Abstract
Review question / Objective: The aims of this systematic review are: first, to critically synthesize current evidence for the associations between physician-patient communication (PPC) and patients’ adjustment outcomes; second, to analyse and describe the associations reported to date between PPC and physicians' adjustment outcomes; and third, to identify needs for future research on the outcomes and correlates of PPC. To this end, the proposed systematic review will address the following question: How is PPC related to patients' and physicians' adjustment outcomes? Information sources: Literature systematic search will be conducted on the following electronic databases: PubMed/Medline, PsycINFO (host: OVID), Embase (host: OVID), SocIndex (host: EBSCO) and Communication Source (host: EBSCO). References cited in articles and in previous systematic reviews will also be further reviewed to locate any additional relevant articles that may have not been retrieved within the primary search.
