OBJECTIVE
To investigate physician-patient communication in the context of hysterectomy decision making.
METHODS
A series of 17 focus groups with African American and white women (n=82) between the ages of 30 and 65 were run. Personal interviews with physicians (n=7) also were conducted. Transcripts were analyzed using NUD*IST software and note-based techniques.
RESULTS
For both patients and physicians, the optimal physician-patient interaction would be for the physician to provide plain, usable information to the patient allowing the patient to make the hysterectomy decision.
CONCLUSIONS
The current state of physician-patient interaction represents collaboration but not a shared approach approximating the deliberative model.
