CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF PATIENT/PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP IN A UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

Abstract

This paper analyses critically the point of view of the patient and the dietitian, as well as the dietotherapic interview in a University Hospital, as partof a wider study thet comprises both the qualitative and the quantitative evaluation of such treatment. The study surveyed forty patients, two dietitians and four students, and forty dietotherapic interviews were attended. Finally, about the dietotherapic interview, it must be said that it doesn't accomplish its functions, fundamentally because the methods utilized in the relationship between patient and professional are inadequate for the kind of people attended.
