Abstract:
The Chinese health care system has suffered from severe tension between patients and doctors during the past decade. Patient-centered communication (PCC) may play a significant role in mitigating this problem. With a general basis of the pathway model linking communication to health, this paper illustrates social mechanisms that underlie how PCC improves health outcomes in China. Using three-wave panel data collected in China, the results showed that PCC failed to directly influence health. Instead, PCC at Wave 1 predicted patient satisfaction and patient trust at Wave 2, which in turn enhanced self-reported health outcomes at Wave 3. In addition, bonding social capital positively moderated the effect of PCC on patient trust.
