The world is embroiled in a pandemic of a new coronavirus at the end of 2019 and early in 2020, with such a large scale that it has severely involved the political, economic, and social systems in most countries around the world. The scale of the crisis is so widespread that many experts believe that the post-corona world will be substantially different from the pre-corona world. In the face of this massive epidemic, how people perceive risk and how to risk is communicated, plays a central role in deciding and choosing people's behavior. Fighting with this emerging phenomenon requires mobilizing all the possibilities of society and helping all people in the field of empathy and altruism. In this article, we briefly review aspects of the important concept of risk perception and Communication in this pervasive crisis.

Introduction: Nursing students’ Communication skills lead to their health services. The present study aims to determine the impact of Communication skills training on nursing students’ Satisfaction in relation with patients.Methods: This semi-experimental study consists of one group of pre and posttest. 35 nursing students through simple random sampling were selected. Data was collected by a demographic data, “queen-dom Communication skills test” (the validity and reliability has been approved in previous studies), and “nursing student Satisfaction in communicating with patients”. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by content validity from 10 lecturers and its reliability was measured by Cronbach’s Alpha from 10 students. Data was analyzed by SPSS 21.Results: In pre-intervention stage, the average nursing student Satisfaction rate in communicating with patients and its different aspects changed from 2.48 in patient’s clinical state (min) to 3.46 in verbal Communication state (max). In post-intervention stage, the average parameters changed from 3.68 in patients’ clinical state to 4.50 in verbal Communication state. In post-intervention stage, the average nursing student Satisfaction rate was more than the average (P < 0.05).Conclusions: Communication skills training for nursing students leads to increase in their Satisfaction with patients. It is suggested that nursing teaches and managers pay more attention to Communication skill training in both theoretical and practical courses.

Doctor-patient Communication is an important tool in health care by which physicians and patients relate to each other and attempt to achieve therapeutic goals (Hulsman, et al. 1999). Numerous studies have already been carried out to investigate the nature of such Communication and ways of enhancing its quality (e.g. Cassell, 1985 and Chan, et al. 2002). However, review of the literature indicates that medical education on doctor-patient Communication has not made any comparison between the patients' perceptions of general practitioners (GPs) and those of specialist physicians (SPs). The aims of the current study are therefore to investigate and compare patients' Satisfaction with regard to clinic interactions they have with GPs on the one hand and SPs on the other. This is done by the use of a IS-item questionnaire, developed based on the key principles of doctor-patient Communication, suggested by psycho-socialists and clinical psychologists (e.g. Kaplan and Sadock 1998). The questionnaire was completed by a total of 1209 subjects, 485 of whom were GPs' patients and 724 who had referred to SPs. According to the results, Satisfaction rate with GPs was significantly greater than that with SPs (i.e. 54% vs. 48%, p= 0.04). In other words, patients referring to GPs were significantly more satisfied with their clinic interviews than those referring to SPs.
