There are many studies on the influence of online health information on the doctor-patient relationship, whereas a little research has examined this relationship between health information online support from doctors and patient-physician interaction by quantitative empirical analysis. This study also explores the online guidance role of doctors and whether doctor-patient communication will affect the trust of doctors and patients. The practical implications of this study include an improved understanding of the function of online health information and potential impacts regarding the interaction with physicians and trust toward physicians that can be used to resolve conflicts between doctors and patients.
