title: Attitude change: be reasonable, do it my way.
abstract: Governing most of medical practice are our attitudes towards people, policies, and procedures. This article considers attitude components and models of attitude change. Some consequences are discussed as a conceptual survival kit for hospital staff, in the hope that as we become more aware of how we form attitudes, we will be less inhibitory to healthy change.
