Abstract/Notes

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between patients’ sociodemographic factors (age, sex, ethnicity, and education background) and dimensions of patients’ trust in chiropractic doctors in Malaysia.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the International Medical University Healthcare Chiropractic Center with a total of 302 respondents. Self-administered questionnaires were enclosed in an envelope and passed to participants by the researchers. Descriptive statistics are presented in tables and figures. Each dimension of the patients’ trust was compared against the sociodemographic factors. The variables included were sex, age, ethnicity, and education background, along with their dimensions of trust.

Results: There were 106 male respondents (35.1%) and 196 female respondents (64.9%) between 21 and 40 years of age. In all of the trust dimensions, education background was the only statistically significant variable (P < .05).

Conclusion: Several sociodemographic factors were associated highly with the trust dimensions explored. Patients’ education background was the only sociodemographic factor to show a statistically significant relationship to all 10 trust dimensions. Sex, age, and ethnicity showed significant associations with some of the trust dimensions explored in this study.
