Consumers, clinicians and confidentiality
This paper represents a comparative study of the attitudes of internists, people under the regular care of internists and those who go to internists only for routine check-ups toward confidentiality in the doctor-patient relationship. The role played by knowledge and attitudes toward confidentiality in the seeking of health care is also assessed. The samples consisted of 131 internists, 76 patients and 76 non-patients of internists. The findings and their implications are discussed.
