While ethical principles taught to health professionals focus on patient autonomy as the object of respect for persons, limited studies explore patients\u2019 views of respect. The purpose of this study was to explore the perspectives of a multiculturally diverse group of low-income women living with HIV (WLH) regarding their experience of respect from their medical physicians.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We analyzed 57 semi-structured interviews conducted at HIV case management sites in South Florida as part of a larger qualitative study that explored practices facilitating retention and adherence in care. Women were eligible to participate if they identified as African American (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200928), Hispanic\/Latina (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200922), or Haitian (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20097). They were asked to describe instances when they were treated with respect by their medical physicians. Interviews were conducted by a fluent research interviewer in either English, Spanish, or Haitian Creole, depending on participant\u2019s language preference. Transcripts were translated, back-translated and reviewed in entirety for any statements or comments about \u201crespect.\u201d After independent coding by 3 investigators, we used a consensual thematic analysis approach to determine themes.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Results from this study grouped into two overarching classifications: respect manifested in physicians\u2019 orientation towards the patient (i.e., interpersonal behaviors in interactions) and respect in medical professionalism (i.e., clinic procedures and practices). Four main themes emerged regarding respect in provider\u2019s orientation towards the patient: being treated as a person, treated as an equal, treated without blame or prejudice, and treated with concern\/emotional support. Two main themes emerged regarding respect as evidenced in medical professionalism: physician availability and considerations of privacy.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Findings suggest a more robust conception of what \u2018respect for persons\u2019 entails in medical ethics for a diverse group of low-income women living with HIV. Findings have implications for broadening areas of focus of future bioethics education, training, and research to include components of interpersonal relationship development, communication, and clinic procedures. We suggest these areas of training may increase respectful medical care experiences and potentially serve to influence persistent and known social and structural determinants of health through provider interactions and health care delivery.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12910-024-01015-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,27]],"date-time":"2024-03-27T09:01:52Z","timestamp":1711530112000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["How patients experience respect in healthcare: findings from a qualitative study among multicultural women living with HIV"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Sofia B.","family":"Fernandez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alya","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary Catherine","family":"Beach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melissa K.","family":"Ward","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michele","family":"Jean-Gilles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gladys","family":"Iba\u00f1ez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Ladner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary Jo","family":"Trepka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"1015_CR1","volume-title":"Principles of Biomedical Ethics \/ Tom L.
