Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Listening research focuses on the benefits of good-quality listening rather than the detrimental effects of poor-quality listening on the speaker. The aim of this critical review was to identify what is known about the effects of poor-quality listening in the fields of communication, the workplace, and health care, and to synthesize this knowledge to inform research and practice in health care. Based on the evidence, a multidimensional framework is proposed encompassing clients' affective, cognitive, and behavioral reactions to poor-quality listening in health care, along with relational outcomes concerning the client and healthcare professional. This framework proposes three mechanisms underlying client reactions to perceived poor-quality listening-reflection, engagement, and motivation. When healthcare clients feel not listened to, this can have serious, wide-ranging, and cascading effects on their emotions, thoughts, and actions, leading to poor collaboration, poor-quality relationships with healthcare providers, and a lack of person-centered care.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
