Abstract in brief

The study found that physicians often misjudge their patients' health beliefs, with significant discrepancies between what patients actually believe and what physicians think they believe (p<0.001).
Physicians tend to perceive their patients’ beliefs as more aligned with their own views than they truly are, leading to potential gaps in understanding.
Greater physician understanding of patients’ health beliefs was associated with actual patient participation, such as asking questions and assertiveness, highlighting the importance of patient engagement in improving communication.]
