Study: Patient respect results in adherence to treatment
Physician Practice Advisor, September 7, 2005
A Johns Hopkins study of 5,514 Americans found that those who said they were treated with respect during their last medical experience were likely to be more satisfied and adhere more closely to therapy than those who said they were not.
Seventy-six percent of those surveyed said they were treated with a "great deal" of respect during their last medical encounter. Seventy-seven percent reported being involved in medical decisions to their desired extent.
The study's results are published in the July/August issue of the Annals of Family Medicine.
