Öz

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE In this study, it was aimed to determine the level of trust in the physician of the patients who applied to the dental clinic and to reveal whether this level shows a statistically significant difference according to socio-demographic and other characteristics. MATERIALS AND METHODS This research consists of patients who applied to the dentistry clinic in Antalya province between May 25 and June 10, 2022. No sampling selection was made in the study, and data were collected from 311 patients in this context. RESULTS According to the results of the analysis, it was found that the trust level of the patients to the physician was high (3.78 / 5.00). The level of trust in the physician and the ownership status of the health board were statistically significant but there was no statistically significant difference according to other characteristics (age, gender, income and employment status) except income status (p <0.05). CONCLUSION Patients have a high level of trust in the physician. A high level of trust in the physician is thought to be important in the context of patients' active participation in the treatment process.
