Table 3 shows the bivariate correlations between communication
quality (4HCS) and patient age, pain duration, and consultation
length. There were strongly significant negative correlations
between the 4HCS total score and patient age and pain duration.
This reflects a difference of about eight points between young
and old patients or between patients with duration of pain less
or more than 10 years. We found similar correlations with habits
IV, III, and II as well, but not with habit I. The differences pertained
mostly to interest in the patient’s understanding and psychosocial
status, encouraging expression of emotions, test for comprehension,
involvement in decisions, and asking for additional questions.
The negative correlation between 4HCS total score and pain duration
was significant for all professional groups (chiropractors 0.50
(p = 0.003), physiotherapists 0.37 (p = 0.02), physicians 0.77
(p = 0.04)). All other correlations went in the same direction for
all professional groups.
