Doctor-patient communication is a research area that focuses on understanding and improving the interactions between healthcare providers and patients. This includes studying the ways in which doctors communicate information, listen to patients, and involve them in decision-making, as well as how patients communicate their needs and concerns. Effective doctor-patient communication has been shown to improve patient satisfaction, adherence to treatment plans, and health outcomes. Researchers in this area may study various interventions and techniques to enhance communication skills and promote a more collaborative and patient-centered approach to care.
