The doctor-patient relationship is fundamental in the treatment of infertility, due to the emotional implications of fertilization procedures. However, insufficient data are available specifically for this relationship. The general objective of the study is to establish the associations between the fundamental concepts that define the doctor-patient relationship: communication, empathy, trust, collaboration, compliance and satisfaction. A cross-sectional study was conducted between May and June 2020 and followed the methods of a quantitative analysis, collecting the data using questionnaires. The research plan was specific to path analysis with the mediation effect, in which the hypotheses were tested. The research group consisted of 151 women diagnosed with infertility, voluntarily recruited through online support communities. Findings demonstrate that affective empathy mediates the relationship between communication and trust in the doctor. In conclusion, this study draws attention to the importance of basic concepts in the relationship of infertility specialists with infertile patients. Thus, it is necessary for health care providers in assisted human reproduction to participate in programs for the continuous training of empathic communication skills, given the sensitivity of this diagnosis.
由于受精程序涉及情感因素，医患关系在不孕症治疗中至关重要。然而，专门针对这种关系的数据并不充分。本研究的总体目标是确定定义医患关系的基本概念之间的关联：沟通、同理心、信任、协作、依从性和满意度。2020年5月至6月进行了一项横断面研究，采用定量分析方法，通过问卷收集数据。研究计划专门针对具有中介效应的路径分析，对假设进行了检验。研究组由151名被诊断为不孕症的女性组成，她们是通过在线支持社区自愿招募的。研究结果表明，情感同理心在医患沟通与信任之间起中介作用。总之，本研究提醒人们关注不孕症专家与不孕患者关系中基本概念的重要性。因此，鉴于这一诊断的敏感性，辅助生殖领域的医疗服务提供者有必要参与共情沟通技能的持续培训项目。
