Abstract Background Good physician-patient communication is an important aspect of patient-centered care and contributes to positive health outcomes. However there is a lack of standard EU communication training policies for physicians. This study explores the barriers to good communication for both physicians and patients across four EU countries as part of the EU-funded Project “H-COM”, Health Communication Training for Health Professionals. Methods Eight focus groups were conducted with a total of 31 patients and 38 physicians from Germany, Greece, Spain, and Cyprus. Three themes were covered; perceptions, barriers and needs for health communication. Results Commonalities and differences between countries and target groups were identified, with participants discussing attitudinal, emotional, educational, and systemic barriers to good communication. Identified barriers among patients include a deeply embedded hierarchical notion and arrogance among physicians, inadequate or difficult to understand language, busy schedules. Among doctors barriers identified were mostly systemic having to do with busy schedules, large number of patients, and lack of time. Participants especially patients indicated a significant gap in health communication knowledge, skills, and training for physicians, with several regional differences being present especially between Mediterranean and central European countries. Conclusions The results imply a strong need for communication training, tailored accordingly in specific countries. Further development of policies related to the inclusion of such training in medical studies across EU would be of great importance. Key messages There are differences concerning health communication needs and barriers between EU regions and the development of tailored training. Although identified as important there is a lack of health communication training in certain EU MS and an urgent need to incorporate training in basic medical and nursing education.

Reliable Scale

The research describes efforts toward developing a valid and reliable scale used to assess science communication training effectiveness (SCTE) undertaken in conjunction with a 4-year project funded by the National Science Foundation. Results suggest that the SCTE scale possesses acceptable psychometric properties, specifically reliability and validity, with regard to responses from graduate students in science, technology, engineering, and math fields. While it cannot be concluded that the SCTE scale is the “be-all-end-all” tool, it may assist investigators in gauging success of science communication training efforts and by identifying aspects of the program that are working or that need improving.

Dying Patient

Doctor-patient communication is an essential component in caring for a dying patient. Communication problems have been identified in 84% to 94% of clinical encounters. Good doctor-patient communication reduces the risk of iatrogenic suffering, mood, anxiety, and adjustment disorders among cancer patients and their families. This chapter provides an overview of the guidelines for communication and empathy in caring for terminally ill patients, including essential strategies for effective doctor-patient communication, core communication skills, and teaching methods utilized in communication training programs.
