Abstract EN
The present study aims to assess how patient satisfaction with medical provider-patient communication can affect oral health, diabetes, and psychobehavioural measures among type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients.
It is part of a prospective intervention study among randomly selected T2DM patients, in Turkey.
The data analyzed were Community Periodontal Need Index (CPI), HbA1c, patient satisfaction with communication, and psychobehavioural variables.
Data was collected initially and at the end of the intervention.
The participants were allocated to either health coaching (HC) or health education (HE).
At baseline, there were no statistical differences between the HC and the HE groups on any of the measures (P>0.05).
Patients in both the HC and the HE groups had low satisfaction with communication.
At postintervention, the increase in patient satisfaction with communication in the HC group was significantly higher than that in the HE group (P=0.001).
Principal component analysis revealed that patient satisfaction with communication shared the same cluster with clinical measures (CPI and HbA1c) and quality of life in the HC group.
In conclusion, the present study showed, to our knowledge for the first time, that overall patient satisfaction with medical care provider-patient communication, empowered by HC approach, was interrelated with well-being of T2DM patients, in terms of psychobehavioural and clinical measures.
