aThe PEPPI sample differed from the video sample by the number of cases. In the PEPPI sample, cases were missing due to non-response to the questionnaires. In the video sample, missing cases were due to withdrawal of general practices and failed or missing recordings. Because we focused on the patient and the PN, the spouses’ utterances are left out. bLow, no education or primary education; moderate, lower secondary education, (upper) secondary education or post-secondary non-tertiary education (including vocational education); and high, tertiary education (bachelor’s degree or higher).
