Fear, suffering, dependency as well as the "bad reputation" of professionals, institutions or procedures contribute to the answer to care rejection. Patients reject the disease because of pain and suffering. Knowledge plays a double role in health care because it helps to accept or reject care and promote patients' acceptance and satisfaction. Conclusion. Rejection is a patient decision answering to situations linked to the disease, knowledge and nurses' behaviors should be taken into account by the nurses.
