Doctor-Patient Communication: A Review

Jennifer Fong Ha and Nancy Longnecker,

Ana:

I would imagine communication is of paramount importance between patient and doctor as both have to relate what's wrong and how to fix it with the understanding that each trust one another to tell the truth. Here's what's available on RG:

Best regards,

Debra

The classic book is Doctors talking with patients /patients talking with doctors Roter / Hall 2000

Communication is vital to establishing a correct diagnosis and in maximizing patient adherence to prescribed therapy/ies. It is a central preoccupation of the European Society for Person Centered Healthcare (see attachment)

Thank you, Andrew. Very interesting.

Muito obrigada, Isabel!

I found crossly & Davies: doctors' consultation with children and their parents: a model of competencies, outcomes and confounding influences. Medical Education 2005(39); 807-819 useful

Monash Uni has incorporated mindfulness into their medical degree, partly to handle workload stress, but largely to enhance Dr-patient communication. Better focus on the moment leads to better engagement. See Dr Craig Hassed's publications: http://www.monash.edu.au/research/people/profiles/profile.html?sid=631&pid=2749

Mindfulness has inherited greatly from the work of Stephen Levine, a palliative counsellor.

Bom Dia.

In general medical anthropology does a lot of research on the topic of doctor-patient-communication. Look at Kleinmanns Explanatory Models and also his distinction between Illness and Diesease - to find via google scholar. Many anthropologists do research with cancer patients, as I also do.

Hullo Anna,

According to how you put it probably you need some references sources on Role of Communication in Doctor Patient relationship (especially in oncology)

One of my favorite is the New England Journal of Medicine in which you can get ideas of reduction of post operative pain through encouragement and instruction to patients (All aspects of communication to the patients)

http://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJM196404162701606

 Also look at this link for all sorts of references you can peruse through to get what you want. Some are in area o oncology and some are general though

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleListURL&_method=list&_ArticleListID=-857515778&_sort=v&_st=17&view=c&_origin=related_art&panel=citeRelatedArt&_mlktType=Journal&md5=b1e7aa3d52e478a051517e08107eb875&searchtype=a

 Im sure you will like some of them, please give me a feedback on whether any was helpful

 Regards

Hi Ana,

A late reply but I wrote on the doctor's perspective and the issue of communication was the key factor in the doctor-patient relationship.
