Mental health researchers, clinicians and clinical psychologists have long considered a good provider-patient relationship to be an important factor for positive treatment outcomes in a range of therapeutic settings. However, primary care physicians have been slow to consider how attachment theory may be used in the context of patient care in medical settings.
In the current article, John Bowlby's attachment theory and proposed attachment styles are proffered as a framework to better understand patient behaviors, patient communication styles with physicians and the physician-patient relationship in medical settings.
The authors recommend how primary care physicians and other health care providers can translate attachment theory to enhance practice behaviors and health-related communications in medical settings.
心理健康研究人员、临床医生和临床心理学家长期以来一直认为，在各种治疗环境中，良好的医患关系是积极治疗效果的重要因素。然而，初级保健医生一直不愿考虑依恋理论如何在医疗环境中的患者护理中使用。
在本文中，约翰·鲍尔比的依恋理论和提出的依恋风格被提出作为一个框架，以更好地理解患者的行为、患者与医生的沟通方式以及医疗环境中的医患关系。
作者建议初级保健医生和其他医疗保健提供者如何将依恋理论转化为实践行为，以加强医疗环境中的健康相关沟通。
