Summary: | A good physician-patient relationship leads to improved health outcomes. This relationship has been studied primarily through patients’ perspectives, and physicians’ sentiments toward patients are frequently overlooked. Forty-four physicians and 1053 unique adult patients were recruited through convenience sampling from 3 dermatologic centers in Singapore between October 2021 and September 2022. For each patient, physicians completed the Difficult Doctor-Patient Relationship Questionnaire (DDPRQ-10), which was used to assess their frustration, enthusiasm, and ease of interaction with the patient. Each patient also independently completed a separate questionnaire. |
