Sažetak
Communication is an integral part of any relationship with patients and their families, and represents the key to the success of the medical team. Communication and relationship have been demonstrated to have an impact on patients’ experience of care, to improve patients’ adherence to treatment regimens, clinical outcomes and quality, patient safety, teamwork, cultural sensitivity, and to reduce medical malpractice risk. Having good communication skills is essential for doctors to establish good doctor patient relationship. With the increase in demand from patients who value doctors who are patient centred, together with the rise of consumerism in medicine, health service research on doctor patient relationship has become an important area of interest for healthcare professionals. Better doctor patient communication was shown to be associated with better emotional and physical health, higher symptom resolution, and better control of chronic diseases that included better blood pressure, blood glucose and pain control. More studies showed that the degree of patient-centred communication was associated with less discomfort, less concern and better mental health in patients. It is necessary to mention that experience and talent are not enough to ensure optimal communication doctor - patient - family. Experience alone can be a poor teacher in communication skills and observation of ‘bedside manner’ is an inefficient way of teaching communication skills. Successful educational interventions require multipronged strategies including building up knowledge, demonstration, feedback, reflection, and self-assessment, repeated practice in safe and simulated environment. Specific teaching and learning methods are required in communication skill training.
