The language and style chosen by the personnel working in state hospitals in their communication with patients are considered an integral part of quality healthcare services.

Language and Form of Address in Communication

It is argued that the style used by personnel from all departments in hospitals when communicating with citizens is of great importance.

It is pointed out that different forms of address requesting the same information leave different impressions on patients.

Approach During the Examination Process

Criticism is raised that some physicians do not listen to patients sufficiently and fail to establish the necessary communication during the examination.

It is stated that the psychological impact of the expressions used on patients can affect the treatment process.

Mutual Respect and Responsibility

It is emphasized that professional titles do not grant the right to exhibit harsh or condescending attitudes toward patients.

It is noted that while the state provides infrastructure and equipment, adhering to rules of courtesy is an individual responsibility.
