The influences of acculturation strategies on physician trust among internal migrants in Shanghai, China: a cross-sectional study in 2021
Berry's framework delineates four acculturation strategy patterns applicable to internal migrants in Chinese megacities, and the effects of these distinct patterns on trust in physicians have been demonstrated. This research provides valuable insights into the dynamics of doctor-patient relationships among internal migrants in China's megacities. Therefore, it is advisable for the Chinese government to launch a combined effort from multiple stakeholders to adopt targeted interventions designed for specific demographic groups to foster greater trust in physicians among internal migrants.
