To introduce two short counseling skills for busy family doctors: the BATHE technique and the DIG technique.
The BATHE technique indicates five areas for questioning patients who require counseling: background, affect, trouble, handling, and empathy. No research on use of the technique has been published. The DIG technique is the author's modification of the BATHE technique.
While the efficacy of counseling in general was validated, more research on the effectiveness on these two techniques needs to be done.
Since counseling is an integral part of family practice, family doctors will find these techniques useful. Each is easy to learn and takes less than 15 minutes to complete.
向忙碌的家庭医生介绍两种简短的咨询技巧：BATHE技巧和DIG技巧。
BATHE技巧指出了对需要咨询的患者进行提问的五个方面：背景、情感、问题、处理方式和同理心。尚未发表关于该技巧使用情况的研究。DIG技巧是作者对BATHE技巧的改进。
虽然一般咨询的有效性已得到验证，但仍需对这两种技巧的有效性进行更多研究。
由于咨询是家庭医疗的一个组成部分，家庭医生会发现这些技巧很有用。每种技巧都易于学习，完成时间不到15分钟。
