Abstract

Abstract : The attitude of health workers toward their patients is an important issue that could help identify the nature of a patient's illness. In this study, the author discusses the unacceptable attitude of some health workers toward patients in health centers in Bahrain. She selected the subject to reflect her years of service in health centers in Bahrain. The author believes that this study will be of great help in attempts to improve primary health care in Bahrain. In discussing the problem of the unacceptable attitude of some health workers toward patients in health centers in Bahrain, the author used literary reviews, health statistics from Bahrain, and the questionnaire circulated by Ghafar in health centers. In this study, the author examines four key factors: the overwhelming number of patients at health centers, the lack of efficient training in communication skills, the role of motivation in improving the standards of primary health care, and the importance of supervisory field visits The author has reached various conclusions in answering the four main questions of the study. She has also made some recommendations that could be important in helping to change the attitude of some health workers from an unacceptable attitude to an acceptable attitude toward patients in health centers in the State of Bahrain
