Defining quality categories for evaluation of the doctor–patient relationship assessed through the patient–doctor relationship questionnaire (PDRQ-9)
The categorization proposed in this study enhances the interpretability of PDRQ-9 results, providing a practical framework for assessing the quality of the doctor-patient relationship. By establishing actionable quality categories, this tool could support targeted interventions, such as performance feedback and training, aimed at fostering empathy, communication, and trust in healthcare settings.
