Patients' Requests of an Outpatient Clinic

A Comparison of Usa and New Zealand Patients' Requests and Clinicians Understanding of Patients' Requests

“…The clinicians in the New Zealand study were better able to estimate their patients' requests than those in Burgoyne's (1979) sample (correlation coefficient, r = ~0, p < .005, versus r = .59, p < .05, between clinician estimates and patients' requests). This difference could be explained by the differences in the clinician samples; Burgoyne's (1979) clinicians were second-year residents in psychiatry while the clinicians in the New Zealand study were all fully qualified psychiatrists with several years experience. The clinicians in both studies tended to underestimate the degree patients wanted certain requests.…”

“…When comparing the over or under estimation of patients' requests by clinicians, the results were the same as in Burgoyne's (1979) study for 9 of the 14 request categories. The clinicians in the New Zealand study were better able to estimate their patients' requests than those in Burgoyne's (1979) sample (correlation coefficient, r = ~0, p < .005, versus r = .59, p < .05, between clinician estimates and patients' requests). This difference could be explained by the differences in the clinician samples; Burgoyne's (1979) clinicians were second-year residents in psychiatry while the clinicians in the New Zealand study were all fully qualified psychiatrists with several years experience.…”

“…However and Zisook et al (1979a) samples appeared to include more &dquo;acute&dquo; patients with Lazare utilizing walk-in clients and Zisook's outpatient sample being assisted to complete the form if &dquo;upset&dquo; Burgoyne (1979) felt that the difference in the medical request preference was most likely related to the more temporarily pressing needs of walk-in patients as compared to patients who have usually been referred and had to wait for their appointment before being seen, as with those clients in the New Zealand sample. When comparing the over or under estimation of patients' requests by clinicians, the results were the same as in Burgoyne's (1979) study for 9 of the 14 request categories. The clinicians in the New Zealand study were better able to estimate their patients' requests than those in Burgoyne's (1979) sample (correlation coefficient, r = ~0, p < .005, versus r = .59, p < .05, between clinician estimates and patients' requests).…”

Thérapie de groupe pour hommes violents envers leur conjointe : abandon thérapeutique chez ces hommes

“…Il serait de plus utile de vérifier leurs attentes vis-à-vis le processus thérapeutique lui-même : leurs attitudes et croyances par rapport à la thérapie, et les écarts entre leurs attentes et ce qui se passe vraiment en thérapie Kushner et al, 1989). Il serait aussi utile de vérifier quelle est leur perception du rôle des thérapeutes pendant les sessions (Burgoyne et al, 1979). Ces différentes mesures pourraient permettre la mise en place de programmes d'intervention pouvant mieux répondre aux attentes des jeunes hommes violents et, ultimement, leur satisfaction par rapport à ce traitement.…”

Verwachtingen van patiënten bij aanvang van de psychotherapie: voorspellers van drop-out?

“…In ons onderzoek zijn we uitgegaan van de PBV (Beijne & Hoencamp, 1991; versie met 17 items) die gebaseerd is op een verkorte vorm (Burgoyne, Staples, Yamamoto, Wolkon & Kline, 1979) van de een oorspronkelijke Amerikaanse lijst, de Patient Request Form (PRF: Lazare & Eisenthal, 1997). Elk item is geformuleerd als een uitspraak die een van de volgende behoeften representeert: probleemverheldering, advies, confessie, controle, medicijnen, administratieve behoeften, sociale interventie, inzicht, contact met de realiteit, expertise, geı¨nstitutiona-liseerd contact, steun, lichamelijk onderzoek, ventileren, directieven, coping met problemen, en 'niets' (Beijne & Hoencamp, 1991).…”
