• Target: 211
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 2

Brief Summary

The purpose of this "before-after" prospective multicenter study is to assess the impact of six Patient Information Leaflets (PILs) on Doctor Patient Communication scale (DPC) and adherence scale for common acute illnesses in emergency ward.

Conditions

Ankle Sprain; Infectious Colitis; Diverticulitis; Pyelonephritis; Prostatitis; Pneumonitis

Keywords

Ankle sprain; Infectious colitis; Diverticulitis; Pyelonephritis; Prostatitis; Pneumonitis; Patient Information Leaflet (PIL); Doctor Patient Communication; Adherence; Satisfaction; Scale; Doctor Patient Communication scale; Adherence scale; Satisfaction scale

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Doctor Patient Communication score

  All patients will be called seven to ten days after the delivery of a PIL during the visit to answer a questionnaire on their perception of Doctor Patient Communication (DPC) since they visit the GP. Il will permit to calculate a DPC score.

  In seven to ten days after delivery

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Adherence score

  In seven to ten days after the delivery

• Satisfaction score

  In seven to ten days after the delivery

• Doctor Patient Communication score

  Just after the visit

Study Arms (2)

Phase 1 (without PIL)

NO INTERVENTION

No particular intervention during consultation for the patient

Phase 2

EXPERIMENTAL

Patient Information Leaflet is given to the patient during the consultation

Procedure: Patient Information Leaflet (PIL)

Interventions

Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) PROCEDURE

Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) about infectious colitis, diverticulitis, pneumonitis, prostatitis or either pyelonephritis is given to the patient related to his disease during the consultation

Phase 2
