Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this "before-after" prospective multicenter study is to assess the impact of six Patient Information Leaflets (PILs) on Doctor Patient Communication scale (DPC) and adherence scale for common acute illnesses in emergency ward.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Assessing the impact of six Patient Information Leaflets (PILs) on Doctor Patient Communication scale (DPC) and adherence scale for common acute illnesses (infectious colitis, diverticulitis, pneumonitis, prostatitis, pyelonephritis , ankle sprain) in two emergency ward.

For "before" study without intervention : usual consultation without PIL .

For "after study" with intervention : the patient is given a PIL related to his disease during the consultation.

Data collection will take place the same day as the consultation by self-administered questionnaire for DPC scale and also between 7 to 10 days after the consultation by phone survey for DPC scale and adherence scale.
