Abstract

Purpose: The interpersonal relationships between physicians and patients in Bangladesh are examined in this research. Patients may get better care as a result of their physician-patient relationship. Method: Quantitative methods were used to collect primary data for this research during June and July 2022. For this research, 100 patients are surveyed about their experiences at Square Hospital Ltd. in Dhaka City. Each questionnaire in a survey has a certain format. A 16-item structured questionnaire was customized in the Bangladesh context. Result: The findings present that out of the three hypotheses tested, two are not supported (Visit Duration→Interpersonal Relationship and Attention→ Interpersonal Relationship), and one is supported (Communication→ Interpersonal Relationship) from the patient's point of view in Bangladesh. Conclusion: The physician-patient relationship is substantially poor from the patients' viewpoints in Bangladesh.
