Of time and troubles
Patient involvement in care practice has many and diverse proponents. It is endorsed by health care institutions and promoted by community agencies representing people with illness. A vast literature documents the benefits of patient involvement and describes ways to enable it. This article contributes to a critical literature on patient involvement by documenting the work done by women with cancer in relation to care timelines and in responding …
When Surgeons Advise Against Surgery
This article examines the significant interactional work undertaken by orthopedic surgeons in the delivery of recommendations not for surgery—recommendations against surgery or for nonsurgical treatment. Surgeons recurrently use a number of features prior to these recommendations: Projecting turns, parenthetical remarks, brightsides, logical inferences and syllogisms, general case/usual course descriptions, and turns that display the relevance of…
How surgeons design treatment recommendations in orthopaedic surgery
An interactional approach to conceptualising small talk in medical interactions
In medical interactions, it may seem straightforward to identify 'small talk' as casual or social talk superfluous to the institutional work of dealing with patients' medical concerns. Such a broad characterisation is, however, extremely difficult to apply to actual talk, and more specificity is necessary to pursue analyses of how small talk is produced and what it achieves for participants in medical interactions. We offer an approach to delinea…
“I like to be an informed person but…” negotiating responsibility for treatment decisions in cancer care
I've heard wonderful things about you'
This investigation was motivated by physician reports that patient compliments often raise 'red flags' for them, raising questions about whether compliments are being used in the service of achieving some kind of advantage. Our goal was to understand physician discomfort with patient compliments through analyses of audiotaped surgeon-patient encounters. Using conversation analysis, we demonstrate that both the placement and design of compliments …
“It's Not What You Say …”
BACKGROUND: Excellent communication between surgeons and patients is critical to helping patients to make informed decisions and is a key component of both high quality of care and patient satisfaction. Understanding racial disparities in communication is essential to provide quality care to all patients. OBJECTIVE: To examine the content and process of informed decision-making (IDM) between orthopedic surgeons and elderly white versus African Am…
Small talk, high stakes
The literature on "small talk" has not described the way in which this talk, even as it "oils the social wheels of work talk" (Holmes 2000), enables disattending to the instrumental tasks in which one or both participants may be engaged. Small talk in simultaneity can disattend to the movements, bodily invasions, and recording activities functional for the instrumental tasks of medicine. Small talk in sequence occurs in sensitive sequential envir…
Homeless People’s Perceptions of Welcomeness and Unwelcomeness in Healthcare Encounters
BACKGROUND: Homeless people face many barriers to obtaining health care, and their attitudes toward seeking health care services may be shaped in part by previous encounters with health care providers. OBJECTIVE: To examine how homeless persons experienced "welcomeness" and "unwelcomeness" in past encounters with health care providers and to characterize their perceptions of these interactions. DESIGN: Qualitative content analysis of 17 in-depth …
Unstable Embodiments
Understanding the Meaning of Satisfaction With Treatment Outcome
OBJECTIVE: Although satisfying patients is an important goal in health care, what is meant by satisfaction in relation to treatment outcome is not clear. The objective of this study was to explore patients' perspectives on the meaning of satisfaction with treatment outcome. DESIGN: We conducted a qualitative exploratory study. SETTING: This study was conducted at an adult tertiary care hospital. PATIENTS: Individuals who had undergone elective ha…
Testing a New Theory of Patient Satisfaction With Treatment Outcome
OBJECTIVES: Theories of patient satisfaction with treatment outcome have not been developed and tested in healthcare settings. The objectives of this study were to test a new theory linking patient satisfaction and embodiment (body--self unity) and examine it in relation to other competing theories. DESIGN: We conducted a prospective cohort study. SETTING: This study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital. PATIENTS: We studied 122 individuals …
