“…The questionnaire was designed to assess medication non-adherence factors in TB patients and intended for use across public and private healthcare settings in Indonesia, providing actionable insights for healthcare professionals. The insights provided by this questionnaire ( Mekonnen and Azagew, 2018 ; Vaughan et al, 2019 ) were expected to assist policymakers, medical practitioners, and scientists in enhancing healthcare delivery and patient adherence to improve treatment outcomes ( DiMatteo, 2004 ; Departemen Kesehatan, 2018 ; Kemenkes, 2020 ).…”

Background: Medication non-adherence is a significant concern in tuberculosis (TB) treatment, requiring a precise understanding of the associated risk factors. However, there is a lack of appropriate means to assess the risk factors among TB patients in Indonesia, leading to the development and validation of a structured questionnaire for this purpose.Method: This study unfolded in two distinct phases, namely, the first included questionnaire construction through framework development, item generation, item screening, and pretesting (in 50 patients). The second comprised questionnaire validation with 346 participants using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling-partial least squares (SEM-PLS). Additionally, reliability testing was conducted using Cronbach’s alpha and composite reliability statistical techniques.Results: In the development phase, 168 items were defined, consisting of sociodemographic characteristics (8 items) and risk factors for medication non-adherence (160 items). Expert evaluation reduced the number of items to 60, which decreased to 22 after performing a pilot study. Subsequent SEM-PLS modeling resulted in the identification of 14 valid items, representing five major risk factors, namely, socioeconomics (4 items), healthcare team (4 items), condition (3 items), therapy (2 items), and patient (1 item). Only condition-related factors were found to influence non-adherence, and all constructs showed good reliability based on Cronbach’s alpha (>0.6) and composite reliability (0.7) values.Conclusion: The final 22 items that emerged from this rigorous process indicated a valid and robust questionnaire for assessing risk factors of medication non-adherence among pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Indonesia. The developed questionnaire was positioned to be a valuable tool for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and scientists in creating patient-centered strategies and interventions to address non-adherence.

“…In fact, the majority of patient complaints arise secondary to a breakdown in communication between the patient and practitioner (O'Keeffe et al, 2016). Within the allied health setting, communication and interpersonal skills are an important element of clinical practice and can have a strong influence on the patient experience (Thomson & Collyer, 2017;Vaughan et al, 2019). Communication skills are of high importance to patients, with preferences favouring practitioners who involve the patient in decision making and demonstrate empathy (Leach et al, 2013).…”

Introduction: Effective patient–practitioner communication contributes to patient health outcomes by strengthening therapeutic relationships and, in the process, contributing to overall quality of patient care. Despite the growth of student-led university teaching clinics, little research has investigated communication skills within this context. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the patient-perceived levels of communication and interpersonal skills within a student-led allied health clinic.Methods: The Communication Assessment Tool (CAT) was used to collect cross-sectional data on patients’ perceptions of student communication and interpersonal skills within an osteopathy teaching clinic. Data were analysed via descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: According to the CAT, patients perceived the students’ communication and interpersonal skills to be “excellent” overall (97.2%). No significant differences were found between percentage of “excellent” responses and gender (p = .600), number of consultations (p = .374) or pain duration (p = .741).Conclusions: Patients in this setting perceive student communication and interpersonal skills to be of a high standard. This can contribute positively to the patient–practitioner therapeutic alliance and may improve overall health outcomes. These findings have implications for communication training within student-led health professions clinics and tertiary curricula more broadly.
