  • Appointment Length with Patients in Medical Consultations in Bangladesh: a Hospital-Based Cross-Sectional Study
    healthcare Article Appointment Length with Patients in Medical Consultations in Bangladesh: A Hospital-Based Cross-Sectional Study Madhab Chandra Das 1, Muhammad Zakaria 1 , Feng Cheng 2,3 and Junfang Xu 4,* 1 Department of Communication and Journalism, University of Chittagong, Chittagong 4331, Bangladesh; [email protected] (M.C.D.); [email protected] (M.Z.) 2 Vanke School of Public Health, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China; [email protected] 3 Institute for Healthy China, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China 4 Center for Health Policy Studies, School of Public Health, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou 310058, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In medical consultations, the length of the visit has a significant impact on the quality of care. It is significantly associated with a better quality of treatment and better health outcomes. In this study, we analyzed doctors’ consultation length with patients and associated factors in Bangladesh. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among the patients (N = 763) who visited the doctors in six district/upazila (sub-district) hospitals in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) area. Linear regression analyses were performed to identify the determining factors associated with the length of doctors’ appointments with patients. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 24.0. Among the patients, 319 (41.8%) were female and 688 (90.2%) lived in rural/suburban areas. This study revealed that the average length of medical consultations was 9.10 min. Additionally, our findings illustrated that doctors’ patient-centered communication behavior (β = 0.23, p < 0.001) appeared to be the strongest predictor of longer visit length.
