“…The association between gender and patients' preference for involvement in the decision-making process is variable (Garfield et al, 2007). Females are more interested than males in having a participatory role as well as more satisfied with the care provided (Arora & McHorney, 2000;Carlin et al, 2012;Levinson, Kao, Kuby, & Thisted, 2005;Nease Jr, 1995). Other studies show no significant association between gender and patients' preference for decision sharing with physicians (Florin, Ehrenberg, & Ehnfors, 2006;McKinstry, 2000).…”

“…Researchers have shown that as patients age, they become less interested in participating in the health decision-making as well as less inclined to engage in effective communication with their physicians (Garfield, Smith, Francis, & Chalmers, 2007; Morgan, 2003;Robinson et al, 2006;Schneider et al, 2006). Paradoxically, one study found that older patients are more likely to be satisfied with the care provided (Carlin, Christianson, Keenan, & Finch, 2012). Patients of high educational and social status were more likely to engage in the consultation by asking questions and inquiring about other treatment options in comparison to patients with a lower socioeconomic status (Garfield et al, 2007;Morgan, 2003;Schneider et al, 2006).…”

However, highly educated patients were also found to be less satisfied with care compared to patients with a lower educational status (Carlin et al, 2012).

“…The role of patients' insurance status was not well described, however, patients enrolled in an HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) were found to request more information from their physicians than patients with a different type of insurance coverage (Strull et al, 1984). In another study, insured patients were more likely to be satisfied with the provided care than those who are uninsured (Carlin et al, 2012).…”

“…Patients with acute illnesses have been found to seek more information about their medical conditions from their physicians, but at the same time preferred a passive role when it comes to decision making (Wilkinson, Khanji, Cotter, Dunne, & O'keeffe, 2008). Patients with more chronic illnesses report higher satisfaction with the health care provided and their physicians' communication style (Carlin et al, 2012). Further, patients vary in their preference for the decision sharing based on their medical condition.…”

The Value of Online Medication Rating Systems to Older Adults and Their Association with Self-Reported Outcomes

The Internet is a powerful and very popular vehicle for distributing judgment-free health information to patients. Multiple studies have examined the role of online health information as well as physician-rating websites in health care. Studies have examined the value of online drug information for patients and the value of the online drug information for patients. However, no study has examined the usefulness or value of online medication rating websites in facilitating physician-patient communication or participant-reported outcomes. In this study, the value of online medication rating websites to older adults in facilitating communication with their physicians using a newly developed tool was assessed. Additionally, the participant-reported outcomes of quality of life, satisfaction with physician communication, beliefs about medications, and medication adherence plus the relationship between the older adults' actual ratings of their antihypertensive medications and their self-reported outcomes were examined. Older adults with poor quality of life were more likely to view the online medication rating websites more favorably than participants who enjoy good quality of life. Participants who liked to share health decisions with their physicians were also more likely to have favorable views of the online websites. In addition, older adults with hypertension, who highly rated their antihypertensive medication regimens, were more likely to have good physical quality of life, high satisfaction with physician communication, positive beliefs about medications, and high medication adherence. Older adults with poor quality of life were more likely to be unsatisfied with their antihypertensive medications, have multiple comorbidities, limited health literacy, low satisfaction with their communication with their physicians, take multiple medications, and were more likely to view online medication rating websites favorably compared to their counterparts with good quality of life. Online medication rating websites may play an important role in enhancing physician-patient communication particularly among this segment of the patient population. vii 3.5.6 Older Adults' Evaluation of Their Antihypertensive Medication Regimens .

Global crises have forced the healthcare sector to advance the way they practise. Patient empowerment has emerged as one of the solutions to face these challenges. Nevertheless, patient empowerment is still lacking for accepted conditions, making it difficult to effectively promote within the healthcare system. This study aims to systemically map the concept of patient empowerment using principles of systems thinking with the Boardman Soft Systems Methodology that enables a graphical visualization (i.e., Systemigrams). This includes levels of patient empowerment and their relationship with other concepts such as health literacy, health providers, self‐management, patient characteristics and healthcare outcomes. This study contributes to the literature by (a) articulating a set of conditions to enable patient empowerment, (b) identifying the key concept that might influence the level of patient empowerment and (c) providing guidance and propositions for future research that can promote and further study patient empowerment.

There are scarce reports in the literature on factors affecting the assessment of the quality of care for patients with chronic respiratory diseases. Such information is relevant in the accreditation process on implementing the healthcare. The study group consisted of 133 adult patients with chronic respiratory diseases and 125 adult patients with chronic non-respiratory diseases. In the present study, the level of satisfaction from healthcare provided by the primary healthcare unit, disease acceptance, quality of life, health behaviors, and met needs were examined, as well as associations between variables with the use of correspondence analysis. The results are that in patients with chronic respiratory diseases an increase in satisfaction depends on the improvement of well-being in the mental sphere. The lack of problems with obtaining a referral to a specialist and a higher level of fulfilled needs also have a positive effect. Additionally, low levels of satisfaction should be expected in those patients with chronic respiratory diseases who wait for an appointment in front of the office for a long time, report problems with obtaining a referral to additional tests, present a low level of health behaviors, and have a low index of benefits.
