Result: The empirical research present the following results: (1) authority and witness are the two key factors to construct the stakeholders'(doctors' and patients') awareness and trust of citizen journalist reporting on the doctor-patient relationship issues. (2) stakeholders' perception on citizen journalism will construct them concern on the uncertain and unfamiliar knowledge during the hospital activities.

Discussion: The interpretation of doctor-patient relationship reports by doctors and patients affects their mutual trust.

Reading the content of doctor-patient conflicts reflected in citizen journalist reports can exacerbate the emotional fluctuations of doctors and patients. After reading these reports, doctors and patients may experience increased anxiety about uncertainty and unfamiliarity in doctor-patient communication.
