Abstract
US adults (N = 2,125) with hypermobility disorders reported low healthcare satisfaction, health quality of life, and symptom management self-efficacy. Lower healthcare satisfaction was associated with lower quality of life and symptom management self-efficacy. Qualitative data indicated that participants desired more knowledge about hypermobility and less dismissiveness among healthcare professionals.
