Abstract

This article presents a study which focused on the adult patient training and satisfaction during medical consultations in British Columbia. The study found that patients who received training scored significantly higher than patients who received no training. It argues that patient satisfaction is a subjective feeling and may not be a reliable measure for the effectiveness of training. The study suggested that training may have helped patients overcome anxiety.
