21 september 2015 uppdaterad av: Chau Wing Leong, The University of Hong Kong

The Two-Way Communication Checklist (2-COM) in First Episode Psychosis Patients in Hong Kong: an Open Label Randomized Controlled Trial

The Two-Way Communication Checklist (2-COM) is a communication tool developed by van Os et al. (2002). It aims to provide an opportunity for patients to voice their needs and problem to minimize the discrepancy and miscommunication between patient and professional carer. In this randomized controlled trial, the investigators aim to examine whether using 2-COM checklist would lead to improvement in first episode psychosis patient's overall satisfaction, change in treatment option in clinicians and consultation time.

Detaljerad beskrivning

Communication is at the heart of psychiatric practice. Good communication has positive impact on treatment, treatment satisfaction and treatment adherence. However, different characteristics of psychosis barricade the communication between clinicians and patients. Consequently, the divergent views of needs of care between patients and clinicians may be established due to miscommunication. Such divergence may barricade the planning and the outcome of treatment.

In Hong Kong, the core psychiatric services as well as early intervention for first episode psychosis patients are provided by psychiatric outpatient clinics. Mental health services in Hong Kong are overwhelmed by large demands of the services and inadequate mental health care workforce such as low psychiatrists-to-population ratio and psychiatric nurse-to-population ratio. The large demands of services and inadequate mental health care workforce restrained the services' quality. In some busy psychiatric outpatient clinic, a clinician needs to consult 30 patients in a 3-hour session. Hui et al. (2008) study showed that the mean consultation time in one of the general psychiatric outpatient clinic in Hong Kong is 5.8 minutes.

To sum up, a cost-effectiveness instrument is in need for the early intervention psychiatric outpatient clinic in Hong Kong. The instrument has to reduce the needs' divergence, communication between clinicians and patients, and enhance the patients' involvement of clinical decision-making in the rushed psychiatric consultation. The Two-Way Communication Checklist (2-COM) may satisfy the demand.

Primära resultatmått

Resultatmått
Åtgärdsbeskrivning
Tidsram
Satisfaction level (patient satisfaction questionnaire)
Tidsram: within 30 minutes after a psychiatric consultation
A patient satisfaction questionnaire as used in Hui et al. (2008) was adopted in this study. This was a self-administered questionnaire rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = very satisfactory to 5 = very unsatisfactory). The questionnaire consisted of 2 parts. Part A has 6 items concerning the perceived attitude of the clinician (subscale score range, 6-30). Part B has 11 items concerning communication with the clinician (subscale score range, 11-55). The higher score indicates the higher satisfaction.

Tidsram
Change of treatment (checklist)
Tidsram: within 30 minutes after a psychiatric consultation
A checklist that measured change in treatment was adopted. This checklist included 4 items which will be rated on a dichotomous selection (yes/no) by clinician. The 4 items are related to the change of medication, providing information about treatment, involvement of other members of the care team and professional support services.
within 30 minutes after a psychiatric consultation
Consultation time
Tidsram: From the time of patients' entering the consultation room till leaving the consultation room in a psychiatric consultation, up to 5 hours
The consultation time will be counted between patients' entering and leaving the consultation room by a stopwatch.
From the time of patients' entering the consultation room till leaving the consultation room in a psychiatric consultation, up to 5 hours
