Summary: There are several barriers to a sound doctor-patient relationship (DPR) development. This study aimed to review and summarize the literature on DPR barriers and to discuss possible ways to improve it, overcoming problems. A narrative literature revision was performed, reading title and abstract, of a total of 917 articles, 156 selected for complete reading out of which 67 were included in this review. The barriers to good DPR can be divided into four main categories: doctor-related, patient-related, doctor and patient-related, and external factors related. It is possible to intervene in several of these obstacles through medical student and doctor formation in communication and empathy, public health literacy amelioration, and organizational and procedural health facilities improvement. More quantitative and qualitative investigation is deemed necessary to reinforce the evidence and empirical knowledge about DPR.

Objetivou-se rever e sumarizar a literatura sobre barreiras à boa RMD e discutir possíveis vias de superação. Realizou-se uma revisão narrativa da literatura, pesquisando online a PubMed, o RCAAP e todos os repositórios das faculdades médicas portuguesas, obtendo-se 917 artigos, sendo selecionados 156 artigos por leitura de título e resumo e, destes, 67 para a realização do trabalho após leitura integral. As barreiras à RMD podem dividir-se em relacionadas com o médico, com o doente, com ambos ou com fatores externos. É possível intervir em várias através da formação de estudantes e de médicos em comunicação e empatia, nos doentes investindo em literacia em saúde e, para as organizações em que trabalham, na melhoria das condições organizacionais e processuais em que e com que as consultas ocorrem. É necessária mais investigação quantitativa e qualitativa que permita reforçar a evidência científica e noções empíricas sobre a RMD e formas de a potenciar.Associação Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar2024-07-08info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.32385/rpmgf.v40i3.13891https://doi.org/10.32385/rpmgf.v40i3.13891Portuguese Journal of Family Medicine and General Practice; Vol. 40 No. 3 (2024): Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar; 268-84Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar; Vol. 40 Núm. 3 (2024): Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar; 268-84Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar; Vol. 40 N.º 3 (2024): Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar; 268-842182-51812182-517310.32385/rpmgf.v40i3reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://rpmgf.pt/ojs/index.php/rpmgf/article/view/13891https://rpmgf.pt/ojs/index.php/rpmgf/article/view/13891/11961Direitos de Autor (c) 2024 Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiarinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantiago, Luiz MiguelSantiago, Luiz MiguelGomes, Carolina2024-09-17T12:00:47Zoai:ojs.rpmgf.pt:article/13891Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T18:52:57.109724Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
