Sammanfattning
Are there any requisites for creating and/or building trust with the citizens?
To investigate this question, questionnaires were analyzed from 2,184 inhabitants
in Västra Götaland, 18 to 85 years. The results showed that there was
a relatively strong association between residents’ views on regional management
and the confidence they had for their politicians. In particular, this
association was relevant in terms of health care. Further, it was revealed that
the residents’ confidence in the region’s politicians primarily was related to
their perceptions of the healthcare organization’s effectiveness and secondary
to their perceptions of the medical quality. As an overall conclusion,
there appears to be scope for increasing politicians’ confidence through targeted
policy management and development of the region’s activities.
