Among the control variables, professional title ( B = 0.07, SE = 0.04, p < 0.05) was positively related to communication efficacy, and age showed marginal significance ( B = 0.07, SE = 0.04, p = 0.08).
Among the control variables, professional title ( B = 0.07, SE = 0.04, p < 0.05) was positively related to communication efficacy, and age showed marginal significance ( B = 0.07, SE = 0.04, p = 0.08).
Second, the interaction effect of education and perceived ability on physician trust was marginally significant ( B = −0.07, SE = 0.05, p = 0.08); the association between perceived ability and physician trust was stronger for physicians with low levels of education (simple slope = 0.41, t = 9.14, p < 0.001) than for those with high levels of education (simple slope = 0.31, t = 6.03, p < 0.001).
