Patient Adherence to Health Care Regimens
Depression Treatment Enhances Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy
The Oxford Handbook of Health Communication, Behavior Change, and Treatment Adherence
Social Networks, Social Support, and Health-Related Behavior
It is well documented that belonging to a social network characterized by mutual support leads to better health outcomes, and there is great interest in understanding the mechanisms underlying this relationship. Social relationships may influence health outcomes by influencing the practice of health-related behaviors, including preventive and lifestyle behaviors, treatment adherence, and illness-management behaviors. This chapter reviews current …

Physician Communication and Patient Adherence to Treatment
BACKGROUND: Numerous empirical studies from various populations and settings link patient treatment adherence to physician-patient communication. Meta-analysis allows estimates of the overall effects both in correlational research and in experimental interventions involving the training of physicians' communication skills. OBJECTIVES: Calculation and analysis of "r effect sizes" and moderators of the relationship between physician's communication…
Development and Validation of the Physician-Patient Humor Rating Scale
The purpose of this study was the development of a rating instrument to assess the use of humor in physician- patient interactions, and to compare humor use as a function of patients' socioeconomic status. The 46-item Physician-Patient Humor Rating Scale (PPHRS) was used to rate 246 audiotaped primary care interactions. Four subscales were reliable and valid, demonstrating correlations with patient satisfaction and reports of physician humor, wit…
Gender Disparities in Physician-Patient Communication Among African American Patients in Primary Care
This study investigates the role of gender in physician-patient communication among African American patients in primary care. Patients (N = 137) aged 33 to 67 were nested within 79 southern California primary care physicians' practices. In 48 interactions (35%), the physician was female and/or a member of a minority group. The study directly assessed gender differences through audiotaped physician-patient interactions as well as by measuring pat…

What are the Differences between Happiness and Self-Esteem
Social Support and Patient Adherence to Medical Treatment
In a review of the literature from 1948 to 2001, 122 studies were found that correlated structural or functional social support with patient adherence to medical regimens. Meta-analyses establish significant average r-effect sizes between adherence and practical, emotional, and unidimensional social support; family cohesiveness and conflict; marital status; and living arrangement of adults. Substantive and methodological variables moderate these …
Variations in Patients’ Adherence to Medical Recommendations
BACKGROUND: The literature on patient adherence to treatment includes hundreds of empirical studies. A comprehensive examination of the findings requires the organization and quantification that is possible with meta-analysis. OBJECTIVES: The goals of this research are retrieval, compilation, and averaging of adherence rates in all published empirical studies from 1948 to 1998; assessment of variation according to sample characteristics, time per…
Physician Facilitation of Patient Involvement in Care
The authors surveyed 128 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (1) to evaluate the congruence between patients' and observers' perceptions of physicians' facilitation of patients' involvement in care and (2) to identify which physician behaviors were most closely related to patients' perceptions that their doctors encouraged them to be involved in their care. The patients reported the degree to which they perceived that their physicians encourag…
Patient Adherence and Medical Treatment Outcomes
BACKGROUND: Adherence is a factor in the outcome of medical treatment, but the strength and moderators of the adherence-outcome association have not been systematically assessed. OBJECTIVES: A quantitative review using meta-analysis of three decades of empirical research correlating adherence with objective measures of treatment outcomes. METHOD: Sixty-three studies assessing patient adherence and outcomes of medical treatment were found involvin…
Meta-Analysis
We describe the history and current status of the meta-analytic enterprise. The advantages and historical criticisms of meta-analysis are described, as are the basic steps in a meta-analysis and the role of effect sizes as chief coins of the meta-analytic realm. Advantages of the meta-analytic procedures include seeing the “landscape” of a research domain, keeping statistical significance in perspective, minimizing wasted data, becoming intimate …
Depression Is a Risk Factor for Noncompliance With Medical Treatment
BACKGROUND: Depression and anxiety are common in medical patients and are associated with diminished health status and increased health care utilization. This article presents a quantitative review and synthesis of studies correlating medical patients' treatment noncompliance with their anxiety and depression. METHODS: Research on patient adherence catalogued on MEDLINE and PsychLit from January 1, 1968, through March 31, 1998, was examined, and …
Interpersonal Expectations
This 1993 volume brings together critical analysis of the phenomenon called interpersonal expectation - a sub-area of social psychology that studies how the expectations of one person affects the behavior of another in an interactive setting. The book is divided into three major sections: the first examines real-world applications of research on interpersonal expectations, such as in the courtroom, classroom, and operating room; the second consid…
Development of an Instrument to Measure Job Satisfaction Among Dentists
Because of the rapid changes that have occurred in the dental profession, the Dentist Satisfaction Survey (DSS) was developed to assess both facet and overall job satisfaction among dentists. The DSS was administered to a sample of 558 California general dentists. The results suggest that the DSS is a practical, reliable, and valid measure of dentists' job satisfaction. Internal consistency reliability coefficients for all facet subscales and the…
A Short-Form Measure of Loneliness
The revised UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS-20) and a four-item short form (ULS-4) are widely used in personality research (Russell, Peplau, & Cutrona, 1980). In an exploratory factor analysis of the ULS-20, we identified eight items that loaded substantially on the first factor. These items were combined to form an alternative short-form measure, the ULS-8. The results of this study indicate that the ULS-8 is reliable, valid, and a better substitute …
Measuring Physicians?? Humanistic Attitudes, Values, and Behaviors
This paper describes the reliability and validity of 10 easily administered and scored self-report measures of physicians' humanistic attitudes, values, and behaviors. This research also provides evidence that evaluations of physicians' humanistic behavior made by their outpatients, and non-physician staff with whom they worked, and the faculty physicians supervising them on inpatient ward rotations were positively and significantly correlated wi…
Structural-equation models of current drug use
Validity of self-reports of alcohol and other drug use
Four methods (self-reported rating, self-reported intake, peer-reported rating, peer-reported intake) and multiple analytical criteria were employed to assess the construct validity of reports of three types of substance use (alcohol, marijuana, and cigarettes) in a study of 194 college students who were members of friendship pairs. The resulting multitrait-multimethod matrix was analyzed in the traditional fashion as well as with confirmatory fa…
Consumer Values and Subsequent Satisfaction Ratings of Physician Behavior
The role of respondents' values in their evaluation of and satisfaction with medical care was explored in four health education settings. Two hundred and twenty-seven nursing, medical, and health psychology students completed a forced-choice instrument designed to measure their value preferences for technical quality of care, psychosocial concern, courtesy, and mutual participation style of interacting in a medical visit. They subsequently watche…
Humor and Other Communication Preferences in Physician-Patient Encounters
In light of recent evidence suggesting the importance of communication in the health care setting, an instrument to measure communication style preferences was developed. This reliable and content-valid paper-and-pencil measure consisted of six scenarios depicting physician-patient interactions, each followed by four potential verbal responses from the physician. The four responses, representing four communications styles--humor, hostility, reass…

What are the Differences between Happiness and Self-Esteem
A Social‐Psychological Analysis of Physician‐Patient Rapport
The interpersonal relationship between physician and patient involves a highly charged affective component. As a result, patients' satisfaction with medical care, their compliance with treatment regimens, and the outcome of treatment tend to be substantially related to their physicians' ability to satisfy their socio‐emotional needs in the health care encounter. This critical aspect of health care is termed “rapport.” While it is not yet clear ex…
