Abstract

Value co-creation can be defined as the joint benefit that is created by patients and medical service providers through the integration of their respective resources. Participation and interaction between doctors and patients can generate an outcome that benefits both sides. Relevant studies of value co-creation in the healthcare field are limited. This study established hypotheses to explore the association between doctor interaction behavior, patient participation in value co-creation, and patient satisfaction. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 637 patients (outpatients and inpatients) at a tertiary-level hospital in Guangzhou, China. The analysis result indicated that doctor interaction behavior could stimulate patient participation in value co-creation then increase patient satisfaction. The standardized total effect, direct effect, and indirect effect were 0.641 (95%CI: 0.055 ~ 0.067), 0.546 (95%CI: 0.044 ~ 0.059), and 0.095 (95%CI: 0.032 ~ 0.166), respectively. Patient participation in value co-creation mediated the relationship between doctor interaction behavior and patient satisfaction. Among the different dimensions of doctor interaction behavior, access, risk assessment and transparency dimensions were associated with positive patient participation in value co-creation. During the treatment process, doctor interaction and patient participation can get satisfying results.
