Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
There are three measurement points: before the training (t0), after the training (t1) and three months after the training (t2). Primary, proximal outcomes are participants’ communication competence (CoCo-questionnaire, Farin et al., 2014 and an adaption to the communication situations relevant in the project) and patient activation (PAM13-D, Hibbard et al., 2005, and an adaption to the communication situations relevant in the project). Moreover, we evaluate the acceptability, usefulness and achievement of objectives of the training at the end of the training (t1) with the COHEP-questionnaire (Farin et al., 2013) and newly developed questions.
Secondary Outcome Measures
