Isi artikel

This study is of interest to the ESP field as it is concerned with a description of consultations conducted in English between doctors and patients of various nationalities in the hospitals of Abu Dhabi, UAE, (United Arab Emirates), specifically with the extent to which such consultations are doctor-centred. The consultations were analysed using a quantitative analysis to measure a variety of features such as open and closed questions, medical questions, psychological questions, social-history questions, conversational questions and checkingunderstanding questions drawn from validated (though often contradictory) traditions of research centred on previous approaches to the notion of doctor-centredness. The principal finding was that the doctors in this study employ a doctor-centred consultation style. They tend to ask closed questions; they seldom ask about social and psychological history, or check understanding of their patients.
