Emotionele 112-gesprekken: emoties, reacties en effecten

Abstract

Emotion in emergency calls: Emotion, responses, and effectsCall-takers in emergency call-centres report that one of their most difficult tasks is to deal with emotional callers since these have problems in collaborating to achieve the goal of the call, the quick and accurate gathering of required information. This investigation gives insight in the interaction between call-takers and emotional callers. First we map out callers' emotion acts. Then we look how call-takers respond to these acts. And finally we will discuss the effects of these responses on the emotional caller. The research data consist of 60 calls to the national Dutch emergency call-centre in Driebergen and the local emergency call-centre in Utrecht. After categorising the emotion acts it became clear that only two of them caused interactional problems. Crying callers do not stick to the rules of sequential organization. Screaming callers go against the rules of turn organization. Not only do callers behave differently, also call-takers respond differently to different emotion acts. Crying is more often responded to with sympathetic responses while screaming more often receives directives.Keywords: emotion, emergency calls, conversation analysis １ Aanleiding １Veel landen hebben een speciaal telefoonnummer dat bij noodsituaties kan worden gebeld, zodat indien nodig snel hulp kan worden geboden.

Optimising telephone triage of patients calling for acute shortness of breath during out-of-hours primary care: protocol of a multiple methods study (Opticall)

“…Patients who express emotions as paralinguistic behaviour do not deviate from the structure. However, these patients are, most of the times, not able to answer on a question asked by the triage nurse 27. Yet, further information on the influence of these concerns on the urgency allocation during triage calls is lacking.…”
