• Outpatients average 3-4
concerns per visit• More efficient
• 35 vs. 15% doorknob questions
• Main concern often not

2. State your concerns: “I’m concerned about your asthma.”
3. Offer a plan: “Can we start with your breathing, then your headache, then your blood pressure medications? I’ll need a few days to help you with the form.”
Step 2: Elicit & Respond to the Other’s Perspective

Pandora’s Box
• How quickly do you think health care providers interrupt patients?
• How long will patients speak if given the opportunity?
The Other’s Perspective
• Begin with an open-ended request / question
• “Tell me all about …”
• Listen attentively and silently
• Can use neutral utterances and nonverbal
encouragement
• Resist the urge to jump to questions
Tools for active listening
• Pauses
• Echoing
• Requests for more information
• Reflections and summaries
Skills practice
v Work in dyads.
v You will be in two different roles for 2 minutes each.1. Storyteller describes a challenge in a working
relationship – with a patient, colleague, supervisor, etc.
2. Interviewer uses pauses, echoing, requests for more information, and reflections/summaries (NOT close-ended questions, advice, or his/her own stories).

Debrief
v For the storyteller roles: What was it like to tell your story and experience reflective listening?
v For the interviewer roles: How was it to listen reflectively?
Need more information? Elicit the other’s function, ideas, fears, and expectations
1. Function“How has this affected your comfort at work?”
2. Ideas“What are your ideas about what might becausing this?”
3. Fears“What worries you about this?”
4. Expectations“How can I best help you today?”
Weston, Brown, & Stewart: Can Fam Physician. Jan 1989

It was awful – she had to go to the ER all the time with my parents toget treatment.REFLECT: I’m sorry to hear your sister had such severe asthma.TEACH: I don’t think your condition is nearly as serious as hers. Some people get asthma reactions when they have a virus or allergy, and quickly improve with an inhaler.ASK: What is your experience with inhalers? …

resources, and
preferences
• Specific
• Achievable
Summarize and clarify with teach back

improved outcomes
