Summary: Effective physician-patient communication is essential for building strong relationships and reducing medical disputes. This study examined the communication behaviors of internists, surgeons, family physicians, and emergency physicians at a regional hospital in Taiwan. The findings showed that internists need to improve their overall communication performance, surgeons excel in non-verbal relationship-building, family physicians are skilled in facilitation and patient activation, and emergency physicians perform well in patient education and counseling. These characteristics can be used to develop indicators of physician-patient communication and improve patient-centered healthcare services in the future.

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: In this study of patients with ulcerative colitis, bidirectional sharing of information between physicians and patients significantly influenced patient satisfaction with treatment decision-making and patient trust in physicians. Information on disease, treatment, and endoscopy was particularly important for patient satisfaction and trust, with physician-to-patient information having a greater impact.

Summary: This systematic review examined the use of standard-setting methods in simulation-based training of surgical procedures. Most studies considered and described how standard settings were established, but there were significant differences in study design, setup, and expert level classification. Surgical education is shifting towards competency-based education, with simulation-based training being increasingly used for skill acquisition and assessment.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of physician-patient relationship training on medical students' interpersonal skills. The results demonstrated that students who had undergone training courses showed improvement in their interpersonal skills, particularly those who had completed multiple courses. Therefore, physician-patient relationship training is effective in initial education, but repetition of the training is necessary to increase its impact.

Summary: Using the Video-based Communication Assessment (VCA), physicians can receive ratings and comments from analog patients on responding to communication dilemmas depicted in videos, leading to actionable recommendations for improving communication. Identified themes such as caring, empathy, and respect, along with incorporating analog patient quotes, provide focused feedback and reduce burden on users in enhancing physician-patient communication practices.

Summary: This study examined the effects of physician verbal and nonverbal immediacy on patient liking, motivation to process health information, and recall. The results showed that greater verbal and nonverbal immediacy led to higher patient liking and motivation to comply with physician requests. However, immediacy did not affect information recall. It is recommended for physicians to display verbal and nonverbal immediacy to create a positive impression and motivate patients to improve their health.

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 study found that oncologists use variable terminology to describe molecular testing, which is often not understood by patients. White participants were more likely to understand genetic testing and mutation, while patients with higher family income were also more likely to understand the terms. The results highlight the importance of developing more effective methods to explain molecular testing terminology to patients.
