“…Consistent with the results of other studies that have found that physicians' professional skills and interpersonal communication skills are critical to building and maintaining patient trust. 32,33 In particular, physicians' respect for patient privacy have been shown to be key factors influencing patient trust. 34 These findings emphasize the dual role of the hospital environment and the individual physician's skills in improving the quality of healthcare delivery and patient satisfaction.…”

Background: Trust is a major factor affecting patient-physician relationship and healthcare quality. However, there has been a lack of comprehensive study on the extent of and major factors affecting patient trust in healthcare providers of China, the world's largest developing country. The objective of this study is to elucidate the current status of outpatient trust in physicians in China and its influencing factors, providing empirical evidence to enhance doctor-patient trust and improve doctor-patient relationships. Methods: Between December 2017 and January 2018, 28,760 patients seeking care at the outpatient departments of 136 tertiary hospitals were interviewed, where they were asked to rate their trust in physicians. We applied a multilevel logistic regression model to explore the association between patients trust and characteristics of hospitals, physicians and patient characteristics. We conducted a series of sensitivity analysis to check the robustness of our findings. Results: Among 28,760 participants included in this study, 91.54% expressed trust in their physicians, while 7.52% showed moderate trust. Only 0.94% expressly distrusted or strongly distrusted their physicians. Outpatients of hospitals with convenient payment, volunteer guidance and enough seats available in the rest and waiting area showed higher levels of trust. Physicians who had a senior title, showed patience and protection of the patient's privacy were more likely to be trusted by their patients in the outpatient setting. Compared to their female counterparts, male outpatients showed a higher degree of trust. Conclusion: While this study highlights an overall high level of Trust in physicians (TIP) among patients in China's tertiary hospitals, it is found to vary with patient demographic factors as well as provider's attributes. Hospitals with a more keen sense of protecting patients privacy and better meeting patients' need for efficient and caring service provision process appeared to yield a higher level of trust.

Background and Purpose: Fear and anxiety related to dental and healthcare procedures are common among young adults and can negatively impact dental and healthcare consumership, resulting in poor health outcomes. Purpose: This cross-sectional study aimed to examine young adults’ experiences of fear related to dental and healthcare procedures and the potential relationships between the two forms of fear experiences and demographic factors. Methods: Young adults (252) were recruited from a large public university and completed a survey about their dental and healthcare fear/anxiety as well as their confidence in healthcare professionals. Descriptive and correlational analyses were completed to describe the experiences of young adults and the relationships between variables. Results: Ten types of fear/anxiety were identified related to healthcare procedures, with the most common being needles and pain. Nine fears/anxieties were identified for dental visits, of which pain and sensory experiences other than pain were most common. Female participants were significantly more likely to report fear/anxiety related to dental procedures, and there was a statistically significant relationship between fear/anxiety related to healthcare procedures and that related to dental procedures. There was also a significant negative relationship found between confidence in healthcare providers and fear/anxiety related to healthcare procedures. Conclusions: Young adults experience fear/anxiety related to healthcare and dentist visits, and this fear/anxiety can impact their confidence in healthcare providers, such as primary physicians. The findings of the current study suggest primary care providers should be aware of potential fears/anxieties and offer patients appropriate supports.
