Abstract: 

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Doctors' communication abilities are associated with outcomes of medical care such as satisfaction and compliance. Two styles of practice are observed: patient- centered and doctor- centered. We designed this investigation to compare the opinions of patients and clinical faculty members of Babol University of medical sciences on patient-centeredness in doctor-patient relationship. METHODS: This cross sectional study was performed in the teaching hospitals of Babol University of Medical Sciences, Babol, Iran in academic year of 2008-2009. We selected randomly 72 patients and 72 clinical faculty members. Our survey utilized PPOS (Patient-Practitioner Orientation Scale), a validated instrument with total score ranging from patient-centered (6 scores) to doctor-centered (1 score).FINDINGS: Mean caring score of faculty members was 3.72±0.48, sharing was 3.10±0.62 and total was 3.41±0.49. Mean caring score of patients was 3.87±0.53, sharing was 3.45±0.94 and total was 3.66±0.57. Faculty members and patients showed significant differences in sharing (p=0.006) and total scores (p=0.008) but not in caring (p=0.068).CONCLUSION: Totally, patients were more patient centered. Our data suggest that staff development programs should be organized for clinical faculty members to achieve social needs for change in doctor-patient relationship.

There was a significant difference between two groups of students according to marital status (p<0.000) accommodation situation (p =0.009), acceptance quota (p=0.01), interest in the course (p<0.000) and the educational consultation (p= 0.02). There was the greatest relationship between the diploma average and the dropping out (p<0.000). CONCLUSION: According to the results of this study, numerous factors such as marriage and acceptance quota can affect the student dropout. Drop out prevention and hazardous consequences of dropping out require careful recognition of these factors and effective planning.
