Patient Education and Counselling, 08/31/09
Berendsen AJ et al. – Many patients prefer the GP advising them regarding which hospital or specialist they should be referred to: a quarter of the patients preferred that the GP decided for them. Patients with a curable condition and patients aged between 25 and 65, highly educated and with stable personal characteristics as measured by a purposive scale, more often wished to use information from internet or newspapers to make a decision. The amount of information that was needed on illness or treatment varied greatly. Young people, older people, and those with less stable personal characteristics more often desired only practical information. In spite of making performance data of different health care institutions public, only a limited number of patients want to use this information on a limited number of health problems.
