Mutual understanding between doctor and patient is necessary for successful treatment. Patients with rosacea respond differently to risk. The options of attitude to risk in 30 patients with rosacea were examined. Questionnaires developed by V.G. Maralov and et al. were used as a diagnostic instrumentation. The combination of sensitivity degree to threats and response methods defines 8 types of relation to risk. As a result of the study, it was found that types of attitude to risk differed in patients with rosacea depending on sex. An adequate response to risk is peculiar to men (58%). Tendency to exaggeration the risk is typical for women (44%). There was a high inverse relationship between rosacea remoteness and sensitivity degree to risks (p<0.05). The article presents the situations of response to prescribing therapy in patients with rosacea based on clinical reports. The need to introduce testing into daily practice is determined by ability to identify factors to establish conditions for development of adequate responses to the risk. Applying the obtained results in practice will allow doctor to build a more trusting relationships with patient according to the its attitude to risk, that will significantly improve treatment efficacy.
