Does an empathic pre-visit conversation with another team member improve perceived surgeon empathy?

Orthopedic surgeon specialists can help alleviate symptoms and reduce self-reported activity limitations by addressing stress, distress, and unhelpful cognitive biases regarding pain (e.g., “hurt equals harm”). But noticing mental and social health opportunities in specialty care can harm the patien...

We enrolled 100 patients visiting an orthopedic surgeon for the first time.

At the end of the visit we recorded perceived surgeon empathy, pain intensity, magnitude of self-reported activity limitations, symptoms of depression, and satisfaction with the surgeon. The pre-visit discussion did not affect perceived surgeon empathy (p=0.81), pain intensity (p=0.75), magnitude of self-reported activity limitations (p=0.63), symptoms of depression (p=0.46), or satisfaction with the surgeon (p=0.79). Patient experience with a surgeon does not benefit from a positive milieu created by a non-surgeon team member. Future studies can address relationship-building tactics used by the surgeon. <strong>Experience Framework</strong> This article is associated with the Patient, Family & Community Engagement lens of The Beryl Institute Experience Framework.
