Methods Among the doctors under the age of 40 in various clinical departments, according to 30% proportion, we randomly selected 32 doctors, and combined with revised Liverpool communication skills assessment scale (LCSAS) and standardized patients (SP), the doctors' ability of doctor-patient communication was evaluated. Descriptive statistics, t test and variance analysis were per-formed by SPSS 21.0 lines. Results The average score of communication etiquette of young doctors was (2.00±0.15), and the average score of their communication skills was (1.74±0.29), and the average score of their communication technical ability was (3.74±0.39). The detection rate of communication etiquette, communication skills and communication skills evaluation (less than 2) was 33.3%, 81.5%, and 85.2%, respectively. Physicians and surgeons' scores in communication etiquette and communication skills dimen-sion had significant difference (P<0.05). Significant difference was found in different ages doctor communi-cation protocol (F=3.641, P=0.028), and 20 to 25 years old doctors' score in communication manners was significantly lower than other ages (P<0.05). There were significant differences in the scores of doctors of different title in communication etiquette (F=4.410, P=0.023), and the trainee doctors' communication etiquette score was significantly lower than the physician and surgeon (P<0.05). Conclusion The commu-nication skills of young doctors in our hospital are generally in the middle state, and their communication etiquette is good, communication skills are general. There are great individual differences. Hospital should begin from those whose communication ability are low, cultivate their biology-psychology-social medicine thinking mode of the doctor-patient relationship , help new employees complete the role transformation , emotion management, and professional commitment, and encourage patients to participate in the medical process, so as to improve the doctors' communication ability in all directions and at different levels.
