Effects of Connection-Based Physician-Patient Relationships on Perceptions of Outcome: A Vignette Experiment

The
Chinese medical environment has a long history of physician-patient distrust. The current study investigated the effect of media reports
regarding medical treatment outcomes and connection-based medical treatment on
physician-patient trust. Connection-based medical treatment refers to
people using their connections to obtain better medical resources.

中国医疗领域中，医患信任缺失的现象由来已久。本研究探讨了与医疗结局相关的媒体报道，以及基于人脉的就医行为（connection-based medical treatment）对医患信任的影响。所谓基于人脉的就医行为，即指民众通过动用自身人脉资源以获取更优质的医疗资源。
