How do past experiences influence the emotional reaction a patient will have to an illness?
Past experiences with illness and with health care create a mindset that is either positive or negative. A patient with a positive mindset toward health care professionals is likely to experience fewer negative emotions than a patient whose negative mindset leads him or her to expect another bad experience. Patients are likely to find examples to support whatever expectations they have.
