Inter- and Intra-Rater Reliability of the Measure of Patient-Centered Communication

Introduction: The patient-centered clinical method allows the biopsychosocial model to be implemented in practice. It is critical look at use of method, which has been shown benefit both patients and clinicians, particularly primary care. Measure Patient-Centered Communication (MPPC) a theory-based instrument for assessment patient-physician interaction. aim this research investigate inter- intra-rater reliability MPCC tool Turkish. Methods: Audiovisual recordings 60 consultations 30 family physicians were evaluated. Three researchers independently assessed scored these interviews with by following instructions manual tool. Evaluators reassessed randomly selected 20 15 days later determine reliability. For each component score overall score, ICC estimates, their 95% confidence intervals calculated based on mean-rating (k=3), consistency, 2-way mixed-effects model. Results: ICCs one 0.810 0.820, respectively, all consultations, demonstrating strong inter-rater Components two three had 0.646, indicating reliability, 0.537, moderate All researchers' correlation scores groups ranged between 0.989 0.698, good excellent Conclusions: reliable its current form as it translated into another language conducted sociocultural environment.
