Rating of Physician's Compassion
Participant's rating of physician's compassion scored by using a 5-item tool consisting of five 0-10 numerical rating scales assessing five dimensions: warm-cold, pleasant-unpleasant, compassionate-distant, sensitive insensitive, caring-uncaring. Sum of the five scales gives a final score representing physician's compassion with a 0 to 50 scale.
