Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Participant's Perception of Physician's Compassion

    Participant's rating of physician's compassion assessed by using a validated 5-item tool consisting of five 0-10 numerical rating scales assessing five dimensions: warm-cold, pleasant-unpleasant, compassionate- distant, sensitive- insensitive, and caring-uncaring. The sum of the five scales gives a final score representing physician's compassion on a scale of 0 to 50.
