Hospitalized patients' perception of their physician's effectiveness as a patient educator was surveyed, using three basic areas of doctor-patient communication: diagnoses, medications, and follow-up plans. The survey instrument, a questionnaire designed and administered by medical students, was designed to ascertain (1) the patients' satisfaction with their hospital stay, (2) satisfaction with their physician as a patient educator, (3) any correlation between (1) and (2), and finally (4) specific data about the amount and kind of information that patients perceived had been transferred from their physician. Satisfaction with their doctor as a patient educator was not a good predictor of satisfaction with the hospital stay. Results are compared with those of a similar survey published in the British medical literature. The effectiveness of the resident physicians as patient educators increased as they were given more information about the exact content of the survey. Their increased effectiveness did not clearly persist during a later follow-up period.
诊断、药物治疗和后续计划，对住院患者对其医生作为患者教育者的有效性的认知进行了调查。该调查问卷由医学生设计并实施，旨在确定：（1）患者对住院治疗的满意度；（2）对医生作为患者教育者的满意度；（3）（1）和（2）之间的任何相关性；最后（4）关于患者认为从医生那里获得的信息数量和种类的具体数据。对医生作为患者教育者的满意度并不能很好地预测对住院治疗的满意度。研究结果与英国医学文献中发表的一项类似调查的结果进行了比较。住院医师作为患者教育者的有效性随着他们获得更多关于调查确切内容的信息而提高。在随后的随访期间，他们提高的有效性并没有明显持续。
