ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the importance and necessity of patient public education, and to explore its contents and approaches. Methods From September to October 2017, 2224 medical workers and patients from 9 tertiary public hospitals among southern, central and northern Jiangsu province were surveyed with the self-designed questionnaire. Demographic data of respondents and their views related to patient public education topics were surveyed. Descriptive analysis and chi-square test were used to analyze the data. Results Some patients were irrational in their cognition of patients′ obligations, risk of disease, expectation of curative effect, and responsibility for medical malpractice. 19. 9% of them held that"patients were vulnerable groups who should not carry much obligations". Some of them were found with obvious negative emotions and unhealthy psychological characteristics. 54. 4% of the medical workers held that"psychological conflicts among the various roles of patients lead to various behavioral contradictions", which obviously affected their medical work. Conclusions Patient public education can be an important approach to avoid irrationality of patients when they see doctors.
