Tone matters when talking to patients about weight

Описание к видео Tone matters when talking to patients about weight

An analysis of patient encounters at 38 primary care clinics found that patients were more likely to participate in a recommended weight loss program and lose weight successfully if physicians presented treatments for obesity as good news and as an “opportunity” rather than emphasizing the negative consequences of obesity or using neutral language. These findings suggest that how physicians talk to their patients about weight loss can have an impact on their success.

The study is published in Annals of Internal Medicine: https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.73...
