However, marked differences were observed between specific PPOS items suggesting these preferences vary across clinical situations. A significant level of difference (p&lt;0.001) was found between audiologists\u2019 preferences for patient-centredness in three countries. Audiologists in Portugal had a greater preference for patient-centredness when compared to audiologists in India and Iran, although no significant differences were found in terms of age and duration of experience among these sample populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There are differences and similarities in audiologists\u2019 preferences for patient-centredness among countries.
