Patient Perceptions of the Relational Empathy of Healthcare Practitioners From the Department of Emergency Medicine During COVID-19: A Randomized, Controlled Trial Comparing In-Person Interaction With Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Versus Video Interaction Without PPE
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine whether patients perceive their healthcare practitioner as more empathetic during an in-person interaction with the practitioner wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), or during a video interaction without the need for PPE.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess whether certain physicians perform better with video whereas others perform better in person.
II. To characterize generational differences in patient perception of healthcare practitioner empathy during an in person interaction with the practitioner wearing PPE, or during a video interaction without the need for PPE.
OUTLINE: After initial visit, patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.
GROUP A (NO PPE): Patients receive standard of care via video call with treating physician.
GROUP B (WEARING PPE): Patients receive standard of care in-person physician visits.

Patients' perceptions of healthcare provider empathy
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
