The communication between doctor and patient is highly relevant as it can influence patients’ health outcomes, their adoption of treatment, their decision to continue or discontinue it, and their satisfaction with the care provided by physicians. On the other hand, defensive medicine encompasses medical attention that does not increase patient benefits and results in the overuse of medical services, driven by the physician’s fear of being sanctioned and/or preventing litigation risks. This research aimed to explore the relationship between the lack of training in communication skills among physicians and defensive medicine. The design was non-experimental, correlational; using a logical deductive method and a quantitative approach. The population studied consisted of physicians from Mexico and Peru, with a sample of 350 professionals (175 from each country). It reaffirmed the importa...

Actualmente, hay una tendencia de aumento de uso de canales de Comunicación Interna en las empresas para asegurar una comunicación efectiva y aumentar el desempeño de sus colaboradores. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo identificar la preferencia en canales de comunicación interna (CI) de los colaboradores operativos de una empresa industrial, en el Perú, para sentirse comprometidos con la misma. Para lograr el objetivo, se planea dividir los canales usados por la organización en dos grupos: digitales y humanos, para detallar las dimensiones de CI valoradas por los participantes según cada canal y describir la relación de cada uno con los distintos componentes de engagement valorados por los colaboradores. La metodología de la investigación se desarrollará bajo el enfoque cualitativo, con un diseño de teoría fundamentada; la técnica de recolección de datos será la e...

La comunicación entre médico y paciente es muy relevante, pues puede influir en los resultados de salud de los pacientes, en la adopción del tratamiento por parte del enfermo, en su decisión por continuar o dejarlo, y en la satisfacción con la atención brindada por los médicos. Por otro lado, la medicina defensiva es toda atención médica que no aumenta los beneficios para el paciente y se traduce en sobreuso de servicios médicos, motivado por el temor del médico a ser sancionado o prevenir riesgos de litigios. Esta investigación planteó explorar la relación entre la ausencia de formación en habilidades comunicacionales en los médicos y la medicina defensiva. El diseño fue no experimental, correlacional, con un método lógico deductivo y un enfoque cuantitativo. La población fueron médicos de México y de Perú, y la muestra estuvo conformada por 350 profesionales (175...
