Abstract:
Strengthening the compliance is conductive to the quality improvement of clinical trial of acupuncture and moxibustion. In terms to planning behavior and influencing factors of loyalty, the questionnaire was conducted among 200 participants on the compliance of clinical trial on knee osteoarthritis treated with acupuncture. The results showed that the subjective norms and perceptual behavior control of subjects affected their compliance in the trial. Medical service compensation became the primary factor of the subjects' loyalty, which further affected their compliance in the trial. It is suggested that the compliance should be managed according to the characteristics of different clinical researches, and the feasible medical service compensation scheme should be designed in advance by actively focusing on the subjects' features.
