Physicians' attitudes towards patients' rights legislation.
Patients' rights laws, bills and charters aim at delineating the patient-physician relationship in regard to consent to medical treatment, confidentiality and related issues. The need to shape such an intimate relationship by way of legislation seems anomalous to some, but imperative to others. We present for the first time an insight into Israeli physicians' attitudes towards Israel's patients' rights laws, in a changing medical and socio-legal environment. The research results suggest that physicians are reluctant to participate in the implementation of such laws, demonstrated by the level of their misunderstanding of the law's norms and regulations, and subjective attitudes and perceptions. In order to ensure the medical community's participation in augmenting patients' rights, efforts should focus on improved legal and ethical education, enhanced cooperation of professional associations and joint action with legislators to assure a productive composition of these important acts.
