โ
There is evidence that when patients are heard and understood, they become more vocal and inquisitive and their health improves. Participation facilitates investment and empowerment.
โ
Good communication is essential to the maintenance of a relationship between the patient and physician that will foster ongoing care. When patients are ill, they feel vulnerable, physically and psychologically exposed, and powerless.
โ
The physician, by virtue of his or her knowledge and status, has power that can be intimidating. It is essential that the physician be aware of this disparity and ensure that the โbalance of powerโ does not shift too far away from the patient.

โ
The term compliance has long been used in medicine; it suggests that the patient will follow the physicianโs recommendations or โorders.โ The term is criticized as being overly paternalistic; an alternative term, adherence to therapy, is preferable.
โ
This term still implies that the physician will dictate the therapy.A more collaborative approach is suggested by the phrase successful use of therapy, which can be credited mutually to the physician and the patient.

โ
As noted, the physician should establish a balance of power in the relationship, including conducting serious discussions about diagnosis and management strategies when the patient is fully clothed and face-to-face with the physician in a private room.
โ
Body language is important during interactions with patients. The physician should avoid an overly casual manner, which can communicate a lack of respect or compassion.
โ
The patient should be viewed directly and spoken to with eye contact so that the physician is not perceived as โlooking off into the distance.โ
