Full description:
We need patients to help develop a single-item scale to measure empathy in healthcare. This will involve taking part in one cognitive interview (where you are given a questionnaire and asked to talk through the mental process involved in answering each question). The interview can take place face-to-face at the University of Leicester or online via Microsoft Teams. It will last no longer than 30 minutes. With your permission, we will audio-record your interview. It will then be anonymised.
