The patient-physician relationship can be understood from the two aspects of patients′ trust and patients′ satisfaction.Compared with patients′ satisfaction,dimensions and attributes of patients′ trust indicate to better match with the measuring capacity of patients.Thus,the evaluation of the quality of medical services based on patients′ trust is justified theoretically.The existing literatures assert that the research on patients′ trust could help understand patient-physician relationship and eventually improve the quality of medical services.The conceptual model in this paper entails the concept,dimensions and attributes of patients′ trust.Also,this paper points out its effect on the measurement of the quality of medical services through the comparison of patients′ trust and patients′ satisfaction.
