TL;DR
Although higher stress was associated with verbal dominance and lower patient ratings, moderate stress wasassociated with some positive communication behaviors and Prospective mixed methods studies should examine the complex relationships across the continuum of clinician well-being and health communication.
Abstract
Although higher stress was associated with verbal dominance and lower patient ratings, moderate stress was associated with some positive communication behaviors. Prospective mixed methods studies should examine the complex relationships across the continuum of clinician well-being and health communication.
