Reciprocal trust in health care relationships

Journal of Advanced Nursing, 1988

Reciprocal trust in health care relationships This paper examines the phenomenon of trust in health care relationships from a new perspective, that ofthe recipients ofcare for chronic illness. The authors argue that reciprocal trust is a necessary component of satisfying, effective health care relationships when the illness is of an ongoing nature. From the patient's perspective, reciprocal trust has a significant impact on the experience of being a receiver of health care and on the development of competency with illness management. Because of this, the authors claim that it is imperative for health care professionals to alter their traditional beliefs with regard to sick role and trust. With a new perspective, they may then develop the specific skills necessary to enact the caring aspect ofthe service they offer. The authors offer a number of suggestions for actualizing this reciprocal trust in clinical practice.

Various dimensions of trust in the health care system

Emergency Medical Service, 2020

Trust is one of the most important factors in building effective and long-lasting relationships in the entire healthcare sector. Trust becomes a valuable ally in situations of high risk and uncertainty as well as the increasing complexity of tasks that accompany the daily work of all medical professionals, especially paramedics, due to the nature of their work in the medical rescue system. Mutual trust is the basis of social capital thanks to which it is possible to achieve mutual benefits, easier to coordinate activities, create new quality and solutions through cooperation or strong ties. It is a kind of glue that binds various organizational and system links, thanks to which it is easier to plan and introduce necessary improvements and changes within individual medical units or the entire health care system. The high degree of trust increases the quality of clinical communication with the patient and the effectiveness of medical care and strengthens the employees’ motivation and ...

Trust as a factor for higher performance in healthcare: COVID 19, digitalization, and positive patient experiences

IJQHC Communications

COVID-19, digitalization, and positive patient experiences When people trust, they commit. When committed, they are efficient. When efficient, goals are attained. Hospitals that build a culture of trust with their employees, patients, and wider communities create long-term relationships and improve the competitive edge of their business. One of the most used definitions of trust defines the concept as confidence in the reliability and integrity of the exchange partner [1]. In their definition, Morgan and Hunt [1], associated trust with helpfulness, competency, responsibility, benevolence, honesty, and fairness as its vital components. Other researchers further define trust as a company's ability to respond to consumer needs in risky situations [2]. Companies that will put the interest and welfare of their consumers, employees, and wider community before their profits, particularly in times of healthcare crises, earn their trust and loyalty. A recent study published in the Harvard Business Review (HBR) [3] found that high-trust organizations have stronger performance due to higher employee productivity, a climate of

Analyzing patient trust through the lens of hospitals managers—The other side of the coin

PLOS ONE, 2021

Trust is an essential element in patient-physician relationships, yet trust is perceived differently among providers and customers exist. During January-February 2020 we examined the standpoints of medical managers and administrative directors from the private and public health hospitals on patient-physician trust, using a structured questionnaire. Thirty-six managers in public and private hospitals (24 from the public sector and 12 from the private sector) responded to the survey. Managers in the private sector rated trust higher in comparison to managers in the public sector, including trust related to patient satisfaction, professionalism and accountability. Managers from public hospitals gave higher scores to the need for patient education and shared responsibility prior to medical procedures. Administrative directors gave higher scores to various dimensions of trust and autonomy while medical managers gave higher scores to economic considerations. Trust is a fundamental compone...

Indicators of the dimensions of trust (and mistrust) in early primary care practice: A qualitative study

Research Square (Research Square), 2022

Background Trust occurs when a person feels they can be vulnerable to others because of the sincerity, benevolence, truthfulness and sometimes the competence they perceive. This project examines the various types of trust expressed in written re ections of developing healthcare clinicians. Our goal is to understand the roles trust plays in residents' self-examination and to offer insight from relationship science to inform the teaching and clinical work for better trust in healthcare. Methods We analyzed 767 re ective writings of 33 residents submitted anonymously, to identify explicit or implicit indicators attention to trust or relationship development. Two authors independently coded the entries based on inductively identi ed dimensions. Three authors developed a nal coding structure that was checked against the entries. These codes were sorted into nal dimensions. Results We identi ed 114 written re ections that contained one or more indicators of trust. These codes were compiled into ve code categories: Trust of self/trust as the basis for con dence in decision making; Trust of others in the medical community; Trust of the patient and its effect on clinician; Assessment of the trust of them exhibited by the patient; and Assessment of the effect of the patient's trust on the patient's behavior. Discussion Broadly, trust is both relationship-centered and institutionally situated. Trust is a process, built on reciprocity. There is tacit acknowledgement of the interplay among what the residents do is good for the patient, good for themselves, and good for the medical institution. A focus on moments in which trust is experienced or missed, as well as on types of trust, misses this complexity. Conclusion A greater awareness of how trust is present or absent could lead to a greater understanding and healthcare education for bene cial effects on clinicians' performance, personal and professional satisfaction, and improved quality in patients' interactions.

How Partnership Trust can Facilitate and Result from CBPR: An Assessment of Situational, Organizational, and Institutional Related Factors

2021

This study used secondary qualitative data analysis to determine the extent to which selected constructs of Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) promoted and supported the development of partnership trust among organizational and community stakeholders of a community-based health organization (CBHO). The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) identifies partnership trust as an integral factor that contributes to the optimal performance of public health research networks in their attempts to develop relationships with the communities and partners with whom they work. The present study was preceded by two studies which were informed by a modified version of Dietz and Den Hartog’s Multidimensional Measure of Trust Model (MMTM). The first study explored perceptions of partnership trust among the organization’s stakeholders and informed the development of a bilingual survey instrument (English and Spanish) to measure partnership trust as an outcome of CBPR (CBPR-PTS). The second stud...
