Abstract:

Background: Good patient-physician relationship is a factor that can enhance the efficiency of medical services. This study aimed to investigate the patient-physician relationship in specialized outpatient clinics affiliated with Ahvaz University of Medical Sciences. Methods: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was performed on ۲۷۵ patients who visited specialized outpatient clinics of Ahvaz University of Medical Sciences in ۲۰۱۹. The data in this study were collected using the Patient-Doctor Relationship Questionnaire (PDRQ-۹). Data were analyzed using SPSS۲۲ software with the Pearson correlation coefficient and independent samples t-test. Results: The patients’ satisfaction with their relationship with the physician was reported to be moderate (۳۳.۹۲±۶.۸۰ out of ۴۵). The highest score (۴.۱۳±۰.۸۳ out of ۵) was related to the item “I trust my doctor” and the lowest score (۲.۸۴±۱.۱۶ out of ۵) was related to the item “I find my doctor easily accessible”. There was a significant and negative relation between the patients’ satisfaction with the relationship with the physician and wait time and a significant and positive relation with the duration of the visit. The mean visit and the mean wait time were ۱۳.۷±۱۱.۱ and ۹۰±۵۷.۸ minutes, respectively. Besides, the patients’ satisfaction with communication with physicians had a significant relation with the type of clinic (P = ۰.۰۳۲). Conclusion: To improve the patient-physician relationship, it is essential to take some management measures to reduce patients’ wait time, comply with standard visit time, improve environmental conditions, and empower physicians to enhance communication skills.
