["To explore the degree of agreement between patient and health care professional's perceptions of consultations.", "Immediately after 141 dietitian/nurse specialist consultations, patients and professional's completed the Health Care Climate questionnaire (HCC), Medical Interview Satisfaction Scale (MISS) and the Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire (TSRQ) In addition, both parties were asked about any key points or issues discussed in the consultation; any decisions that were made about their diabetes treatment today; any goals that were set as a result of today's consultation.", "Patient and professional's scores on the HCC and MISS were not correlated (r=0.3 and 0.16). Patient and professionals disagreed on the issues discussed 19.6% of the time, on the decisions made 20.7% of the time and goals set 44.3% of the time. More autonomy support in the consultation was associated with greater autonomous motivation for self-care (r=0.31; P<0.001) more controlled motivation was associated with less agreement on issues discussed and goals set (r=-0.20; r= -0.24; P<0.05)."] Do discrepancies between patient and professionals recall and perception of an outpatient consultation?
