The Methodological Guide to the Discipline Romanian as a foreign language for medical students Didactic assistance for optimizing doctor-patient communication is structured in 3 chapters: the first chapter includes conceptual milestones of competency-based education, data on the concept of competences and their role in modern education; the second chapter analyzes the concept of interpersonal communication versus linguistic competence including general considerations on the communication competence between linguistic knowledge and performance as an integral part of the competence formation process of doctor-patient interpersonal communication looked through the prism of medical terminology knowledge; the third chapter highlights pragmatic hypostases of formation/development of doctor-patient communication competence focused on Romanian medical language, as well, are presented practical reasonings for optimizing doctor-patient communication competence focused on specialized language and methodological recommendations for formation/development of doctor-patient communication competence within the Discipline Romanian as a foreign language for medical students. To attain the established objectives, the formation/development of doctor-patient interpersonal communication competence within the Discipline Romanian as a foreign language for medical students, we focused on the innovative teaching and creative learning of some curricular content and on contextualized use of a number of communication methods and techniques based on the development of critical and creative thinking such as: Ciorchinele; Mosaic; SINELG; Glottodrama, Cinquain, Project, etc. According to therapeutic and ethical perspectives, the modern doctor should be able to create and maintain correct relationship with patients, their relatives, as well as in relationship with colleagues and society, etc. The modern doctor is able to effectively use communication techniques, request and provide information, correctly apply active listening, explanation, silence, paraphrasing, empathy, acceptance, etc. Physicians should receive adequate training that meets the patients’ current needs and is based on their holistic approach.

Doctor-patient communication is important in all medical consultations including for In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatment. An unfavourable communication experience can cause a patient to stop taking the treatment, move to another local fertility clinic, or even seek treatment abroad. There are still few studies documenting communication experiences of patients with infertility seeking reproductive treatment in other countries. This study aimed to describe the communication experiences of Indonesian IVF patients receiving IVF treatment from medical practitioners in fertility clinics in Malaysia. This study used Benner's interpretive phenomenology framework in its approach and when analysing the results. Data collection was carried out using in-depth and semi-structured interviews with 11 IVF patients from Pekanbaru city Indonesia who received IVF treatment in fertility clinics in Malaysia. This study found three main themes shared by the IVF patients’ communication experiences: 1) memorable experiences (friendliness and caring, empathy, honesty and openness, clarity and adequacy of the information, and easiness of communication; 2) less memorable experiences (less interpersonal communication, less warm non-verbal communication, and miscommunication); and 3) communication barriers (English). These findings have important implications for both the prospective patients receiving cross-border fertility treatment in the future and for service providers providing fertility treatment to improve doctor-patient communication. Keywords: Health communication, doctor-patient communication, communication experience, infertility, cross-border reproductive care, in vitro fertilisation treatment.

This paper questions the nature of the communicative event that takes place in online contexts between doctors and web-users, showing computer-mediated linguistic norms and discussing the nature of the participants’ roles. Based on an analysis of 1005 posts occurring between doctors and the users of health service websites, I analyse how doctor–patient communication is affected by the medium and how health professionals overcome issues concerning the virtual medical visit. Results suggest that (a) online medical answers offer a different service from that expected by users, as doctors cannot always fulfill patient requests, and (b) net consultations use aspects of traditional doctor–patient exchange and yet present a language and a style that are affected by the computer-mediated environment. Additionally, it seems that this new form leads to a different model of doctor–patient relationship. The findings are intended to provide new insights into web-based discourse in doctor–patient communication and to demonstrate the emergence of a new style in medical communication.

From a clinical perspective, effective and efficient communication is part of a strategy to ensure doctors are providing high-quality care to their patients. Despite the positive impact of effective doctor–patient communication on health outcomes, limited information is available on this in Fiji. This study was carried out to determine the current patients’ perception of doctors’ communication behaviour and identify factors affecting the doctor–patient communication in Fiji. This mixed-method study was conducted in the outpatient setting of three randomly selected health centres in the Suva Subdivision, Fiji. For the quantitative phase, systematic random sampling was used to select the 375 participants who completed the structured questionnaire; of those, 20 participants were selected for the qualitative interview. From the patients’ perception, 45.6% of them perceived doctors’ communication behaviour as good, 53.6% as fair, and 0.8% as poor communication behaviour. Qualitative findings highlight factors such as the attitude of the doctors, their approach, their interaction with the patients, and them providing an explanation as important factors during doctor–patient communication. In Fiji, the majority of patients perceived doctors’ communication behaviour as fair to good and the doctors’ skills were important for effective doctor–patient communication. This study highlighted the importance of doctor–patient communication and suggested that doctors might not be practicing patient-centred care and communication; thus, they need to upgrade their patient-centred communication skills.
