“…Face validity was assessed by obtaining expert opinion and the original author reviewed back translation done by a bilingual expert and the tool was field-tested involving 1465 students. Total PPOS scores of our students were 3.9 -4.8, which is lower than what is reported from the Western world which is above 5.2 but slightly higher than other countries in the region (3.8) like India, Nepal and Pakistan 14 . Empathy is an essential attribute for doctors.…”

“…Deletion of items 9 and 17 improved the Cronbach’s α, which is consistent with a study conducted in Sri Lanka. 39 After modification, the two subscales of the 11-item PPOS were well separated in a fixed-factor EFA, with better indexes than prior similar studies, and the overall scale validity was reconfirmed by CFA. Taking into account the test–retest reliability and discriminative power, the 11-item CR-PPOS obtained better psychometric property than the original 18-item scale.…”

ObjectivesTo adapt the Patient–Practitioner Orientation Scale (PPOS), to a Chinese context, and explore the preference towards patient-centred communication among physicians and patients with the Chinese-revised Patient–Practitioner Orientation Scale (CR-PPOS).DesignA cross-sectional questionnaire-based study.SettingClinical settings from eight medical units, including four community hospitals and four general hospitals, in Shanghai, China.Participants1018 participants, including 187 physicians and 831 patients, completed this study in two successive stages.Outcome measurementsPsychometric properties of the CR-PPOS and participants’ score on the CR-PPOS.ResultsCompared with the original PPOS, the 11-item CR-PPOS obtained better psychometric indices. Physicians and patients scored differently on both the total CR-PPOS and its two subscales. Compared with physicians, the scores of patients were more influenced by their personal characteristics, such as age and education.ConclusionsThe CR-PPOS is a better instrument in a Chinese context than the original translated version. The divergence in the extent to which patient-centred communication is preferred among Chinese physicians and patients should be noted. Adapting physicians’ communication strategy to patients’ preferences based on their personal characteristics can be a viable approach towards improving clinical efficiency.

“…A mean score of ≥ 5 reflects a patient-centered viewpoint, 4.57 -4.99 indicates a moderate view, < 4.57 points to a doctor-centered perspective. The psychometric properties of the original and Persian versions were confirmed (10)(11)(12). In the current study, using a pilot study on 30 interns, the internal consistency of the PPOS was evaluated and determined as 0.60.…”

Background:The patient-centered approach improves the quality of health care. Promoting this approach will increase the patients' satisfaction and improve interpersonal skills among health care providers. Objectives:The aim of the current study was to compare the viewpoints of interns toward the patient-centered approach in the beginning and the end of the internship at the Kerman University of Medical Sciences (KUMS). Methods: This longitudinal study was carried out at KUMS between March 2017 and July 2018. All medical students who had passed the internship entrance exam were selected through a census. The Persian version of the patient-practitioner orientation scale (PPOS) was completed at the start and the end of the internship. This instrument has 18 items in two 9-item subscales: sharing and caring. The minimum and maximum scores were 1 to 6, respectively. The higher the score, the more the patient-centered orientation. The data were analyzed by SPSS using independent and paired t-tests, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression. Results:The mean scores of PPOS were 3.92 ± 0.42 and 3.86 ± 0.37 at the beginning and the end of the internship, respectively. This difference was not statistically significant. The mean score of the caring subscale significantly increased during internship but no significant change was found in the mean score of the sharing subscale. Conclusions:The results of our study showed that the patient-centered attitude toward patient caring improved during the internship in the majority of interns but no significant improvement was found in terms of patient sharing. Significant progress can be made in the quality of physician-patient communication and patient satisfaction if necessary training programs are run on patient-centeredness.
