients.", 'Fifty community primary care physicians participating in a continuing medical education program and 473 of their patients in Portland, Oregon.', 'Routine office visits were audiotaped and analyzed for communication behaviors and emotional tone using the Roter Interactional Analysis System (RIAS). Physician beliefs about psychosocial aspects of care were measured using a self-report questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale. Attitudes were correlated with communication behaviors using the Pearson correlation coefficient.', "Physicians' attitudes toward psychosocial aspects of care were associated with both physician and patient dialogue in visits. The physicians who had positive attitudes used more statements of emotion (i.e., empathy, reassurance) (p < 0.05) and fewer closed-ended questions (p < 0.01) than did their colleagues who had less positive attitudes. The patients of the physicians who had positive attitudes more actively participated in care (i.e., expressing opinions, asking questions), and these physicians provided relatively more psychosocial and less biomedical information (p < 0.05).
Output (English): Do physicians ' psychosocial beliefs correlate with their patient communication skills?
