The Validity of Using Analogue Patients in Practitioner–Patient Communication Research: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

et al. 2012

When studying the patient perspective on communication, some studies rely on analogue patients (patients and healthy subjects) who rate videotaped medical consultations while putting themselves in the shoes of the video-patient. To describe the rationales, methodology, and outcomes of studies using video-vignette designs in which videotaped medical consultations are watched and judged by analogue patients. Pubmed, Embase, Psychinfo and CINAHL databases were systematically searched up to February 2012. Data was extracted on: study characteristics and quality, design, rationales, internal and external validity, limitations and analogue patients’ perceptions of studied communication. A meta-analysis was conducted on the distribution of analogue patients’ evaluations of communication. Thirty-four studies were included, comprising both scripted and clinical studies, of average-to-superior quality. Studies provided unspecific, ethical as well as methodological rationales for conducting video-vignette studies with analogue patients. Scripted studies provided the most specific methodological rationales and tried the most to increase and test internal validity (e.g. by performing manipulation checks) and external validity (e.g. by determining identification with video-patient). Analogue patients’ perceptions of communication largely overlap with clinical patients’ perceptions. The meta-analysis revealed that analogue patients’ evaluations of practitioners’ communication are not subject to ceiling effects. Analogue patients’ evaluations of communication equaled clinical patients’ perceptions, while overcoming ceiling effects. This implies that analogue patients can be included as proxies for clinical patients in studies on communication, taken some described precautions into account. Insights from this review may ease decisions about including analogue patients in video-vignette studies, improve the quality of these studies and increase knowledge on communication from the patient perspective.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s11606-012-2111-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…La correlación positiva hallada en este estudio entre la puntuación total en la escala y el nivel de éxito académico, es concordante con los resultados obtenidos por Rosenthal et al (1979), así como con otras investigaciones que han puesto de manifiesto que los sujetos con altas capacidades de sensibilidad interpersonal son más exitosos en el desempeño de sus tareas profesionales (Hall, Bernieri, Carney, 2005;Hall y Halberstadt, 1994;Hall, Murphy y Mast, 2006;Schmid Mast, Jonas y Hall, 2009); por otra parte, estos sujetos están más adaptados y son mejor valorados por sus compañeros y profesores durante sus estudios elementales (Konold, Jamison, Stanton-Chapman y Rimm-Kaufman, 2010), medios (Acoach y Webb, 2004) y universitarios (Hall, Roter, Blanch y Frankel, 2009).…”

Adaptación española de la versión reducida multicanal del Perfil de Sensibilidad No Verbal (MiniPONS)

2013

Resumen: En este trabajo se presenta la adaptación española de la versión reducida multicanal del Perfil de Sensibilidad No Verbal (MiniPONS) (Bänziger, Scherer, Hall y Rosenthal, 2011). Esta escala evalúa las diferencias individuales en la habilidad para reconocer emociones, actitudes interpersonales y comunicación de intenciones por canales no verbales. Esta versión multicanal reducida está compuesta por 64 estímulos no verbales de vídeo y/o audio que representan a una mujer en blanco y negro. El principal objetivo de este estudio es analizar las propiedades psicométricas del MiniPONS empleando para ello una amplia muestra de participantes (N = 1154) de entre 18 a 60 años, también se examinaron las diferencias en la sensibilidad no verbal en función del sexo y la edad. Se presentan los valores normativos, la fiabilidad y validez en tres estudios con 168, 254 y 1154 estudiantes universitarios. Los resultados muestran que las mujeres obtienen mejores puntuaciones en todas las condiciones estimulares, éstas no sólo procesan más eficientemente información emocional no verbal por canales unisensoriales (rostro, cuerpo, voz), si no que también la integran mejor. Los resultados indican que la versión española del MiniPONS presenta unas propiedades psicométricas similares a la escala original, mostrando moderada consistencia interna y fiabilidad test-retest, así como también una razonable validez convergente obtenida en las correlaciones con otras pruebas que evalúan la capacidad de reconocimiento emocional. Se concluye que la versión española del MiniPONS es un instrumento que evalúa adecuadamente la sensibilidad no verbal. Se discuten las limitaciones y potencial utilidad de la escala.

Abstract: The Spanish version of the MiniPONS (Bänziger, Scherer, Hall y Rosenthal, 2011), the short version multichannel of the Profile of Nonverbal Sensitivity (PONS), is presented. This scale was designed to measure individual differences in the ability to recognize emotions, interpersonal attitudes, and communicative intentions in nonverbal channels. This short multichannel version is composed of 64 items nonverbal audio and/or visual scenes portrayed by a female in black and white color. The main aim of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of MiniPONS using a large sample of university students (N = 1154) aged 18-60, this study also examined gender and age differences in nonverbal sensitivity. Normative data, reliability and validity were examined in three studies with 168, 254, and 1154 university students. The Spanish version of the MiniPONS has psychometric properties similar to those of the original version, the MiniPONS had moderate internal consistency and test-retest reliability, and shows reasonable convergent validity through significant correla...
