        "abstract": "In recent decades, the field of lifestyle medicine has gained a significant momentum due to a growing recognition that lifestyle choices and habits can profoundly impact health outcomes. However, many physicians miss the opportunity to induce healthy behavioral changes in their patients during routine clinical consultations, probably due to a lack of training in communication skills in this area and practical constraints inherent in busy clinical practice. This article explores how physicians can learn the information-knowledge-attitude-practice (IKAP) communication model in clinical practice to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors in their patients, expanding its use beyond its traditional role in nursing care."
