To measure the time used by a patient to explain the reason for his/her visit to the general practitioner, when he/she is permitted to talk freely and without interruption.
A descriptive study where only previously known patients, who had a new reason for a consultation, were considered.
Visits to general practitioners' offices in Slovenia and Croatia.
Six general practitioners (two Slovenes and four Croatians) who recorded the time spent on 480 consultations.
The period of time measured was that used by the patients, at the beginning of the consultation, to reply to the doctor's question: "What can I do for you today?" Average time used by the patients was 28.6 seconds. There was a link between the older age group and a longer time period. There were no gender differences.
Patients are able to explain calmly and without interruptions the reason for their visit. Interruptions by the doctor are probably unnecessary and do not save time.
测量患者在被允许自由交谈且不被打断的情况下，向全科医生解释就诊原因所花费的时间。
一项描述性研究，仅纳入有新的就诊原因的已知患者。
斯洛文尼亚和克罗地亚的全科医生诊所。
六位全科医生（两位斯洛文尼亚人和四位克罗地亚人）记录了480次就诊所花费的时间。
测量的时间段是患者在就诊开始时回答医生问题“今天我能为您做什么？”所花费的时间。患者平均用时28.6秒。年龄较大的患者群体与较长的用时之间存在关联。不存在性别差异。
患者能够平静且不被打断地解释就诊原因。医生打断可能没有必要，也不会节省时间。
