“…On the other hand, patients with fibromyalgia in ER were those who reported the lowest levels of trust. This could be explained by the long care path usually followed by these patients both in the diagnosis and treatment of their disease, and the poor understanding they perceive in the area of care, both in Spain and internationally (23) . An interesting aspect was the differential impact by sex that training had on the previous preparation and communication with health professionals during consultations.…”

“…El estudio de Homma, Ishikawa y Kiuchi (2016) refleja que la frustración que experimentan los médicos ante la enfermedad se relaciona con sus propias creencias sobre ella, favoreciendo el rechazo del paciente incluso antes de haberse producido el contacto. Colmenares Roa et al (2016) sugieren que el rechazo y la actitud despectiva del profesional sanitario hacia los pacientes se deben al desconocimiento de cómo abordar el problema. En este mismo estudio, los médicos entrevistados describen a los pacientes con FM como complicados desde el punto de vista de la interacción, con un tratamiento de difícil abordaje, por lo que se niegan a verles debido a que piensan que la enfermedad es psicológica, lo que coincide con el estudio de Cooper y Gilbert (2017).…”
