Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome is the change in psychological stress levels of patients and physicians before and after each interview, evaluated by the change in mood and emotional state measured using the Profile of Mood States, Second Edition (POMS2), and compared between the physician-mediated and avatar-mediated interview conditions. | — |
