Home Research Research Library Information from the Internet and the doctor-patient relationship: the patient perspective–a qualitative study Information from the Internet and the doctor-patient relationship: the patient perspective–a qualitative study 2007 Author(s) Stevenson, F A, Kerr, C, Murray, E, and Nazareth, I Topic(s) Achieving Health System Goals Volume BMC Family Practice Source BMC Family Practice BACKGROUND: Both doctors and patients may perceive the Internet as a potential challenge to existing therapeutic relationships. Here we examine patients’ views of the effect of the Internet on their relationship with doctors. METHODS: We ran 8 disease specific focus groups of between 2 and 8 respondents comprising adult patients with diabetes mellitus, ischaemic heart disease or hepatitis C. RESULTS: Data are presented on (i) the perceived benefits and (ii) limitations of the Internet in the context of the doctor-patient relationship, (iii) views on sharing information with doctors, and (iv) the potential of the Internet for the future. Information from the Internet was particularly valued in relation to experiential knowledge. CONCLUSION: Despite evidence of increasing patient activism in seeking information and the potential to challenge the position of the doctor, the accounts here do not in any way suggest a desire to disrupt the existing balance of power, or roles, in the consultation. Patients appear to see the Internet as an additional resource to support existing and valued relationships with their doctors. Doctors therefore need not feel challenged or threatened when patients bring health information from the Internet to a consultation, rather they should see it as an attempt on the part of the patient to work with the doctor and respond positively.
