  Relationship betweeh Health Locus of Control, Memory, and Physician – Patient relationship With Satisfaction of Treatment in Type II Diabetic Patients     Zahednezhad H [1] , Poursharifi H [2] , Babapour J [3]    Received: 25 April, 2010 Accepted: 27 July, 2010   Abstract  Background & Aims: One of the factors in evaluating health care quality is assessing treatment satisfaction of patient with type Π diabetes. This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between health locus of control, memory and physician-patient relationship with satisfaction of treatment. Materials & Methods: In this correlation study 115 patients with type Π diabetes, who referred to Tabriz Sina hospital in June-August 2010, were included. The samples filled the following five questionnaires: demographic questions, patient-doctor relationship questionnaire (PDRQ-19), patient satisfaction questionnaire (PSQ-18), prospective and retrospective memory questionnaire (PRMQ), and multidimensional health locus of control (MHLC ). The data were analyzed through Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis methods.  Results: The results indicated that there was a positive significant relation between external health locus of control and desired physician- patient relationship with satisfaction of treatment in patients with type Π diabetes. However, the findings indicated no significant association between memory with satisfaction of treatment. In addition, physician-patient relationship had a significant power for prediction of treatment satisfaction.  Conclusion: These results support the idea that patients with type Π diabetes who had external health locus of control and desired relationship with their physicians were more satisfied with the treatment. Finally, desired physician- patient relationship potentially leads to better satisfaction of the treatment. Keywords: Type Π diabetes , Health locus of control, Memory, Physician-patient relationship, Treatment satisfaction.     Address : Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran, Tel : +989148667231   Email : zahednezhad@yahoo.com   [1] Master in Psychology, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran (Corresponding Author)  [2] Assistant Professor of Health Psychology, Tabriz University, Tabriz, Iran  [3] Associate Professor of Health Psychology, Tabriz University, Tabriz, Iran
