Abstract

Conclusion: According to the research findings, establishing a trust-based communication between patients and physicians is important for patient satisfaction and compliance to treatment. To better the communication between patients and physicians, courses for improving physicians' communication skills should be included in formal education, and its importance should be emphasized. Any deficiencies in this matter should be eliminated through in-service training.
