The aim of the research is to discuss the importance of doctor-patient communication for the quality of life of patients. Information with patients receive should be focused and adjusted to both the particular patient population and the individual recipient. In order to ensure optimal treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction, health care professionals must be aware of the peculiarities of diseases, their nature and social stigma as well as the vital problems of the patient. Creation of an appropriate doctor-patient relationship begins with a transmission of information about the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. The way this information is framed must take into consideration the high sensitivity of certain groups to verbal messages.
