About
Investigators are interested to see whether patients who received a visit question prompt list before the consultation ask more questions, feel more actively involved in their healthcare, and think of their surgeon as being more empathetic.
Full description
Visiting a doctor with a musculoskeletal problem can be quite a daunting experience for patients. A visit question prompt list may help to empower patients and increase their role in active decision-making. Previous studies have shown that patient activation is correlated with a disability, pain intensity, and satisfaction with treatment. Perceived empathy is strongly associated with satisfaction among people with arm problems. A list that prompts patients to ask about things that matter to them, might improve their connection with the surgeon and their perceived empathy. The investigators are interested to see whether patients who received a visit question prompt list before the consultation ask more questions, feel more actively involved in their healthcare, and think of their surgeon as being more empathetic.
