Summary: Physicians have an ethical obligation to establish a therapeutic alliance with their patients and should try to resolve conflicts through communication or mediation. If restoring the therapeutic relationship is not feasible, ending the patient-physician relationship may be the best option. This statement provides an ethical framework and evidence-based tools to manage patient-physician conflict and rebuild meaningful connections with patients.

Summary: The research shows no correlation between patient-centered communication and patient satisfaction in this sample, and there are also no significant differences between the intervention and control groups. This raises the question of to what extent patient satisfaction can be significantly shaped through patient-centered communication.

Summary: This study examined the ways in which Chinese patients share online health information with physicians and the subsequent impact on the physician-patient relationship. The results indicated that patients with lower communication apprehension tend to share information more directly with their physicians, which can positively affect their perceived reactions and satisfaction. However, eHealth literacy was not found to be associated with patients' sharing of online information.

Summary: The online patient educational materials (PEMs) related to radiation safety are still written at higher than recommended reading levels. Radiologist training is crucial in providing guidance to patients on radiation safety. Improving the readability of online PEMs can enhance radiology-patient communication and encourage a shift towards a patient-centered model of practice.

Summary: Despite rapid advances in medical knowledge and technology, the clinical encounter often lacks personalization and fails to meet the needs of both patients and practitioners. This is due to various factors such as time constraints, overreliance on technology, and inappropriate medical practices. To address these shortcomings, we recommend adopting six attitudes to create a more patient-centered approach: fostering curiosity, emphasizing humanistic values, conducting thorough physical examinations, increasing direct interaction with patients, addressing holistic health, and promoting rational medical practices.

Summary: This study evaluated the reasons for seeking care in patients with back pain and compared them to physicians' assumptions. The results showed that patients placed high importance on the explanation of the pain cause, improvement in pain level, and improvement in daily tasks ability, while they attributed low importance to surgery and medication. Furthermore, physicians underestimated the importance of an explanation for the pain.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-ethnography to identify and synthesize guidance for optimizing feedback interactions in undergraduate clinical communication simulations. The findings led to the development of a new Feedback Kidney Model, which can guide medical education and future research on feedback in promoting learning. Incorporating meta-cognitive training and utilizing the model can help improve students' learning and communication with patients through on-site face-to-face feedback.

Summary: This study explores the interpretation of MS-targeted nutrition messages using semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that dietary changes made by patients with MS after diagnosis are a coping mechanism to address uncertainty, fear of disease progression, and the risk of relapse. The admiration and skepticism towards extremist MS diets depend on individual vulnerability and support from healthcare professionals. The unique MS journey influences the interpretation of the messages, driven by engagement, practicality, and credibility.

Summary: This study examined how language choices made by call handlers affect the progress of complaint calls and the stance of the callers. The findings showed that displaying affiliation at relevant moments in the conversation helps advance the call and de-escalate the complaint, while the absence or misplacement of affiliation may lead to escalation. Early intervention in establishing affiliation with the caller's concerns and reasoning is crucial for de-escalation.

Summary: This study examined the impact of racial differences on patient trust and distrust in physician-patient interactions through audio-recorded cardiologist-patient encounters. The results showed that Black patients had lower expressions of trust and a higher level of guardedness compared to White patients. It suggests that White clinicians can improve communication with Black patients to increase expressions of trust.

Summary: This paper aims to understand the facilitators and barriers perceived by general practice physicians in initiating anticipatory guidance around firearm safety. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 18 GPs to explore their perspectives. Barriers to providing secure firearm storage counseling include inadequate screening mechanisms, limited understanding of who is at risk for firearm injury, time pressures, concerns about patient receptivity, and a need for training. Structural issues need to be addressed before focusing on how to have conversations about firearm safety.

Summary: This study aims to explore the perspectives and needs of healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients regarding the use of outcome data in consultations. The findings indicate that HCPs do not routinely use aggregated outcome data in consultations due to various barriers. Patients, however, consider aggregated outcome data important but have different preferences based on their health conditions.

Summary: This study summarizes the recent evidence on the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of videoconference group-based patient and caregiver education. The results suggest that this education approach is highly feasible and acceptable, and may improve health outcomes for participants. However, the evidence of effectiveness is limited and the quality of studies varies. Further research is needed to establish the effectiveness of this education approach for different patient and caregiver groups.
