Despite its importance there is a paucity of information in Ethiopia. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title><jats:p> This study aimed to assess patient trust in HCPs at the Jimma medical center (JMC), Ethiopia. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p> An institution based cross-sectional study was conducted among 404 participants from April 16 to June 29, 2020. Study participants were selected using a systematic sampling technique. Data were collected on socio-demographic characteristics, health related and clinical characteristics, and patient trust in the patient\u2013HCP. The collected data were entered into Epi-Data version 3.1 then exported to SPSS version 23.0 for analysis. Variables with a p-value &lt;.25 on bivariate analysis were considered as candidates for multivariate analyses. Statistical significance on multivariable analysis was declared with p-value\u2009&lt;\u2009.05 and 95% confidence intervals (CI). <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> In our study, 38% of patients had low trust. Among the 397 study participants, 46.6% were female. One-third (33.2%) of respondents had no formal education. Patients who live alone [(AOR) 4.30(1.98\u20139.33), p\u2009=\u2009.00], and self-reported as a poor current health status [(AOR) 2.32(1.39\u20133.88), p\u2009=\u2009.002] were positively associated to patient trust in patient\u2013HCP. On the other hand, duration of disease more than one year after diagnosis [(AOR) 0.48 (0.25\u20130.92), p\u2009=\u2009.028], comorbid disease [(AOR) 0.39(0.22\u22120.67), p\u2009=\u2009.001], and impaired physical mobility [(AOR) 0.27(0.16\u22120.45), p\u2009=\u2009.001] were negatively associated with patient trust in HCP. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p> This study pinpoints that 38 out of 100 patients had low trust. Living alone and having poor self-reported current health status increased low trust. This calls for HCPs to rebuild trust and give due attention to patients living alone and with poor health status. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/23779608231167810","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,5]],"date-time":"2023-04-05T06:51:00Z","timestamp":1680677460000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Patients\u2019 Trust in Health Care Providers Among Hospitalized Patients, Jimma, South West Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7173-3242","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kenenisa","family":"Tegenu Lemma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Institute of Health, Jimma University, Jimma, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Desalew","family":"Tilahun Beyene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Institute of Health, Jimma University, Jimma, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tsiyon","family":"Mekoya Jemaneh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Institute of Health, Jimma University, Jimma, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3059-085X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eneyew","family":"Melkamu Andualem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Midwifery, Institute of Health, Jimma University, Jimma, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gemechu","family":"Atomsa Hunde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Institute of Health, Jimma University, Jimma, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-23779608231167810","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/sres.2766"},{"key":"bibr2-23779608231167810","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/nur.21484"},{"key":"bibr3-23779608231167810","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/intqhc\/mzt063"},{"key":"bibr4-23779608231167810","unstructured":"Brown K.
