IntroductionPatient’s confidence is very important in patient – doctor communication. It is very vital when we talk about efficient medical care because it can improve this care significently. It is particularly important for people who can not contact with it easily. Thanks to watching relations between patient and doctor we can get to know the way the patient judges references of the doctor during his professional activities.The aim of the thesisThe aim of these studies was to estimate the level of patient’s confidence after the last medical appointment. The studies were made with the help of Anderson and Dedrick scale. ResultsPatients were satisfied after the appointment when during the examination they could see a telephone and a computer on the desk, medical equipment and other medical things. The doctor was closer than 61 cm from them and patients could not see any physical barriers. During the examination the position of the doctor was open, he used gestures and he was sitting face to face to the patient (angle 180° or 90°). His eyes were at the same level as patient’s eyes. ConclusionsThe ability of proper communication with the patient is a very important element of medical care. However, it is often underestimated. But efficiency of therapy and efficiency of diagnostics depend on these factors.

Aim The specifics of progressive course of the disease leads to the development of functional dependence which contributes to later disability, significantly influences quality of life. The goal of the research described here was to determine the relationship between the functioning of patients treated with hemodialysis and selected socio-demographic factors and quality of life. Material and methods The research included 100 patients in the range 20-90 years of age who were being treated with hemodialysis in a renal replacement facility in the area of western Poland. The average age for the entire group was 59.5±14.4 years of age. The average time spent on dialysis for the group was 44.7 ± 48.6 months. In order to evaluate patients’ functional status the Barthel Index, Lawton’s IADL and the Karnofsky Performance Status Scale were used. In order to evaluate QOL, the multidimensional instrument – the Health Questionnaire Specific for ESRD was used. Results Using the Spearman coefficient correlation moderate and strong correlations were found between particular sub-scales Health Questionnaire Specific for ESRD and functional capacity. There was no statistically significant dependence between the length of renal-replacement therapy and particular scales on the Parfrey et al Health Questionnaire as well as the functional capacity of patients. Conclusions Demographic variables, especially sex and age, and to a lesser degree educational level and marital status have an influence on the results of the Health Questionnaire Specific for ESRD. Activity levels had a signficant influence on the results in the area of QOL
