Summary/Abstract: The physician-patient relationship plays an important role in health care processes. Trust in physicians has several benefits such as increasing satisfaction, compliance with treatment, continuity of patient care. The physician gives confidence to the patient; applying additional tests, eliminating inefficiencies caused by incomplete information disclosure by the patient and ıts provide effective clinical care. In this study, the issue of trust in the physician-patient relationship was discussed in three dimensions (the patient's trust in the health care behavior of the physician, physician decisions and the patient's behavior regarding the payment status). The study aims to develop a scale of trust communication in the patient-physician relationship. As a result of the analyses, a valid and reliable three-dimensional scale consisting of 19 items, which explained 56,505% of the total variance, was developed.
